My 28th birthday

A bit of a catch up post - I'm trying SO hard to get through all the photos back from Florida up through today - I have finally gotten through Florida and have to post a TON more, but I thought I'd change it up and do a small post from my birthday. Adam took me out to dinner while my parents watched the girls then we came back to their house and had cake all together. It was a blast :)

Thank you, Kara, for my beautiful card :)

Felt especially blessed this birthday - celebrating turning 28 with two healthy girls and one more healthy baby on the way, a great husband who takes such good care of me and our kids and a family that I love so much. These darn hormones make me so emotional.

Off to get a much needed pedicure (thanks, Mom!) today - hoping this baby decides to come earlier rather than later!!! :)

Maternity Portraits

I suppose I should post some of these before the baby comes! I haven't had a chance to edit all of them yet - these are the handful that sweet Dawn edited and sent to me. Love her :)
It was ridiculously hot this evening and the girls were not quite happy about pictures after the first 30 minutes :) They still look adorable though.
I'm looking forward to the day when my face doesn't look so swollen/chubby. Hooray for three more weeks!
Here are some from the session -

LOVE Jocelyn's face in this one :)

love her :)
I love these girls SO incredibly much :)

Boy or girl in there??? CANNOT wait to find out! :)

Love her :)

More in the Village...

I'm slowly making progress through the hundreds of Florida pictures I have - hopefully I can finish Florida posts before the baby arrives :) Which, by the way, is 24 days give or take a few. Today I have designated "baby day" - since we are homebound with Noah recovering from a fever yesterday, so hopefully I can get things ready for #3 to arrive. We are closer to finding a replacement boy name - we vetoed our last pick a month or so ago and have been trying to find a better one - but boy's names are RIDICULOUSLY hard to agree on.
Anyway - I'll do a prego post later today I hope, but for now, some FLORIDA pics :)


Large chair that we always take pictures on -

They added a carousel to the Village - with the sole purpose of stealing money from vacationers - it was $7 a person! But the girls were obsessed and they have a Grampie that loves to make them happy :)

Then there was music and the girls couldn't resist a bit of shaking what their mother gave em -


Do I even need to tell you there's more to come?

Florida - beach and dinner in the Village

Jocelyn was SOOOO tired on the beach some days - this one in particular. It took less than 30 seconds for her to fall asleep on my shoulder :)

Yum.
