The Blizzard of 2009.....

Well, we had our first big snow storm of the season over the weekend! It was absolutely beautiful and gave us a MUCH needed excuse to stay home and do nothing! With all of our free time, we decided to get creative and have a pregnant belly photo shoot. Ben got really into it....and wants to be a photographer now. :) We have lots of baby stuff planned for this week....touring the hospital....meeting with a pediatrician....and we are super excited for the whole family to be here on Saturday! Can't wait to see everyone!!!

Growing by the minute.....

Well, I seriously feel as though I am getting bigger by the minute! We are at 33 weeks and are getting more and more excited! Adriel is so active these days that sometimes I am sure she is trying to push her way out of my belly! (She may have inherited my tendency to be directionally challenged....uh oh.....) We have been super blessed lately by our church community. Every day in December we have received a package of diapers by a mysterious phenomenon that we refer to as the "diaper fairy". We have also mysteriously received our stroller/car carrier combo, the crib bedding and just today - our glider/ottoman! We are constantly overwhelmed and humbled by how God provides for us and at the amazing love that we receive from our church family. Words do not suffice......

We had our first snow over the weekend! Being snowed in gave us a good excuse to decorate for Christmas and we even got a tree! The last time we got a tree was our first year of marriage when we were living in Florida and it was at least 85 degrees! We were sweating by the time we got it home.....so I was excited to experience it in the colder weather...as it should be experienced. :)


33 weeks and counting......
This is what a "bringing home the tree" picture should look like....

Just a little guy but perfect for us!
