Has it really been two months?

I can't believe it has been two months since my last post! It has been a busy summer! I am feeling extra pregnant (is there such a thing?) with this baby. I have been super uncomfortable and tired. I am sure chasing Lucy around has something to do with it. We almost have Millie's room finished and I cannot wait to have her in my arms on 10/26! Here are some recent pictures of our family.

Her first day of school. She LOVES Little Einstein's and carries this lunchbox everywhere.


Lucy loves to get fancy. Purple is her favorite color and she always asks to wear a dress.


Here I am at 31 weeks. We had a nice visit with John's parents Labor Day weekend.




Her sweet smile melts me!



Lucy had an amazing time at her friend Ally's gymnastics birthday party. Ally turned five and Lucy was the youngest at the party but she hung in there with the big girls. She LOVES to jump and had never seen a full-size trampoline. She was in heaven.

Babysitter Lucy

We had the pleasure of helping out a dear friend a couple of weeks ago by watching her little ones. Lucy had a blast hanging out with a big kid and a sweet baby girl! She is going to be a great big sister!

Chef Lucy

We tried making homemade pizza last week. Lucy had a blast and it tasted pretty good!

Oh Sister!

After three devastating miscarriages last year we are so thrilled to announce...

LUCY IS HAVING A BABY SISTER!!

Our sweet blessing is due to arrive just in time for Halloween. We are amazed and humbled that God has allowed us to grow our family. I am reduced to tears nearly every time I feel my sweet daughter move within me. Please continue to pray for us!


Lucy's first reaction to the news there would be another girl around was, "No! Baby brother!" She has warmed up to the idea and now thinks every little baby girl is HER baby sister. She will also proudly lift her shirt to show anyone the baby in HER tummy.

"Swimmin' in da pool"

Lucy has been begging to swim in "da pool" lately. I bought our first little plastic pool last week. She had her first experience in it this afternoon and had a blast!
