It's a Boy!!!

OH BOY!! It's another boy for the Coates' Family. There is no doubt if you take a close look at the pictures.

We had our ultrasound today and we were so happy that it found everything to be progressing normally and that the baby looked healthy. I can't wait to see what he looks like!

C #3

We are expecting again! C#3 should make it's debut on July 30th, 31st or August 1st. Grady made such a quick arrival, they have decided to induce me a week early so that we can make sure that we arrive at the hospital before the baby is born. :) I think with two other children, the ability to plan will be nice. These are 3D shots taken on January 15th. Griffin is hoping for a boy and Grady for a girl. Mom and Dad will take healthy and happy whatever he or she may be.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures.

In attempt to appease my mother, we had pictures taken. I really thought we would show up and the kids would sit there and smile and then we would go home. My children had other plans. At the end of the session, I was ready to rid myself of my two little monkeys. Were they bad? They weren't bad but they were silly to the point that it was hard to accomplish taking pictures. For example, the photographer would pose the boys with their arms around one another then she would turn around to pick up her camera. In the 20 seconds that her back would be turned, Grady would take down his brother. I guess his thinking was that his arms were already around Griffin, why not go ahead and take him out? They could not be touching one another without tackling. It was exhausting. The photographer just wasn't quick enough or witty enough for my boys. After all was said and done, we did end up with a few poses that turned out great. I thought I would share them.

Merry Christmas!

May the year ahead bring peace, good health, and much happiness to you and yours.
Love Always-
Damon, Michelle, Griffin & Grady

Why I live here......

Besides being in the mountains, you really can't beat Kentucky in the fall. This is truly one of those cities where you get to experience all four seasons. Fall is really beautiful here and the weather is usually just right, so you can get outside and enjoy the view. These pictures were taken in our backyard and on our street.
