30 weeks and PGA PGM

30 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been told that I have been "slacking" on my blogging....so here we go!! Lets see...whats been going on...first....CONGRATS TO JEREMY!! Last week he went to florida to take his last rounds of tests at the PGA education center and I am happy to announce that he has now passed the PGM (professional golf management) and will hopefully be elected to join to the PGA:) So happy for him and very excited!

We are also checking something else off of our to-do list before Dylan gets here...and thats get daddy a greencard!! We have applied and have our interview March 10th in El Paso. I think the big belly is a HUGE indication that we are legitimately in love and it's not a fraud...hahaha. So fingers crossed that goes well!!

Another update is on Mr. Dylan!!! We are now 30 weeks along...I know..we can't believe it either!!! God has definately blessed me with a smooth pregnancy so far (knock on wood!!) He is 3 lbs so far and as healthy as can be!!! So is mom!! He is still head down so that is great news and everything seems to be in the right place and functioning...sigh of relief!! Here are a few pics:

Mama's cheeks...daddys nose!!! And yes..so far..he is bald..aside from the few hairs on the back of his head...mullet in the making???

Yawn!!!! Take a note of the hand next to his face..i will explain it,...

Blowing us kisses...:)

Most of the appointment he kept that darn hand next to his face. In all of our sonograms 16, 20 and 30 weeks..he keeps that hand up. We kept asking (and possibly poking) him to move his arm....towards the end he moved it so we got excited thinking we would get a good face pic, as he did that, it was quickly replaced with his leg--foot pushing against his forehead...flexible little thing!! Then the hand came back..so this was our final picture..he was done with the paparazi and was ready for us to leave....

We are SO incredibly excited to meet this little miracle that God has blessed us with!!! It is just AMAZING to see these pictures and be able to keep up with everything!!! April cannot get here quick enough!!!! Thank you for your continued prayers!!

Babymoon

Well, Jeremy and I decided to take a mini "babymoon"....get out of town for the weekend and enjoy our last vacay before Dylan gets here--we still are a few months out but now seemed like the perfect time--i'm still feeling great and mobile!! So we decided to head to San Antonio!! Jeremy had never been and I love love love the river walk!!!

First stop was Fredricksburg!!! We ate at Hondos which came HIGHLY

recommended by a bunch of friends..ssooooo worth it!!!! Best burger ever!!!

Then we decided to walk up and down Main Street..stopped in some shops

and put our new camera to work!!! Here are some of our "photographers in training pics"

Okay...now onto San Antone!! We had a beautiful view from our hotel! Jeremy bought a tri-pod for the camera..so we decided to test it out..

6 1/2 months preggers..check out that belly:) I dont know how

some girls dont show!!!

Of course we visited the Alamo! I took Jeremy to see the IMAX

of the Alamo..and then we went and walked around...

So....they drain the river once a year...naturally..the langdales pick the ONE weekend

it is drained. Our luck..right??? FAIL #1

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!?!?! Not!

After we visited the Alamo..we had some time to waste before our

dinner reservations... Jeremy had found a listing for a place called

"The lil Aussie Bakery and Cafe" ...he was soooo excited to go there. A little

taste of home...so after struggling with our navagation..we finally made it there..

it was a little hidden place..on the sign was the outline of Australia and a kangaroo..

naturally..one would think with a name like that and advertisement like that..it would

have traditional Aussie favorites.....Poor Jeremy was like a let down kid on Christmas when

we entered...there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AUSTRALLIAN ABOUT IT!! (aside from

a poster on the wall). They made all gluten free stuff...none of which was an Australlian specialty...So we walked out..FAIL #2


We ate at the Charterhouse(I think was the name) on top of the Tower of Americas...it

is a "needle in the sky" structure that rotates around so you get the full 360 view of

San Antonio...sooo beautiful!!!

Here was our view...

I was here back in May for a dear friends Bachelorette party...the next day we had lunch plans

to eat here...1) the quote from the bride to be "ummm i'm afraid of heights" 2) the idea of a spinning resturaunt after a girls night just didnt seem to sound great...

So needless to say..this experience with my honey was soooooo much better!!!

How beautiful!!!

A last little bit about our adventure...we found out that they were holding an Opera Conference

at our hotel....so one morning Jeremy had a quote that still makes me giggle...

"I think that is the first time that i have used the toilet in the morning and heard opear singing, definately a different experience." FAIL #3

All in all thought we had a very nice, relaxing getaway. Jeremy and I both like to make the

best of things and go with the flow. We loved getting out and having a romantic "us" weekend!!!

No more No No

I contemplated writing this blog. Where do I begin? How do I start? This blog was set up for the purpose of enjoying our journey as a family, so of course with all good news in life, sometimes there are times of sorrow. My grandfather passed away. Was it a shock? Not in the least. But does it still bring a tickle to my nose and tears in eyes when I think about it--absolutely. Death is never easy to take, even if it has been a long time coming. One thing to explain about my grandfather---the best way to sum it up--he was an obnoxious twit. I know I know I know..everyone out there gasped a little..but up in heaven he is chuckling a bit at that statement, and I say that in a loving way. He would have fit in PERFECTLY with Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men. He soooo would have put a fish in the back of someones car..just to get a little laugh at the poor sucker who woke up the next morning to get in and have a horrible smell. He was a jokester. There are tons and tons and tons of stories that I could saturate my blog with--but I will spare you. In every "prank" there was a always a lesson to be learned. I remember as a kid he stuck us outside while babysitting us..in the freezing cold..with a stick in hand, a bag in the other...and our objective: To catch a snipe....now I know I am not the only one who was suckered into this. Look up hunt>snipe. Wikipedia will give you an indepth look at what is known as the "fools errand". Anywho...my cousins and I were outside, looking for some kind of creature that would "glow" and we would need to touch it with our stick, it would roll up like a rolly polly..then we push it into our bag. Unfortunately, after what seemed like forever of teeth chattering, blue lips and a frozen runny nose...we all failed and came back empty handed. Now given, one purpose of this was to keep us entertained while the adults had "adult time"...but I also remember--after thawing out--having a chat with my grandfather. He explained that we dont always find what we are looking for, but it's when we are not looking--thats when we find what we need--not what we want--but what we need. That always stuck with me. Even thought I will NEVER find one of those darn snipes..hahahaha. There are plenty of stories that we have heard over the years that kind of makes you think "omigosh..did he REALLY do that??"..and undoubtedly the answer would be yes. But I loved him regardless..all his ornery tendencies..he was full of love and life lessons.

Why the title??? When my cousin was starting to talk...my grandfather made quite the impression on her. She named him Grandpa No No...and it stuck. It was perfect. One thing that is so remarkable and makes his passing easier: he died with Jesus in his heart. That was a long, bumpy road. He was religious and at some point in his life he and God went crossways and that was that. It took him being on his death bed to come around. I do believe that God knows you cannot simply talk the talk but must walk the walk---any time in your life. He always had it hidden in his heart, but he truly confessed it from his death bed and FINALLY let all of those walls come down. So I am not sad, i'm thrilled that he is up in Heaven, out of pain, enjoying everything with my grandmother again!
