Steve and Jenny Valentine

These pictures seem to be long overdue, but we took them just a week and half before Olivia was born and I never had time to post them!  Thanks to my sister in law, Lauren Valentine, for taking such adorable pictures of my pregnancy with Olivia.  There's also a couple cute shots she captured of Karis and Isaac too! This one may seem random, but I'm sitting under a "baby" Olive Tree. And since Olivia's name means Olive Tree, it seemed fitting!

WEEK 50 12/10/13 - Coffee and a big cinnamon roll, Jenny very much enjoyed these by herself while some sweet friends took Karis and Isaac to Disney world for the day.  Yea it would have been fun to be with them, but it was a blast to have some alone time as well!  After some much needed quiet time, Jenny proceeded to shampooing the carpet. Yea that wasn't so relaxing, but we have clean carpets now and it was much easier to do without little tots under foot. 12/11/13 - Karis is a great helper and it was so fun to make our first sugar cookies of the Christmas season together.  She likes to help with everything and so it was especially enjoyable to teach her how to do something new.  We've come a long way from a couple years ago when she screamed her head off when we tried to get her to push the cookie cutter into the dough ;) 12/12/13 - Daddy left this day to go out of town for a few days and the kids are especially snuggly with him before and after he re...

10/15/13 - This was on the airplane on our way home from Europe. This flight seemed so much longer than the one going there, but we were thankful to be home with our kiddos! 10/16/13 - We found out today that we are having another baby girl! We are thrilled to welcome another little girly into the family. Steve bought these flowers to celebrate the occasion! Baby girl's name to be determined... 10/17/13 - Bob (Steve's dad) did many projects for us while we were away and they were here watching the kiddos.  Bob likes to have a list of things we need done around the house whenever he comes into town, and I like that he is that way!  One thing he did was hang up Steve's old tie rack (seeing as Steve doesn't wear ties much these days, this rack wasn't being used)...so I wanted to use it for something...and I decided I could use it for scarves and necklaces. Although I haven't fully adorned it with all the scarves and necklaces (and somehow one of Karis...

This should wrap up my marathon posting for today, enjoy weeks 40 and 41 in pictures... WEEK 40: 10/1/13 - Sure it's October 1st...who doesn't pull out the Nativity set and play with it?! 10/2/13 - park play time with friends Piper and Cannon 10/3/13 - One happy couple! We had the opportunity to drive to Destin, Florida to celebrate with Brooke and Matt as they married on Friday. 10/4/13 - Steve officiated Matt and Brooke's wedding on the beach, very beautiful! 10/5/13 - on our drive home from Destin, we stopped by Seaside, Florida - where we honeymooned just over 5 years ago, fun to be back there even just to drive through! 10/6/13 - 18 weeks pregnant and growing! 10/7/13 - We had the opportunity to fly and visit Poland. Always enjoyable to be bumped up to start off the trip in first class (thanks to Steve's many, many miles he travels for work!) WEEK 41: 10/8/13 - Arrived safely in Poznan, Poland and hi...
