She is coming soon....

Just wanted to let everyone know, that we will be going in to be induced on Wed., Feb 27th at 6:00 in the morning. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we start a new journey with our family. Please pray for a safe delivery and a healthy little girl and please also pray for Joshua and Aby as they adjust to having a little one in the house. We are so excited to become a family of five!

We will continue to make updates as the days go on and will post pictures as soon as we get a chance.

The Belly

It has been awhile since I have posted anything about our little girl. All of my doctor's appointments have gone well and our little one is doing great. I am SO ready to have her, hold her, kiss her, and see her pretty eyes. I have hit the point in the pregnancy where I am very uncomfortable and am having a harder time getting around and it is pretty obvious that she is running out of room. I am trying to remain patient and wait for the Lord's perfect timing for bringing her into this world. I can't wait!!

Pictures of her nursery will be posted soon...it is so precious and I can't wait to watch her sleep in her sweet crib.

Here are some pics of the enormous belly:

Joshua's Valentine's Day Program

Yesterday was Joshua's Valentine's Day program at school. Joshua was hilarious, so much more confindent than last year. You could tell he was just having a good time. We are so proud of him!!

After the program, while Joshua was in school...Brandon, Aby, and I went to our favorite cookie store called "Sweet Dreams" for a little Valentine's treat.

Here are the pics:

Double Date with the Estes

A couple of weekends ago, Brandon and I were able to go out on a double date with our sweet friends Nathan and Monica. We ate some yummy Italian food and spent dinner talking from everything serious to laughing hysterically to the point of crying. After dinner we headed for the bowling lanes...where an 8-month pregnant woman bowled the best score...that's right I bowled a 143, my highest ever! I think my enormous belly balanced me out. We had such a great time with the Estes and were so thankful for the time we were able to spend together!

Thank You, Lord!!

Last week, we had some terrible storms come through our area. Many places in TN were devastated by tornadoes. Brandon and I are so thankful for the Lord's protection during this time. The storm that came through at 2:00 in the morning was being predicted to directly hit Franklin. So after some time spent in our safe place with the kids, the news said we were safe...the storm decided to go just northwest of Franklin. Thank you, Lord!

This is the worst we have ever seen since living in TN. We spend at least two storms a year in our safe place, but there was just something a little more nerve-racking about this storm. Thank so much for your protection, Lord!! Please keep those devastated by these storms in your prayers.

Here is a picture of the kids and me at 2:00am in our safe place…we all look a little tired:

Daddy Time

I have to say I LOVE watching the kids play with their Daddy. They always have the biggest smiles on their faces. Daddy is most definetely their favorite playmate. On this day, while Joshua was at school I was able to take some pics of Daddy and Aby...it was precious. This is one of the perks of Daddy working from home, especially when he takes little breaks.

The Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus

A couple weekends ago, my sweet husband surprised the kids and me with tickets to "the best show on earth." We had so much fun together as a family. The kids were amazed by everything the circus had to offer, but they especially liked the popcorn. Just watching Joshua and Aby experience the circus for the first time brought back a rush of memories. Here are some pics:
