October

I promise now that our life has slowed down a little bit I will be better at blogging. Last month went by so fast! It seems like this year has just flown by. We started out the month with a baby that could only roll over once and now she is a pro at rolling. The first part of the month wasn't too eventful...just the same old routine with Alexis.  Greg is in school and working full time so we don't get to go on many adventures.  I keep reminding myself that one day school will be over and I will miss it. We did however get a surprise visit from Aunt Ashley! We sure do miss her and wish she lived closer.

Every October we go up to the cabin for the annual deer hunt.  This year we arrived to SNOW! I'm not sure if I'm ready for winter just yet, but the snow sure did make everything look so much prettier.  We had a fun time visiting and relaxing with Kristin's family.  It was nice to get away even if our hunters didn't get any deer :)

This year for Halloween Alexis and Greg dressed up as Darth Vader and Leia.  I think they looked great.  Greg had bought their costumes in August, Alexis' costume was a little big so I had to alter it a little but I think it looked pretty good. Alexis only made it about two blocks before she was done with her stroller and ready to go home.  Kristin threw a really fun Halloween party.  We always enjoy spending time with our cousins!

Hopefully it won't take me four months to blog again!

She is here!

Almost there...

We officially have one more month until we get to see our baby girl, that is if she comes right on time.  I think we are pretty much as ready as we are going to get.  We have all the essentials, diapers, crib, changing table and a bunch of other things as well.  Let's just say this will be one of the best dressed little girls out there.  I just can't help myself, buying baby girl clothing is addicting.  As I'm getting near the end, I'm getting a little nervous, but mostly excited.  I keep picturing the way she will look and I can't wait.
It has been a little bitter sweet however, I will be leaving my job.  I have to say I work with some of the most amazing people who have become really good friends of mine. I know we will keep in touch though, and I get the opportunity to stay home and see my little girl every minute of the day.
Hopefully, one month from now there will be pictures on here of one adorable little baby!

Our family is GROWING!!

We are excited to announce that our family will be getting larger! I found out in November I was pregnant. And just today we found out that we are having a baby girl. We are so excited we can't stand it. We are so grateful that Heavenly Father has trusted us with this responsibility. I can't wait to hold and snuggle with our little one. My due date is July 6th. I have to admit I am a little nervous, but mostly excited. Greg is so cute he has been doing his homework, checking all review websites for anything from our car seat to the crib making sure that they are the best and safest possible! We will keep posting as our adventure continues.
