The McLain's

Our journey began October 2005 when we met in our Single's class at Prestonwood Baptist Church. We were engaged in June 2006 and were married on November 17, 2006. JP works for ROMCO as a Product Support Sales Manager and I will begin teaching part-time for the Dallas International School in August 2011. We have one little boy, Merit Cross. God has truly blessed our family.

4 Year Check-Up

 
What a big boy! He really enjoyed this check up until we got to the part with the shots. That was pretty traumatic for him. Then to top it off, the nurse sent us upstairs for lab work. I have never heard of a 4 year old needing lab work done. Anyway, he was very glad when it was over and we went straight to Sonic for a treat; a chocolate shake. We then stopped at Walmart and I let him pick out something special for doing such a great job; he chose Dusty the airplane from the movie Planes.

Birthday Shopping with Mommy & Daddy

JP took the day off on Friday and I met he and Merit and Toys 'R' Us for some birthday shopping. Merit received birthday money from Grandma and Pimpa and he couldn't wait to spend it. He picked out Megatron, the Transformer. This shopping trip was a great way to start his birthday weekend!

Baseball Bean Bag

I ordered Merit a baseball bean bag as part of his birthday. We took all of the beans out and replaced them with his stuffed animal collection. He has accumulated quite a lot and this bean bag will be their new home. Thanks to Alicia for this great idea! Merit really loves lounging on it and so does Cali!

September Cars & Coffee

Merit and I always enjoy meeting JP at Cars and Coffee. He gets there really early and we get there at a bit more reasonable time; usually around 8:30. Merit wanted a picture in front of his favorite car and I think he might be flexing his muscles in this pic. :) After Cars & Coffee we all went to breakfast at one of our favorite spots. It's become one of our favorite family traditions.
