This little sweetie . . .


. . . has some BIG news!








Yep, our little Miss Camryn is going to be a BIG SISTER!

We are so excited and so thankful for this amazing blessing.

I'm 12 weeks along and am slowly starting to feel like myself again. This time around, I surprisingly only had a few weeks of nausea but the exhaustion has been tough with a 21 month old to keep up with. Let's just say I'm taking lots of naps and Josh has been very helpful. :)

I did have a hemtoma with this pregnancy, as I did with Camryn, however it has already absorbed and we are sooooo thankful. Such an answer to prayer.

So, the official due date is September 8th and we couldn't be happier. :)

Old, Old Posts! But never too late, right? :)

In an attempt to get things organized before printing our BLOG books for the past 2 years, I was going through my list of posts and discovered lots of "drafts" that were half completed. :( I just couldn't pull myself to delete them and not document these special moments for us to cherish forever.

So, here's a quick rundown of what I just posted. Some of them dating back almost 2 years ago. I know, I know. :)

Valentine's Weekend!

We had such a fun time celebrating Valentine's Day this past weekend.

It all started with a Valentine's Party at Playgroup on Thursday. We munched on yummy snacks, made Valentine bags and shared Valentine's with all of our friends. It was so fun and Camryn of course, loved her Valentine's. :)








Then on Friday night, Josh and I went out on a date. :) We went to our FAVORITE movie theater, Gold Class Cinemas, to watch "Just Go With It". Such a funny/cute movie.

And on Sunday afternoon, Camryn and I met Mimi and Poppa for a Valentine's picnic. Unfortunately, Josh had to work. :( We enjoyed a delicious lunch of fried chicken and had a blast playing on the playground. Thanks for meeting us Mimi and Poppa and for the yummy lunch and fun gifts for C.





Sunday night, Josh, Camryn and I made Valentine cookies. Camryn LOVED decorating the cookies with sprinkles! We are still finding sprinkles in the kitchen. :)










And finally on Valentine's Day. We headed to our friend's house for a playdate with Kim & Allie. The girls played outside, we ate lunch and enjoyed some of those yummy cookies.




Later that night, I made a dinner for the (3) of us and even served it on our China. :) Josh complains all of the time on how much money is just sitting in our China cabinet that we never use. I think we've only used it once in almost 9 years. Sad I know. :( So, I thought I'd better start using it before he makes me sell it. :) We enjoyed a nice relaxing evening together as a family thanking the Lord for all of the LOVE in our lives.




And here are the beautiful flowers that Josh gave me along with a super sweet card, a pedicure and watching the Bachelor with me. :) I gave him a gift certificate to Top Golf and Camryn made him a special Valentine. Such a fun weekend!

Trip to FL to meet Kenz!

At the end of January, I FINALLY got to meet my precious niece Kenzington. And let me tell you, she's even more beautiful in person than she is in her photos. :)

I flew into West Palm Beach on Thursday and couldn't wait to get off of the plane to hug my lil sis and her baby girl. For the next three days, we shopped, ate at several yummy restaurants, oohed and aahed over how cute Kenz was and I loved every minute. I even got to babysit for an evening so Dani and George could go out on their first date night since Kenz was born. So fun!

Then, on Sunday Josh and Camryn came to join us. Yep! You read it right. Josh flew stand-by, with Camryn, all by HIMSELF. What a brave daddy huh? I packed lots of fun activities, lots of yummy snacks and even borrowed a friend's portable DVD player all in hopes of making it easier on Josh. Turns out that she was GREAT on the trip and they barely cracked into my bag of fun. Way to go Daddy! So, after we picked Josh and Camryn up in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, we enjoyed the next few days together as families. It was SO much fun! George was able to get off of work and we had a blast taking Camryn to the beach, playing at the playground, riding the choo-choo :), eating lots of yummy food and just enjoying being together. It was such a special time and even thinking back on it now, makes my heart so happy. It was amazing to see my little sister with her little one. So special! Kenzington is the most beautiful little baby girl and Dani and George are doing a fantastic job of caring for her and loving her to death. :) Thanks Dani and George for letting us come and visit and for your sweet hospitality. We love you SO much.

Now, on to the photos. :)

Of course we had to have matching outfits. :) This cute shirt was from Dani.

Delray Beach-it was too chilly to swim, but we had to show Camryn the "wa-wa".


Remember her first trip to the Beach last Summer, well she must have forgotten about it. Poor thing wasn't a fan of the sand. :(


Here's Uncle George trying to make it all better. :)
