Another addition to the Class of '24

Keeping with the baby boom in the class, Dana and I recently had baby girl #2. Rachel Anne Langston was born January 10. She was 7 lbs 6 oz and 19.5 inches long. Hopefully this will link to some pictures. http://langston.shutterfly.com/action/?a=8AcsXLhu3cNWMf. Congratulations to all the recent births and Brooke's rumored marriage.

Generations...

You will all be thrilled to hear that after 29 years of being family friends, two second generation Colonial Hills'ers will finally unite the Terrys and Harpers in marriage. Here are their engagement pictures...
Congratulations to Ava Harper and Gavin Lee!

Something in the water...

Brian and I had our little boy #2 on November 11. His name is Gavin Terry Lee. I would have let you guys know, sooner, but I just started back at work last week and I wasn't "connected" at home.

Brooke?

So I hear through the grapevine that Brooke is getting married in NC this weekend.

Best wishes Brooke! -- send some photos when you're all done and married.

New Baby in Alabama too

Kelly delivered our third child, another girl, Bailey Madison Varner. She was 7 pounds , 6 ounces. We were close to delivering in our vehicle on our way to the hospitol in the Talladega National Forest. The baby was born only 45 minutes after arrival at the hospitol. Unfortunately, Kelly experienced natural child birth i.e. no epidural.

New Baby

We had a baby girl last week. Abby Renee Daharsh.

You can see photos on my blog.

Homecoming on 9/23

Is anyone planning to attend the homecoming game on September 23? Kelly and I are planning to come.

CHCS Class of '92

Kelly and I are now expecting our third child in December. We (i.e. Kelly) are past the crying and nashing of teeth stage (aka "What have we done" stage); we have now entered the "sick and throw up" period. Kelly loves babies but hates the pregnancy. I just clean up around the house; and try not to say too much.

Oh... one more thing

Do you guys remember Alan Spencer? Well, I saw him, this weekend, at Karen Harper's house. He's doing pretty well. For those who haven't heard, he was in prison, recently, for killing a guy that robbed his store after the idiot tried to run Alan over with his stolen car. Long story short... he was in until he got a new attorney who got him a new hearing and he's out. Not sure for how long or if he's got a new trial or what, but at least he's home for now. And if I've gotten any of those details wrong, please feel free to post a correction. And keep Alan in your thoughts and prayers. He's been through alot!

O.K., John. Keep your shirt on!

Here's a quick update from me...

Number 2 will be here in November! We're really hoping for a girl. I'd like to NEVER be pregnant again and one of each would keep me from regretting anything! I love babies! But I hate havin' 'em! Braedon will point to my stomach (sort of) when we ask where the baby is. And he's saying "sister" or something that closely resembles that.

We're taking him on his first plane trip, this month. We've flown since he's been around, but never with him. This should be interesting! We'll be taking a short flight (about 1:30) to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Just a short weekend getaway to break him in. I'll let you know how it goes!

We just got back from St. George Island, FL, last week. Another short weekend. We flew down on Saturday and came back Tuesday. If you've never been and like quiet islands with no crowds and nice, private beaches, it's really worth it to rent a house down there for a week or so. There is NOTHING to do on the island other than hang out at the beach or pool, but what a nice getaway! We've been going down with friends every year for the past 4, but all us gals are expecting, so we couldn't wait until August (when we normally go). We'd all look like albino beached whales! So, it wasn't as warm as we would have liked, but still very nice.

O.K. That's about it. Somebody else's turn!
