Got to keep hydrated!

On Monday nights I play softball on my Sunday school class' team in our church league. Here is a couple pictures of Paige this past Monday enjoying the action. It was easy for Ava to keep up with her...Paige was carrying her sippy cup upside down and leaving a trail of water behind her.

Home Improvements

This past weekend I had a friend from my Sunday school class come over and help me install some recessed lights in on bonus room. The finished product looks real good and we are very happy with it. I'll try to get a picture of the end result out here soon...but for now, here are 2 shots of be cutting out the holes where the lights will go.

Backlog of pictures

With all the baby news lately, we have fallen behind on regualr pictures. So here is a slew of pics from the past couple months. To start off, here is Paige showing off her 4th of July outfit with Mommy.

Next we have a few shots taken at Ava's nephew's wedding in Brunswick, GA.

On that same trip to GA, we stopped in to see Grandma McDonald.

A few weeks later we made another trip over to Georgia and got to visit with the Ogdens, McDonalds, and Troyers. As well as Paige getting to ride her first tractor!

And finally here are just two other pictures. One is of Piage in her new dress all ready for church and the other is at a pool party. Paige wasn't too sure about the water at first.

Say Cheese!

We've had plenty people request it...so here it is. The first picture of the newest member of the family.

New Addition

In case youhaven't noticed the new ticker on the top of our page here, we are expecting a new arrival. We found out that Ava was pregnant a few weeks ago, and we couldn't be happier. We have already seen the doctor and had an ultrasound done; I will try to get a picture of that up here soon. Ava's due date is March 11th. It will be here before we know it.

The Lowry's have gone Simpson!

I've changed out our family photo on the left hand side of the page with a new one I put together. In case it's too hard to see, thought I would post a bigger version here.

We are very excited about the possibilities that this opportunity may have for Ava and our family. We have decided to place our faith in God to see us through this new adventure. If you would like to order something from Ava, here is the link to her consultant page:

A few pictures from my cell phone

I finally decided to get some of the pictures on my cell phone downloaded. So here are some random shots we've collected of late.

More Birthday Action

Yum...Birthday Cake!

Here are a few shots of Paige with her first birthday cake. She didn't tear into it like some kids do...but she definitely got her money's worth and made a nice mess for Mommy and Daddy to clean up.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Today is Paige's first birthday, and I think Ava and I are much more excited about this than Paige is, of course. We are going to have a little party tonight at our house with some friends from church. Then this weekend we will see my parents and have a small party with them. And then in the middle of July we will go down and visit some of Ava's family and have another party. So my this time next month, Paige will of had 3 party's and more than enough cake, ice cream, and presents.

I'm sure we will take lots of pictures and try to video most of the party tonight. Once we have them on the computer, I will try and get some posted out here. So please check back soon.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's day to all the Dad's out there. This was of course my first one, and Ava and Paige did their best to make it a special one. Ava found out and arranged for us to go to an Exotic Italian Car show on Father's Day afternoon. We got to see all types of cool cars...Lamborghini, Porsche, Fiat, Aston Martin, Maserati, Lotus, etc... Even though this was meant for me, I think Ava really ended up enjoying it herself.
