Memorial Day
We took Taylor and Morgan to the beach for the first time on Memorial Day. Taylor enjoyed it until a big wave crashed at her back and scared her speachless. She would walk up to the water but wouldn't go in it again. But she and daddy had fun buidling castles in the sand and sitting in the bucket!
Sorry but I couldn't figure out how to turn the 2 pictures around....

Morgn Parker is here!
Morgan Parker Muhlbauer entered the world at 8:04 am on April 30, 2007. He weighed 8' 1" and was 20 1/2 inches long.
He has a beautilful head of black hair, just like his daddy. Finally, at least one of our children will look like him now :)
He had a little problem breathing for the first 2 days but has been given a clean bill of health. We just love him to pieces and his big sister thinks he is just the greatest new thing. She constantly calls him "baby". We keep telling her his name but she likes baby. So, I guess that is what she will call him for now. She's so cute with him, she loves to hold him, feed him, give him every toy she sees in the house. She did try to eat out of his bottle last night but I think one taste of it and she won't be doing that again!
Last night was hysterical. It was our first night home. Every one was alseep until 1:00 am and all chaos takes place. Mom got up because Morgan was fussing so she had fed him and took him in to his room to change him. She comes down the hall quickly and told me to take him because he had peed all over his wall. So, as he's laying next to me in bed he starts to spit up...I'm barely moveable but I have to jerk up out of bed to get him on my shoulder. I swear I re-opened my incension doing that!! Then I look over and there is a ENORMOUS spider crawling on my wall. I start yelling for my mom because I'm in pain and I need someone to take Morgan but then I needed to get Mark to get the spider. Meanwhile, Mark had been sleeping with Taylor and Taylor wakes up and is so cute saying "Sshh...baby'a crying" with her finger over her lips. Mark comes in tries to get the spider, it gets away and I tell him I will not sleep in that house with that spider crawling aroound. Finally, Mark gets the spider, Morgan falls asleep, Mom cleaned up the pee and I laid in bed in tears because I was hurting so bad! What a memory :)

Final Thoughts
Tomorrow morning I will be giving birth to my son Morgan Parker. Words can not describe the emotions that I feel tonight. Joy that tomorrow I will no longer be fat!! But sadness as I realize this could be the last time I ever conceive a child, therefore all the wonder and goodness of being pregnant may end in the morning. I love being pregnant!! It's like having a pass for everyone to be nice to you. People let you skip in line when they see you, they help you pick up things when you drop them, they give up their seat for you and I can't even begin to say how nice the men at Publix are when they take out your groceries...they even open the car door for you! But tomorrow I will become just another person to strangers :(
Taylor is at Grandma and Grandpa's for the night and Mark and I are just spending the evening alone. Tomorrow we become parents of "children". Weird thought!! As I sit here and think back upon these past 9 months I am reminded of the miracle that has occured inside of me. Once you are pregnant, there is no denying the sanctity of life. To feel your child moving inside of you makes you realize how precious their little life is. I have loved every minute of feelilng Morgan move slowly and at times rather violently, feel him have hiccups, feel him stretch, turn over or just lay still while sleeping. To be in a crowded room of people and all of a sudden you feel your child move inside of you and no one else knows...it's like a little secret between just the two of you and it's the best secret ever!! The memories of being uncomfortable or in pain will fade and the precious memories of joy will always be at the front of my mind. I am so thankful God has given me the ability to bare children. It is something I have never and will never take for granted.
Because of this generous gift, Mark and I vow to always love our children unconditional, to help them through out life no matter the circumstance, to make our home a haven of peace and rest and most importantly to always lead them by being Godly examples. We pray that we will demonstrate in our own lives how to be committed to the Lord in all that we do so that one day our children will accept Christ as their personal Lord and Savior in their hearts.
To all who have prayed for us during this pregnancy we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to sharing with you all how God has blessed us with Taylor and now with Morgan and how we know God will continue to bless us as we glorify Him in all that we do.
I Sameual 1:27 I have prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I have asked of Him.

Easter in Hilliard
On Saturday, we had a family day at Hilliard for the choir and orchestra from our church. There were tons of things to do for the kids and Taylor was completely exhausted by the end of the day...as was me and my big buddah-belly!! Taylor's first Easter egg hunt and she had to wear a jacket...what was up with the weather in Florida for Easter this year? It was so cold I couldn't wait for her to find all the eggs so I could go warm up inside! However, she did find the golden egg and she won a really great prize which her daddy and I kept and gave to her the next morning for Easter :)
Aunt Amy aksed Taylor if she wanted to ride the ponies and she was very exicted!
Then they got to the ponies and Taylor just stared at them like "there's no way I'm getting on that horse!"
The the ultimate test came when Aunt Amy tried to put her on the pony...needless to say Taylor just watched from a distance.
But Taylor tackled her fears on the big blow-up slide! This is where I ended up spending the rest of my day, in front of the slide. There was a really big double slide as well that she went down. She would go head first, backwards, upside down, whatever...but if I would stop and ask her if she wanted to ride the ponies she would abruptly say "no!" How doing flips down a slide is safer than being on a pony that is attached to a walking wheel with trainers is beyond me! But everytime she got to the bottom of the slide she would say "again?" By the end of the day my family were about the only ones left at the park and Taylor, Aunt Amy, Mark, Grandpa, Katherine Carr and AJ Tyre (Uncle Too-Tall and Kat-Kat as Taylor calls them) were doing flips down this slide and acting like a bunch of teenagers while me and my mom just said there laughing at their stupidity!
