Details

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and comments! We are so excited. The kids are dying to see the baby already. Nate is hoping it comes on Friday. It is going to be a long six months! We are due September 12. My sister in law and I both announced to our families on Sunday. We are due 3 days apart. It will be fun having cousins close. I am feeling great, and go in for my first official appointment next week. So I will keep you all updated.

New Pictures

I called my friend Leslie on the last minute possible, and she happily agreed to do a family photo shoot for us. It turned out amazing. I have never been a big fan of my own pictures, and I have to say that I can't stop looking at these. I absolutely love them all, and cannot choose a favorite. If you would like to see the rest of our pictures, and some more of her fantastic work, please check out her blog. foreverphotographybyleslie.blogspot.com Thank you so much for taking our pictures Leslie, I will love them forever!

Johnny & Mysha

My little brother got married this last weekend. It was very nice. It took place in Morgan, and we enjoyed staying a hotel with the kids and relaxing for the weekend. Here is all the handsome Brother-in Laws and Brothers on my side. (I guess my dad is in there too!)
Here is Johnny and Mysha walking down the aisle after becoming Mr. and Mrs. Harold! That one was weird for me, this is the first sister-in-law, and hearing my maiden name is now someones married name threw me off a little. But I couldn't be more excited. We love Mysha, and she will be a great addition to our family!
Here is my brothers Michael and James, the best man and the ring bearer.
I had to sneak in a picture of me, because one...they rarely happen, and two...I had to show off my new hairstyle. I had it dyed and cut this weekend, and I am really liking it.
This is where we found Nate, helping himself to the cake. It was a very cute cake...their colors were turquoise and pink.
Someone got their car, wish it was me, but someone else found it first. They did a great job too! Congratulations Johnny and Mysha!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas. The kids were so cute, they woke up and then tried to wake up Leah. She wasn't quite ready. We knew she had gotten up, but she hadn't joined us by the tree so Rich went looking for her. He found her in the hall leaning against the wall, still asleep. As soon as she realized there were gifts she found her energy.
These giant boxes are the kids' pillow pets from my friend, Jolene. They are treasures around here. We sleep on them every night and then haul them around all day!




Here is the aftermath. All Abby really asked for was a banana chair, and thankfully Santa came through for us.
