12 weeks

Here is a much requested, dreaded picture. The only reason I say it is dreaded because I can not believe how BIG feel already. I lost about 20 lbs. before I got pregnant so I thought I would be smaller this time around- WRONG! I feel like I did when I was 20 weeks pregnant with Andrew. Everyone keeps telling me you are bigger with your second (especially when your kids are closer with age), so I will try to keep believing them! :)

Other than that, I feel good, tired, but good!!!

Story time with Dada!

One of Andrew's most favorite thing to do is read books. I waked into the room the other day and this is what I found. So sweet, my boys reading together!



I love how Andrew's butt is up in the air in this picture!

Snuggle time with Mama!

I love my boy SOOOO much! He is such a good snuggler! This is what we do together sometimes after nap time, and since I have been pregnant, I pretty much nap when he does!

On the tractor with Papa!

Big Brother!

Can you read Andrew's shirt? It says, World's Best Brother!



That is right, Andrew is going to be a big brother in August. I am pregnant with Baby #2. I am feeling great, other than being tired. We are very excited and will keep you all updated on the progress of this pregnancy!

Christmas 2009

For some reason I did not take a lot of pictures this year. Here are just a few from our Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning. Andrew was not really into opening gifts. He opened a few and then wanted to go outside. Sounds like a boy if you ask me. It was a great time together with our family and we enjoyed celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus

I think this was Andrew's favorite part. After he ate this whole thing he asked for another one.

The kids in their Christmas jammies. It was hard to get all three of them sitting still. This was the best one where you could actually see all of their faces.

They love us already...

This is how we found our new place the day I arrived to clean and paint. The church Matt is working came over to fill our pantry. It was amazing!!! All the food and home supplies they donated was overwhelming. We feel so blessed by them and Matt just started working.

Thank you Bay Presbyterian for loving us already!

They gave us 9 jars of spaghetti sauce and pounds of pasta!

Look at it all...


Paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, zip-loc bags, garbage bags, etc.


They even had a BIG box of diapers and wipes in Andrew's room. What a wonderful WELCOME HOME gift.

Cruise part 2

It was fun to take a cruise around christmas time because the ship was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations! I love it of course.

Nassau, Bahamas- our first stop. Matt and I enjoyed the beach and snorkeling at the Atlantis resort!



Dinner our second night!

Fun towel creatures!

Our servers, Bernard and Bella

Our table of 4. We ate dinner with Anthony and Rachelle (from NYC) every night and we really enjoyed getting to know them. They were great table guests and good friends by the end of our cruise!


The only place I did not take any pictures was Key West. Matt and I enjoyed walking down the strip and eat lunch on the water. We had a very relaxing week but we were ready to see our boy. Thanks to all the grandparents who watched Andrew so we could take this special trip together!
