Better

Tanner felt good enough to hold the baby today, so we're doing so much better. I love him for being so amazing for her. Thank you everyone for keeping us in your prayers :) We are so blessed.

  Happy Birthday to our sweet Julian!

I am grateful for a little boy who gets excited over little things (like chocolate ice cream with sprinkles), when he could have complained that no birthday cake was served.

Today has been hard. The boys are sick, and we're feeling tired and stressed as we try to keep the baby safe. It's nice to have our Julian around to cheer us up on his birthday :)

April 20th

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday, Liam and River,

Happy birthday to two.

Jules

Tanner snapped these pictures of Julian on Sunday, and they were a little too cute not to share.

If you think the pics are cute, you should hear this little boy's voice and the things he says. For example, this morning he told us he uses Tanner's towel to dry his hands because his towel hurts. Does it make sense? No, but it's so cute we'll take it and not ask another question!

Almost TIme

I haven't posted hardly any pregnancy pictures. I feel like a walking spectacle here. Everyone is quite alarmed by my belly's shape, and the fact that I wasn't due yesterday :)

With the due date coming close I ordered some yarn and a crochet pattern a couple weeks ago for a blessing dress. I was really hoping I might be able to figure it out, and gratefully I did :)

I can't wait to put the baby in it :)

With the baby shower, blessing dress, and just overall excitement for a baby girl we are getting pretty anxious! Just two and a half weeks left!

My Other Family

The sisters and friends from church threw me a baby shower. It was so much fun. I am so blessed to be by these strong women who take care of me like my own family would if they were close by. I was so overwhelmed and grateful. I love them all so much!

Liam's Drum Skills

Liam's school had a little talent show, so we packed up his drums to show off his skills. Pretty good for a kindergartner don't you think?
