Surprise weekend visit to Arkansas!





I had a fabulous time home with the family for Labor Day! It was so much fun surprising my parents...they were so shocked and confused! Thanks, Aunt Linda, for helping me pull it off! The girls have really grown up..it was fun spending time with them. I loved Emmie's comment, "Aunt Amanda, why is your tummy SOOO big?" and her baby name suggestion of "Harvey Ariel Corbin". Too cute! Niki, hope you enjoy the tummy pics (always love your sweet comments!)..almost 31 weeks now and feeling bigger by the minute! Still enjoying the aches and pains of pregnancy, though! Please keep Corbyn in your prayers, as I now have to resume the Monday-Wednesday-Friday doctor appointments, probably until she's born, due to the irregular heartbeat. I really want to save my time until AFTER she's born, but you do what you've gotta do, huh?!?

    What an incredible sequence of events:
    -Your mom keeps the secret of a surprise visit to Baltimore (shared by all the Smith Family) for weeks only to...
    -Be surprised by your Arkansas Visit!
    -You return home only to be surprised by your mom's attendance at your shower!
    -Neither side being able to tell the other side for weeks... and it worked! This story must be shared with Corbyn and I'm sure it will. Take good care of you mom in the CITY! Pappy
