Here’s a little bit of what’s been going on with us lately. We’ve been getting the last few things ready for Henry… This is the corner in our bedroom where Henry’s port-a-crib will be. The new mattress fits perfectly, and the crib fits nicely in that corner! That recliner is super comfy and one we got for free…

One thing that has been really special about this year is how much my parents have been able to see Charlie. Since they only live an hour and 20 minutes away, we don’t often go there for long visits or overnight stays, but we do get to see them a lot! We appreciate how much…

For some reason 15 months feels like a milestone to me. I guess because it’s halfway between 12 months and 18 months. Anyway, here is Charlie at 15 months: Belly shot! At 15 months Charlie likes to: *run around anywhere, but especially outside *open and close things, like doors, gates, etc. *wave to people (hello…

We had a great, fun-filled day on Sunday! Josh Reed, a member at our church, preached a great sermon from Deuteronomy 10. Since a lot of the women from church were at the Women’s Retreat, I signed up to help out with the kindergarten class and had a blast. Rebecca took care of the bed…

Today, Rebecca came up with the idea of meeting up at the Airport Observation Deck after work. We wanted to show Charlie the planes! They have a BIG sandbox! Toes in the sand…This is the FIRST time that Charlie has played in the sand. Yep, EVER. He likes it! Playing with mommy He’s loving it. He’s…

This week is Mom’s spring break week, and she offered to meet me in Oxford for my OB appointment on Monday to help watch Charlie. A plus for her is that she would get to hear Henry’s heartbeat and hopefully feel him move around! Then we were going to head out to breakfast.  I was really…

Charlie does not like to be spoon fed, but he loves to try to feed himself! See for yourself:   It’s fun to encourage him in doing things like this for himself! Here are several other cute pictures from today: Enjoying his chair! Snuggling and reading after dinner!

We have been busy around here getting ready for baby Henry’s upcoming arrival! We made him a “room” out of the “under-the-stairs” closet… it’s not big of course, but it’s just big enough! Here is his room! A close-up of his shelf: his bird picture, a little water fountain that I thought would be soothing, and…

We had a wonderful Easter this year, spent with really good friends! Our morning began with Charlie surveying his Easter gifts from us: We got him some spring and summer items and a couple pieces of candy. Of course the first thing he went for was the balloon! Trying to catch a bubble! We let…

For weeks before going, I was counting down the days to our trip to Lynchburg!! Meredith invited me to visit with her, Darla, Sallie, and Dennis on her last trip down from CT. She and I were planning on having some time to hang out (just the 2 of us), which we hadn’t had in…
