Ultrasound - 18 weeks 3 days

We found out on Monday it is a healthy baby BOY! Little Henry Davis Vaughan wasn't really wanting to cooperate though; he was nice and comfy sleeping I suppose. I guess he gets the not being a true morning person from his mother.

He must also get his flexibility from his mother too-ha!

Squirrels

I am delayed in posting pictures of our most recent foster pup . . . Sterling. He is my parent's dog that has been staying with us for the last several months. He is a yellow lab about 9 years old and LOVES to play fetch and with the rest of our herd. He is a delight! And, since he comes from a family that follows the Crimson Tide, his Saturday scarf is red in color. He must stay true to his team, even though we would love to bring him over to the other side . . .

So much for branding the Bulls, but War Eagle anyway

Brock came and spent the weekend with us! We had the best time, despite the debacle otherwise known as the Auburn/South Florida game.

Emilie and Allen joined our tailgate also.
Gary made Tricia and I take a funny picture to rival one of he and Brett from last year's Georgia game . . . wasn't quite as funny.

17 weeks

Belly pictures - 17 weeks. My normal clothes still fit, but are getting a bit snug. One week from today we have our ultrasound. Will it be a little Henry Davis Vaughan? Or a Margaret Sophia? Or a Sophia Elizabeth? Or an Emerson Elizabeth? Either way, Gary is just hoping it has two legs and not four. I still don't have any feeling, girl or boy.

Weagle, weagle . . .

Bricks, Shelby and Savannah are ready for game day.

Wil, Brian & Margaret stopped by the tailgate.

Madeline Bradley Solomon

Congratulations to Allison and Joel on the birth of their daughter. Madeline was 6lbs, 14ozs, 20 inches long. Welcome to the world! Isn't she beautiful?!

Belly Pictures-13 weeks

Everything still fits, for now anyway. I can notice a small difference . . .

September 10th is the day we will find out the sex of the baby - providing he/she cooperates!

Alison & Erik's Wedding

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Erik Henninger!

Robbie & Emma

Weekend Photos

This past weekend we went to Birmingham for an engagement party to toast Robbie and Emma. It was great to visit with everyone, especially Mandy and Allison.

Baby Solomon meets Baby Vaughan for the first time.

Baby Solomon's (she has a name really, she does) grand entrance into the world is not too far away . . . will she make it to August 20th? Who's to know!

Breaking the News

Gary and I are excited to announce that we are expecting a baby in February 2008! Here are some pictures from the day we told our parents and families. I am 11 weeks and doing well so far. Due date is February 8th, 2008.

Cast your vote now - boy or girl - so far "girl" is taking an overwhleming lead for whatever reason! I remain indifferent.

More FL pictures

Castleball . . . a new sport invented by Kevin and Gary. Kevin took the bragging rights away from Gary this year.

Sarasota with Kevin and Sue

We just returned from a marvelous vacation with Kevin and Sue in Sarasota, FL. This is the second year in a row we have met down there and spent a few days together. It was a great trip and always nice to visit with them.

Before the Perlin/Vaughan golf tournament . . . which ended in a tie, again.
Sue's driver cover-how cute is this?!
Kevin's grandparent's condo on Siesta Key.
Castle on the beach . . . later to be destroyed by the kings of castleball.

Introducing Olivia Jane Jones

Congratulations to Frances and Josh on the birth of their daughter, Olivia Jane, 7lbs 7ozs. Welcome to the world!

He's out there and he's lovin' it

I think most of you have already seen these pictures, but back in March Gary lost a golf bet. The stakes? His hair. Not only did he lose, but 4 other guys lost as well.

Happy Baby Shower Allison!

On June 9th a few of us hosted a baby shower for our adorable little Allison. She is due August 20th . . . not too much longer to go . . . she is doing really well!

What would we do without our animals . . .

The lovebirds . . . they wrestle, lick each others ears, play tug of war . . . it's adorably nauseating.

Now this is really a sight to see. I couldn't capture it on camera, but all three dogs were eager to drink some water (out of the same bowl of course). However, Callie beat them to it. What's not shown in this picture are the other two dogs laying close to the bowl waiting on Callie to finish quenching her thirst. 190 pounds of dogs yield to a 7 pound cat!
Callie actually prefers to drink out of the dog's bowl . . . this is a daily occurence.

Girls Weekend in Savannahtown

Several weekends agao (I know, another delayed posting), Melinda and I went to Savannah for a little girls weekend. That Saturday morning there was a baby shower for Frances . . . who is due mid-July. Frances is literally the most beautiful pregnant person I have ever seen-she looks fabulous!

Melinda and I spent a few hours out at Tybee and continued our eating tour of Savannah . . . hitting all of our old favorite spots.

Nashville . . . Air America Reunion

Gary's Dad served in Air America . . . Civil Air Transport efforts during Vietnam. Each year the veterans have a reunion in a different city. Last year it was in DC, this year it was in Nashville.

The guys played in the golf tournament and Deirdre and I went on a tour of the Hermitage.

Gardens of Rachel Jackson, wife of Andrew.
Dinner at Sole Mio Friday night . . .
The big finale - a banquet Saturday night with a guest speaker followed by dancing. It was a really nice weekend.
