IT's A...

GIRL!!!  This October Lilla will be getting a sister! First and foremost, I had hoped and prayed for a healthy baby. Secondly, I had prayed that number two would be a little boy... for Grover's sake. He desperately wants a son. However, I could not be more excited that Lilla is going to have a sister. I never had that opportunity and often times wondered what I was missing out on. It seems that all the sisters that I know share such a special bond and I look forward to watching our girls develop that same special relationship. Of course we have no names picked out. I always knew that if I had one little girl her name would be Lillian, but I never dreamed that God would bless me with two sweet girls. Let the brainstorming begin!

Memorial Day 2011

We headed to the lake to celebrate the long Memorial Day Weekend. Our good friends the Fowlers joined us for the third year and for the first time it didn't rain. Not one time! I guess we can have them back again next year. We had a great time with family and friends!

Easter at the Beach

We headed to the beach the Thursday before Easter for the annual Easter beach trip. It is always such a great time having all of the McShan family together. The car ride down there was not so much fun. We waited to hit the road after Lilla's school Easter party. I thought she would be worn out and sleep the whole way down there, but boy was I wrong. It rained almost until Mobile and Lilla did not shut her little eyes once.  I was about to pull my hair out and so was Lilla but we finally made it and went straight to the beach. She covered herself in sand and just laid there making sand angels. I don't know if I will ever get all of the sand out of her hair. She was so thankful to be out of the car seat. I wish I had taken some pictures of her that first night but the camera was the last thing on my mind. Here are some pictures from the rest of our trip. As you can tell it was near impossible to get a decent family picture this year. We finally just gave up.
