Christmas Day

Christmas Eve

Our little family

Next week we will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary.

Nine years, {almost} four children and a million happy memories.

We are so blessed.

Bed rest

Being on bed rest until this sweet baby comes is a little overwhelming right at this moment. But, after being put in the hospital for two days earlier this week, I will take bed rest with a grateful heart. Because I get to be here in our home, with our kids and still be taking care of this little one.

So deep breath, I will make it.

It will definitely be an exciting (or for some of us, totally boring) few weeks for all. And yet, when our new baby arrives, it will be worth every second. Here we go...

Together

They are together again. What a happy, happy day!

Although, I'm feeling a bit sad today because I couldn't travel to Utah with Jacob to be

at Grandpa Wally's funeral. But taking care of this sweet baby and doing everything 

I can to prevent our little one from coming too early is so important. I know Grandpa

would agree. But it still has been a hard day knowing I am missing out on celebrating 

Grandpa's life. But I am so very grateful for the sure knowledge that he and 

Grandma are together again and oh so very happy.  What a blessing.
