IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Well, we went for the 20 week ultrasound after a little fall from mama and sent me to the hospital. Luckily everything was good with baby and while we were there we found out it is a Girl!!! Shuman tradition lives on :) We have come up with a name, Riley Lillian Shuman! At my Dr apt on Friday she let me know that the baby is healthy and well...... Very healthy and well. It seems she is in the 90th percentile of babies her age. So in my Dr's word "She is big, very big!" We are having another ultrasound in 4 weeks to get a few more pictures the Dr wants and we will get some print outs and post those. She told me that most babies at this term are between 6.5 to 7inches, Riley is pushing 10 inches right now and boy do I feel it. She is very very very active, our little soccer player already. Paul is really excited about having a girl, I will put up some pictures of some outfits he picked out all by himself! He did good!!!!! We are getting the room ready and have decided on Pink and Chocolate brown as the colors. We are super excited and will put pics up of the room as soon as we can!!!!!

Hurricane Ike!

3 weeks ago Hurricane Ike came to visit us. He didn't stay long but definitely caused some major damage. Luckily the house didn't get more than tree and a little siding damage. We lost a big tree in the back yard and half of one in the front. The side fence went down and we just had a lot of debris. It left us without power for 10 days and the city is just now restored to about 100% of its power although traffic lights are still out through out the city. Things are finally starting to look back to normal since the city has worked hard to get debris cleared from homes and businesses. Luckily we were very prepared with food storage and we did not have the problems that others faced since food shipments are just getting back to normal and grocery stores are still without some things. We are thankful everyday for the leadership of the Prophet and other Leaders and the guidance they give us. Paul's work is still very busy helping get homes and the city back to normal. He is not working 7 days anymore, only 6! But it is nice to have him home that one day!!!!!!! Here are some pictures of the damage to the yard and of the clean up afterward!
