The Sweet Little One

I had my ultrasound 2 weeks ago. Actually, on our 10 year anniversary! This was a great way to spend our evening together...gazing at our sweet baby! Everything looks beautiful! We didn't peek...even though it was so tempting! I'm feeling great and looking forward to welcoming this little one into our new home.

How stinkin' cute is that foot? One inch long...oh my...

(these are iphone pics of the pic so the quality isn't great but you get the idea!)

merry christmas from the boys

Merry Christmas!

christmas has come to our house!

This sweet boy...

Jay loves to write. And draw. And write little notes. And "lists" (filled with text, pictures, and check marks). I love it!
So the other night I was on the bottom bunk with Tyler and Hunter getting them to sleep and Jay was on the top bunk...supposed to be sleeping. I'm laying there thinking about my little sweets and I hear a paper come down between the wall and the bed. I take it and it's a note from Jay that says:

I <3 U mom
love Jay

My little heart melted. So I stuck my hand up to him and held it for a minute until he let go. A few minutes later, another note.
This one says:

I <3 U mom
I <3 U dad
I <3 U Tyler
I <3 U Hunter

Too sweet! So Tyler and Hunter finally fall asleep and I write him a note that says:

I <3 Jay. You are a sweet boy.
Love, Mommy

He reads it and smiles and tells me to wait because he's going to write me a note. He finishes and hands it to me and it says:

I <3 Mom. You are a sweet.
Love Jay

Then he tells me that he didn't say "boy" since I am a girl. Oh my, I love that boy....

Brotherly Love.

Alive and Kicking!

Things have been wild and crazy around here the last few months. There has truly not been a dull moment. Here's are the key points:

• WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY! Part of the blogging silence has been due to awful morning sickness. I'm in week 13 now and feeling like life may go on and I will not die. That's a good feeling!
• Tyler broke his collar bone 2 weeks ago after falling off the play ground.
• We moved into our house! (before and after pics to come) There's still a lot of work to be done but I am so happy to finally be living in my house!
• Unpacking
  
• Tyler has an inguinal hernia that will need to be surgically repaired. It's not really a big deal (if surgery on a 2 year old can be "no big deal") It's a minor, routine procedure. We are hoping to schedule it March.
• More unpacking and organizing
• Homeschooling. Which mostly consists of reading lots of books, playing outside, and learning through everyday living.
  
• Jay started choir at the First Baptist Church! He loves it and just thinks he is so big and important (and he's right!)
• Hunter is growing like a weed! I think he gets bigger every morning. He is just so sweet and kind to all of us. There is the occasional food meltdown but that's to be expected every now and then.
• Tyler will be 2 on Monday. Where has the time gone?
• And more unpacking and organizing.
  

I hope to one day have a post that does not have to be an update but just a sweet post about every day life in our home. That seems a little ambitious at this point though! =)
