Spring Has Arrived

We are so happy Spring is finally here!  With Spring comes pollen and we have definitely felt the pollen.  Our allergies have all acted up but that has not stopped us from being outside nonstop, something Miss Libby LOVES!  She could live outdoors and we basically do.  These were taken outside while the Masters played inside on the tv - Sunday Masters, one of Matt's favorite days of the  year!

If we ask Libby where her baby sister is (sissy) she lifts up her shirt and points to her belly. 

We saw this house and had to get it for Libby.  She LOVES it so much!  Matt put it together in a few days, we had to dig a hole, add rocks, sand, and woodchips.  The house is adorable and we're eating outside and just enjoying being outdoors!

I am 35 weeks pregnant. HOW did that happen??  Feeling really good - just getting crowded inside now.  I don't remember feeling this tired with Libby, but then again, when I was pregnant with Libby I could just go home and eat m&ms and lay on the couch watching SATC reruns, and now after work I'm playing with Libs.  Not complaining at all, but I can honestly say we do not sit down until she goes to bed after 8 PM! She is a busy busy bee, and she makes us laugh. 


Only four more weeks of our family of three.  Blessings abound.

How to Cure Libby's Virus?

So I did what every mom does with their 21 month old daughter, we went for manis and pedis.  The ladies love Libby.  She picks out her color, no joke, right when we walk in. She knows what to do.  She literally rides past the nail salon and holds her hands up and says "Nice" - and then looks at her toes.  I have created a precious little monster, but it's times like these that I absolutely cherish and adore!  Sweet girl time that I look forward to having for the next fifty or more years with my little baby girl, soon to be GIRLS!!

Easter Sunday, 2010

We had a great Easter this year, hope everyone else did too.  Libby and I had gotten in from SSI Saturday night, after 10 PM since we had gone home to spend some awesome time with the family and celebrating Baby Jackson's birthday weekend. So much fun!

On Easter Sunday Libby and I slept in until 9 AM and had to rush to get to church.  It was a really neat outdoor service that was held on the lawn, with a brunch, singing and crafts for the children.  Very different and we enjoyed it as we were able to sing and play too! 

Then we headed home for our Easter lunch that Matt made, and it was just delicious!  While he was cooking Libby and I went to the park for a little while - it was SO hot outside.   Libby loves the park, and she loves swinging on her belly now.  It's adorable. I had to put her dress up with my rubber band. :)

We had a great day, took a very long nap and then walked to the park late afternoon for a little while, then home for leftovers.  All in all, a wonderful day with the three (almost four) of us.  Love you all!

JACKSON IS BORN!

Jackson was born at 10:19 AM on April 1, 2010. He is such a blessing and we are all in love with him. So thankful to God for a healthy baby boy to add to our family! He is sooo precious! Melissa is an amazing mom already, it is coming so naturally to her. She just loves little "Jacks" so much (Libby calls him Jacks). So cute. Libby did NOT like it when I held him, not one little bit. She cried and said, No, Mine. I'm a little nervous about how a baby sister in the house is going to affect her. I am just praying so hard for her to be ok. I know she will be, but it's going to be a big adjustment. We are really happy for Melissa and Brad - and we are just loving little Jacks so much. Congratulations my littlest Sissy!!
