Since I have not been my crazy, facebook-addicted self, I have not updated many of you on us. Life is just as I stated above....moving along at 100mph. The boys are growing up so fast. Here is what's up with us:
Liam: Our little Liam is becoming a big guy. He is currently doing WONDERFUL with his potty training. The occasional accident happens, but over all he is doing great! He is still in LOVE with his choo choo trains and building castles with blocks. I can't get him interested in drawing or coloring. He just loves building and working with his hands. Future engineer maybe? He will be 3 in June and is SO excited about his birthday being right around the corner.
Noah: Noah...Noah is Noah. haha! He is our VERY active 17 month old that can turn a house inside-out and upside-down before you turn around. I wish I had more to report about him, but really...it is plain and simple... he lives to love life!
Brad: Brad is busy as ever! The choir director position at St. Pauls keeps him so busy this time of year. He loves it though. He also just accepted a position at St Adelberts in Dayton (yes Brad...I probably spelled that wrong. DEAL!) He is playing the organ and singing there on Sunday mornings at 8:30am. So, our Sunday mornings are very hectic but it is all over and family time can start after 12:15pm. Brad tends to keep a busy life....but enjoys it.
Abby/Amelia: I guess Amelia and I come as a package right now. I am doing SO great! This has been the absolute EASIEST pregnancy yet! (and yes....I said YET! Haters...deal!) I am almost 34 weeks and am ready to say hello to my little princess and goodbye to the horrible heartburn at 2am. My cousin threw me a PINK shower this past weekend which was so enjoyable. Brad was very excited to see all of the pink clothes we were blessed to receive for Amelia. She is going to be one stylish, little lady. We are kind of on pins and needles about when she is going to make her appearance. The boys were born 3 and 4 weeks early, so I guess we will just be ready in about 2 weeks. The Family Beginnings unit at Miami Valley requires you to be 37 weeks, so we want to play it easy these next few weeks. I can't wait to announce her arrival! Stay posted.
We have been meaning to hang the gutter bookshelves for weeks (in the boys room) and FINALLY....they are UP!!! And....seriously....they are adorable! If you are considering it .... do it!
We could not be happier with the shelves and what they added to their room!
Warning about shelves though.....online, people say they cost about $30 to do. False false false!
I even purchased the least expensive materials and it was..eek...about $75 to do.
Totally worth it still, but I don't want any of you misled like me.
And trust me, ladies, if you tell your husband 'it's a cheap project!!!' then go to Lowe's and get the total....
their face turns a little white. lol

Last week, we took Noah for his first haircut with Susan. He did not do TOO bad, but wasn't relaxed and perfect by any means. It is hard for a busy boy to sit down for an extended period of time. :)
Noah before his haircut. I just love how he decided to wear his hat. |
Big buy! |
We went to the mall and, no joke, the child ran STRAIGHT to this Victoria's Secret window. Such a guy! lol |
NOW for the haircut.....
He wasn't sure what the heck was going on! |
Uh....get me OUT of HERE!!!! |
Content with brushing his own hair. So independent. |
Yeah.....you can stop now! |
So...that is about all I have to report on right now! More to come in the next few weeks plus I really need to post pictures of Amelia's room. I need to paint her toybox first. It is kind of an eye-sore at the moment. :)
All I can say is....God is good!! Our lives are truly blessed.
Hey Abby!
ReplyDeleteLauren sent me to your blog because she said you had done the gutter bookshelves, and I'm getting ready to make them myself! They look adorable! I do have a question, though, it may sound silly---how did you get the gutters home? Do they cut them for you at the store?
