We are almost ready...

We are all on the count down to Abigail's arrival! Andrew and I have a lot planned today while Eric is visiting his Grandma for the weekend. We (Andrew) is making a pantry out of our down stairs hall closet, while I sponge paint the kids bathroom. There are only a few little rooms still needing paint and the white walls look gross! I figured it was time, since who knows when I'd be able to get around to it after Abbey comes! Yesterday we received Abbey's Easter dress, and the boys new shirts I ordered off etsy.com (you can find below!)

Fill in the blanks...

Got this off another friends blog, and thought why not!

The phrase or punctuation I overuse most is: ~



2. Today I am thankful for: even though it's difficult sometimes, but being able to be a stay at home mommy!

3. My best friend is: Andrew, I'm so blessed to be his wife and have him there to support me! Then there's Patty, there are no words to express what our relationship has done for me! Then April and Claire, you are always there even if it's just to pray for me in the middle of life's messes!


4. A quirky thing about me is: I am double jointed in both my index fingers, I can touch my tongue to my nose

5. This weekend: I'm going to be sponge painting the kids bathroom, the white walls are gross

6. Something that worries me: I honestly try to give everything to God, but there are those times when I just want to hang on to whatever it is.

7. On my night stand you would find: a lamp, stack of books, tv remotes, my cell phone, my sons ds, and right now a bag of whoppers!

Her room is Ready!!!!

now all we need is this sweet little girl to join us!

Sneak Peek...

Here's a sneak peek of Abigail's room! Patty is doing an amazing mural in the room, and I'm so excited to see what the final outcome will look like! But here's a sneak peek of the mural!

Tiger Scouts....

At the beginning of the year we put Eric in Tiger Scouts; he loves it! At today's meeting they learned about journalism, and Eric is looking forward to the derby car race with his very cool batman car!







At the Arrow of light dinner... Eric was in "Star Wars" heaven!

Another craigslist find!!!!

Andrew and I must have loaned out our baby swing and can't remember who we loaned it to. Both the boys loved their swing, and I knew we would need to have one for Abigail. The boys had a very boyish swing, and seeing as how we can't find it, I wanted a girlie one for our sweet lil' girl! I found her swing for $100 off the retail price, and in close to new condition... bad thing was it was over an hour north from where we live. So off for a driving adventure Ethan and I went; we got lunch on the way and played car games! We had a great time, and the swing is adorable!



here's the boys old swing




and here's Abigail's new swing...
