Busy Week and a Half

Joey's school threw a multi-baby baby shower. We were blessed! Lydia enjoyed reading books in her PJs at school with the balloon! She really wanted us to play school so she could be the teacher. Thankfully, Ms. Ginger McConnell cooperated. Later, she was reading in the floor, but I guess I failed to get a picture...

Later, Madelyn tried some rice cereal. Lydia continues to eat mac and cheese at least 4 times a week.

 

Sweet baby was tired!

Then there was Valentine's Day!

Clean baby with rolly legs. 

 Madelyn is now 4 months old! What a chub!!

Lydia enjoys taking pictures of herself and making funny faces and playing in the crib. 

We attended Abram's birthday bash with a mustache theme. I guess Lydia wanted to continue with her pudding. (Pics can be viewed here, as I did not take any pictures.)

I got to help throw my cousin, Lindsay, a baby shower. So much fun!!

Center pieces were diaper cakes with Boo-Boo Bunnies and jelly beans on top since the baby is due on Easter Sunday.

I love my babies!! 

If I were a songwriter, I would write one titled "The View in My Rear-view". (Probably to the tune of "From My Front Porch Looking In" since it's pretty much the same concept.) (Now, I'm thinking there already is a song about this....)

Sprinkling and Nesting

Lydia finally putting change in her piggy bank while we organize the nursery.

My Aunt Bev threw me a 'sprinkle' Friday evening. We obviously still have all the big stuff from 3 years ago, but celebrating a new life is always fun in good company. I am so thankful to my friends and family who came to eat baked potatoes and cupcakes, play a few games, and make AWESOME monthly onesies for the new baby. I can't wait to put him/her in them!!

 According to the old wives tales, this baby is a 58% chance of being a girl and a 42% chance of being a boy.

Apparently, some people think I'm bigger than even I think I am! :) 

Lydia and Hope playing together.

The fabric for each number is appropriately themed for the month in which it will be worn.

I spent most of today picking up, cleaning, doing laundry, and running errands. At 8.5 months pregnant, I feel like I accomplished a lot, but man am I tired!

The nursery is officially ready!

The family cradle is properly placed.

And this may be the only time you see Lydia's room this clean for a while.

All About Callie

Callie's birthday is July 13, so we threw her a party at our house.

The cake was ice cream, of course. 

Hi Holly! 

Apparently, it was a little after 9 on the night this picture was taken. :) 

Holly threw Callie a bridal shower. Miranda was in charge of making her rehearsal bouquet using the bows and ribbons from the gifts. 

The name of the game was "Make a wedding dress out of toilet paper and the bride chooses the best." 

Game #2 consisted of Callie dressing herself blindfolded using the guests directions. 

Ta Da!

Wedding Showers

My church hosted a wedding shower for us on May 20th. There was a great turn out and I am so blessed to have such a great church family.
