Married with Child

Joshua and Tory married on January 22nd, 2010. The marriage was preformed by a friend of ours at church who is a prison chaplin. It was just the three of them plus another friend from church who snuck in to take a few pictures. She took them for a photo shoot at a local park after the ceremony. I'm still waiting for my cd of the photos but I'll be mailing you some soon.

Nathan Christopher Wingard was born March 12, 2010 at 12:05 am by C-section. He weighed in at 7 lb. 6 oz and was 18 inches long. He spent two days under a lamp at the hospital because they thought he might be jaundice. He is a doll. I usually get to hold and tend him for a couple hours a day to give Tory a chance to shower and do other things. He seems to be a bit of a night owl, although we don't hear him. We are all smitten with him.

A date is set

Josh informed me yesterday that there plan is to buy their marriage license on January 15. We are giving them a baby shower on the 16th. They plan to get married on January 22nd. I've spent the day sorting, purging and reorganizing to make room for Tory and the baby. Josh and Tory have spent her 18th birthday (today) packing up her room. Things are happening fast here, I'll have a daughter in law in two weeks and a grand son in about 8 weeks.

Oh yeah, they've settled on Nathan for a first name and possibly Scott for the middle name. Nathan Scott Wingard.... sounds nice to me.

Engagement

Josh proposed to Tory on Christmas Eve. He took her to Galveston to celebrate their one year anniversary. ;) They went to Moody Gardens to a dinner show. She said Yes, though Josh said she paused a bit longer than he expected and it made him a bit uncomfortable. As they walked back to his truck she told him she was thinking about saying NO just to psych him out. That's a girl with a personality. Good thing, she'll need one to be apart of this crazy family of boys. So, I'm finally getting the daughter I've always wanted and I couldn't ask for a better one.
