365 : WEEK 23

6/4/13 - Bought $48.00 worth of diapers for $23.00.  Yay savings...thanks to my coupon extreme friend Annie for helping me save some money!  We don't usually need disposable diapers since we use cloth diapers, but we needed some for our upcoming trip to Minnesota and we have been putting Isaac in disposables at night because he tends to get bad rashes. Ok, enough...TMI!


6/5/13 - I'm ashamed to say that this is one of two pictures I took this particular day and definitely falls into the category of "don't let you kids do those things but it's still funny to take a picture" moments!  We were playing at our weekly play group when Karis came over and said look mommy!  She had put this container on her head, it was funny and I took a picture. So trying to explain to her that we shouldn't stick things like that on our heads, yea she wasn't buying it! Haha!

6/6/13 - For some who know, Jenny had hip surgery scheduled last week to fix a tear in cartilage. The pain has been decreasing {praise the Lord} and so we cancelled the surgery. Here we are at a follow up appointment, doctor prescribed some physical therapy. But as we waited, we had to do something to keep the kids entertained! Isaac is obsessed with anything technology related and constantly wants to "face time" daddy anytime he sees my phone. 

6/7/13 - Fun night with friends from church. Half the people in this picture serve on the worship team at church {those others being family/spouses/friends of worship team members} So thankful for such a neat group of people to serve alongside at our church!

6/8/13 - {PIC 1} Hannah and Lawson came over to hang out. We did a date night swap with our neighbor's Annie and Eli and so Friday they watched our kids why we hung out with friends from church and Saturday night we watched their kids while they went out. All the kids wanted to take pictures with my camera. So Hannah took this picture of smiley Lawson and Karis...
6/8/13 - {PIC 2} Lawson's turn to take a picture of Hannah and Karis

6/9/13 - I have been waiting for my new necklace to arrive!  So on Sunday I got my Stella and Dot necklace that I had ordered with my hostess credits from the trunk show I hosted a few weeks back. So fun to have a new piece of jewelry!
6/10/13 - Grammy {AKA Jeannine, Steve's mom} is in town! She originally had planned her trip to come to help care for the children while Jenny recovered from hip surgery...BUT...since that surgery got cancelled she gets to just come and play with all her grandchildren instead!  Great way to start her retirement!

Adding to the Family!

Sitting down to write this blog post has been a long time coming (well at least 20 weeks or so!) But we are excited to announce that we are expecting our fourth child! Below, you will see some pictures highlighting parts of this pregnancy so far and also I talk about the name we have chosen for our little guy. Enjoy! I'm starting with this picture, because this little guy (left) pictured here with our son Isaac, I like to say is the reason we are having another baby, haha! Isaac has been smitten with this little one since he first held him as a baby two years ago and he began praying we would have another baby, specifically a boy! It's such a neat part of this story to me and I'm so thankful for our son's heart ( and friends who have cute kiddos!) This was taken right after we told the kids I was pregnant. We bought them a book titled "New Baby" and it took a while for them to clue in, because we have several friends that are currently pregnant...

Dear Grandma...

Image
Today is my grandmother's birthday. This is a big deal. Today she celebrates 93 full and amazing years here on earth. My grandma is a special lady (more on that in a minute) and the only grandparent I ever knew (long story for another time). I often think it's amazing that my kids get to know all four of their grandparents, and we cherish the moments when we are all together. The past couple of years have been a bit up and down for my grandma in regard to her health and honestly I hate being across the world during this time and also a bit envious when my brothers and cousins get to visit her when they are able (so all y'all give her a hug when you see her next for me!) It's never easy being apart from family, but especially when one is ill. So I write, because it's what I can do...no she's not going to be on Facebook reading the link to our blog, but I know my mom will gladly call her and read this to her. So grandma, here is my birthday present to you! Dea...

Surprise Arrival!

Image
This is a long post. But many of you have asked about the story of Milo's arrival. So I wanted to take time to write it out, details and all. But  for those who don't want to read the entire story with all the details, feel free to scroll through and just look at the pictures! A lot of you were shocked to hear of his arrival...so were we! (After all, we were still 25 days out from his due date when he made his appearance). I had just gone to my 36 week checkup two days prior, all was healthy and well with baby and with me and there were no signs of early labor. At that appointment, the doctor said that I was 1 cm dilated, but honesty I knew I could be at that for several weeks before seeing any progress to labor. I had a long list of nesting projects I had been slowly working on and was hoping to finish before Milo’s arrival.  Thursday morning rolled around, I realized I was beginning to show signs of possible labor nearing, but still wasn’t too alarmed just yet, after all...
