What We've Been Up To...

Is our child the only one that likes to sleep with weird things?? She begged to sleep with the balloons on Christmas night and we let her until she fell asleep. She also likes to sleep with certain books, baby dolls, her juice cup, food from her kitchen and the list goes on and on.

 Playing with her kitchen....it's more fun after bath time when your naked!

The girl LOVES her books. ALL of them.

We had to purchase this Barney balloon while we were on the grocery trip from hell. Ughhh...it was one of THOSE days. Too many tantrums to count, had to open every item I put in the cart, people staring like I was THAT crazy mom. It could not have gotten any worse!

Yep, I celebrated the big 3-0! Yikes...it's one of those numbers you never thought you would actually get to. I'm there and telling myself that 30 is the new 20.

I think she must be practicing for Ford's arrival. Hope the babies don't mind sharing the swing with him.

We had a guest at the lunch table the other day. Abby Cadabby was served macaroni and cheese.

Olivia's First Haircut

Is it possible that Olivia already needs a haircut??? I really wasn't in denial until I got in the chair with her and the lady cutting her hair got out an envelope to put her baby hair in. Baby hair??? Oh my goodness, they are cutting off the precious hair she was born with! I was all the sudden overcome with sadness that before I blink my eyes twice she will be 16 and driving or going off to college. Is it selfish to pray that God would just slow down time??? If life had a pause or slow motion button, I would be pushing it right now!

On the other hand, Olivia did such a good job. I just knew she would have a screaming fit much like she did the first time at the dentist. She proved me wrong. She shed no tears and was a perfect BIG girl. She got her sucker after it was all over with, said thank you and we were on our way. All I have to say is....KAIROS!

Belly Shot

We are now 32 weeks pregnant with Ford. I am still a little shocked that we are going to have a baby boy. It has helped now that the nursery has touches of blue and there's a closet full of little boy clothes.

This pregnancy was very different from Olivia's at the beginning seeing that I got sick this time but as time has progressed it has been pretty uneventful and a lot like the first go around. Besides a little lower back pain and a couple of feet up in my rib cage, things have been great. I just pray the rest of the time is much of the same and labor and delivery is similar to Olivia's. We can't wait to meet him and kiss his little cheeks. We are officially on the countdown....Eeeek! That's frightening!

Geaux Saints!!

We were able to go to the Saints/Lions playoffs game last Saturday. It was so much fun and most likely, the last home game of the season. Sad to see football season come to an end. What do y'all think??? Are we Superbowl bound??!! I think so......

New Years

New Years was a lot of fun this year. It was very low key which is exactly what we needed seeing that our world is about to be very hectic. Olivia stayed with her Nano and Pops and we rented a cabin with the Bakers and Gurners near Pickwick Lake. We relaxed, slept in, played games, watched movies and rang in the new year. Exactly what we all needed and we were sad to go home.

Sad, sad but this is the ONLY picture I took the entire weekend. How pitiful. I don't even think I actually took this one. I guess when you are having fun the camera is just forgotten.



 The boys didn't want to drive home so they got stuck in the back seat with Olivia and all of our stuff. It was kinda funny, I think Olivia had more room in her car seat than they did. Good grief...surely we don't need to already upgrade to something bigger because we don't have enough room???
