Big Boy

Today was Evan's last day of Birth to 3! He has been getting services to help with his speech delay since right before he turned 2. So Rachel has been coming here for over a year. It was sad to say goodbye to her! Evan has made SUCH progress and today I was overwhelmed with how proud of him I was. As we approach his 3rd birthday I love him even more then the day he was born! He says the most hilarious things and brings true joy to our lives. So proud of you little man!

Heart Day

Happy Valentines Day!!


We usually aren't big 'Valentines Day' people...I'll usually make a nice meal that we eat after kids are asleep. Hubby actually arranged for someone to come over so we could do an early dinner out just us :0). So sweet. One of my love languages is Acts of Service...while I was at work this morning my valentine cleaned up the house which was soooo nice. Can't wait to have a nice date with my man! Waiting at home will be the heart shaped cake that is currently in the oven and the kiddos of course, haha. Hope you're day was great!

Do you?

Do you ever not want to get out of the shower???!!!! Sometimes it's the peace and quiet that I don't want to leave...although my shower doesn't quite look like this pic. I can dream though right??!?! haha

Not Sure?

I am still out here...can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. Then again I HAVE been busy with two adorable kiddos. The Christmas season has come and gone which makes me sad :0(. 2011 starts the year that I (and my hubby) turn the big 3-0! :0( sad face again, haha. I am excited about the next 'chapter' in my life.

Ella is now 7mths old and I seriously can't believe how quickly it's gone. She loves her puffs as well as cheerios! She is such a joy and we thank God for her.

Evan will be 3 in April...wow again! We have started potty training...yikes! Gotta say ever since birth the thing I've been dreading most is PT!!!! He's doing pretty good so far so hopefully we will have only 1 in diapers soon.

Dave & I were able to watch a memorial service for a Pastor in Seattle, WA the other night via the internet. Dave did an internship at The City Church (www.thecity.org) before we were married. There are still so many thoughts running through my head. The services was amazing and that word doesn't do it justice. The strength and character that man walked in is something we should all strive for. Every person spoke on his overwhelming generosity and his REAL love for people. His love for prayer and the things of the Lord. His whole LIFE was an example and I was blown away watching it. Makes me really examine my own life. Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in where you are right now...not thinking about the big picture. What is God's plan for my life? What's the next step in His plan for me? What am I excited/passionate about in life? ....................

She's here!

Wow it's been a long time sine I last blogged! Our little girl has finally arrived!!

Ella Ann was born 5/29/10 (on her due date!) at 5:31pm and weighed 6lbs. 13 ounces 19in. Our little lady was right on time even though I was very ready for to come out prior to her due date. We're so glad she's here and what a blessing she is!



Here is our family of 4!

Tick, Tock...

Well I can't believe the calendar has flipped to MAY!! WOW this year is going by fast. Had my 36 week Dr. appt. this morning and she said I was measuring 'really' small so ordered an ultrasound to check my fluid etc. I wasn't too concerned but was definitely excited to see baby girl! Everything is OK and baby is weighing approx. 5lbs. 13oz. 42%tile and the head is down so yay! I feel like I had a late ultra with Evan too and they said around the same weight so we will see how big she is! We were confirmed that it's a girl too! haha Dave and I have joked saying what would we do if this baby came out a boy lol! The last ultra we had was at 20weeks! I must confess that I am getting a tad nervous that this baby is not going to come early/on time! Evan was almost 2 weeks early. Soooooo the weather in CT has been ridiculously HOT and my ankles (of lack there of) are not liking the weather!! I never experienced this first time around and I am NOT A FAN! Have been trying to keep my feet up and tried icing them the other night. Oh my!!

The only other update I would give is that we need to transition Evan to a bed...anyone have any words of wisdom/advice?!?! NOT looking forward to this at all that's for sure. All for now...
