I'm in Love

I am absolutely in love with Etsy. If you are unfamiliar with Etsy, it is a website where people sell stuff that they have made. Its similar to Ebay, except everything is handmade. Check it out at www.etsy.com. You're going to LOVE it!!!!

I found these shoes on there for baby girl, and I about started crying when I saw them! Its never too early to start start a shoe collection for my daughter....right?!?!

The Swingset

One of the last things that Mark and my Dad did together was work on Matt's Christmas present from Santa(a swingset). Dad was always there to help us any time we needed him, so putting this swingset up was a little hard for all of us. Every time I looked out the window and saw Mark working on it, I kept picturing my Dad out there helping him just as he was a few days before he passed away. It has taken awhile for us to get back into the grind of everyday living because we miss him so much. There is not a waking moment that I don't think about my Dad. Life takes on a whole new meaning when you lose someone that is so dear to you. As sad as all of these things are to us, my Dad left such a beautiful legacy. I am praying that it will last for generations to come.

12 More Weeks To Go, and Not Stressin'!!!

I am almost 28 weeks pregnant, and loving every minute of this pregnancy! This pregnancy has passed by so quickly to me (thanks to my super active 2 year old who keeps me busier than I've ever been in my whole entire life)! I've had so many people ask me questions like, "are you ready?", "do you have her nursery done?", "do you have a name picked out?", and the answer to all of these questions is a BIG.FAT."NO!" I am a totally different person with this baby than I was with Matt. I wanted everything to be perfect with him.....nursery done, clothes washed, folded, and organized.....house organized. My how things have changed! All I can say is that I want her here, and safe in my arms. That's about it. Things will eventually get done, I'm just not in a hurry for anything. I want to enjoy these last few months just me, Mark, and our little man, and then welcome baby girl into our lives with arms wide open..... things done or not!

My Angel Baby

Cleaning and Scrubbing can wait til tomorrow
For Babies grow up, we learn to our sorrow
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

Heavenly Snow

Yesterday we woke up to some of the most beautiful snow I have ever laid my eyes on! I quickly bundled up and headed out with my camera. It was so peaceful and quiet, and all I could think about was heaven. If snow looks like this here on earth, I can't imagine what snow looks like in heaven! Thank you Lord for blessing us with such beautiful, wonderful, moisture. We are so grateful!

Funnies

Two things:

Every time we get in the car, Matt says, " Wanna Watch Pooh Bear Express!" (Polar Express) For the longest time I couldn't figure out why he was saying Pooh Bear because we don't even own a Winnie the Pooh movie....then I realized he couldn't quite say "Polar."

I'm constantly monitoring my blood pressure at home, so I let Matt press the blue button to start the machine. He will say "Mommy, check Boo Pressure." (saying "blue" pressure instead of "blood" pressure....because of the blue button)

Fun in the snow AND a new camera!

Wow...what a crazy couple of days this has been. Don't get me wrong, I love snow because we need the moisture, but being homebound because of it is NOT my cup of tea! Anywho.... on Sunday we decided to brave the wind and blowing snow and let Matt frolic in it for a little bit. He had a lot of fun, and I was able to snap a few pictures with my new camera. Hope you enjoy them!
