My babies...

Tomorrow they won't be my "babies" anymore.  We are excited to meet our newest little man, but watching these guys run around in fire hats tonight is making me feel a bit nostalgic...




I'm a ball of nerves tonight!  Knowing that this time tomorrow we'll be parents again feels so surreal.  Knowing that this baby bump will be gone is so strange!  So many worries, fears, concerns...I have to give it up to God and hope for the best.  Say a little prayer for us tomorrow that all goes smoothly and we have a healthy baby boy.  Then continue to pray that he'll survive childhood with these two wild boys.  

The big day has finally arrived!


Snow Pictures

The yard has over 4 feet of snow in it right now...it's waist deep!

See the chiminea buried back there...just a *tiny* top peeking out?

So crazy!!  

When we first looked out the window we thought Kevin's car was gone.  Then realized when we looked out the front door that it was just behind the snow bank.  There is the front end!  *phew*

Our front walkway is flanked by HUGE mounds of snow.

The view from the jacuzzi room...snow is piled up to the windows!

Photo Shoot = Time to JAM

Cole loves to dance...and sing...and play music...and for some reason photo shoots really bring out the boogie!  I staged a photo shoot recently with the boys and Cole didn't realize that my camera kept on shooting while he was busting moves.  :)  He's got his Nana's voice and rhythm and not mine - thank god!!


Update on baby boy...

So we just got back from the doctors (very snowy ride) and everything is set for Thursday!  My blood pressure was great and this little guy is VERY comfy in my belly.  :)  Poor thing is going to be shocked come Thursday morning.

All this snow is CRAZY (another 10-15 inches over the next two days) but I am so relieved that it will be over come Thursday.  We'll see if it delays our delivery at all.  Right now we are scheduled to go in for surgery at 11am.  It's the final stretch now!!!

We had appliances delivered yesterday, but there were some issues with the stove.  We bought it "open box" with the assumption that everything was in perfect condition.  Well apparently, the legs were broken, so the plumber wouldn't hook it up.  While we are stuck with a stove in the middle of our kitchen, the good news is that the appliance store is going to replace it with a new one.  Yipppeee!!!

So that's it for now!  Off to finish organizing the boys new playroom.  We bought some cool stuff from Ikea to organize toys in the basement and we now have EVERY SINGLE TOY down there and in it's own special place.  It's one of those things that we keep saying, "why didn't we do this before?"  The boys love it...and it has given us some nice quiet moments upstairs.  *love*

Happy snow day!  Hope everyone stays safe and warm in all this crazy weather!!
