it's a . . .

We are so excited to meet this little lady in September!  I shared this video on Facebook and Instagram in May, but am just now getting around to posting it here (sorry for the really bad quality!  It was the only way I knew how to compose a small video).  As you can see, I've already started shopping for girl clothes.  I'm trying to resist the temptation but they are so cute!  Just this week, I started on her nursery and I'll share the progress here soon.  H loves hanging out in his sister's room.  He can now identify a baby when he sees one.  When we ask him where the baby is, he either lifts his shirt up and points to his belly or lifts my shirt and point to mine.  So we're not really sure if he fully understands what's going on here. 

I'm currently in my 28th week and feeling huge!  I swear I'm a lot bigger this time around.  I'm more tired and seem to run out of breath more easily these days.  Baby girl is kicking and moving around comfortably in there which makes it hard to fall asleep sometimes.  But an active baby means a healthy baby, so I don't mind at all. 

September will be here before we know it!

a month of celebrations

June is one of our busiest months since we have lots of reasons to celebrate all throughout the month.

We started the month off with National Donut Day!   Did you get yours?

My better half turned the big 3-0!  I made this cake/pie for him since we're making it an annual tradition to have it on his birthday.

Our little man hit 18 months!  He is babbling non stop and can say up to 19 words (and counting).  Although he is a lot of fun these days, we're also dealing with a lot of fits and tantrums lately.  No one told me the terrible twos start a lot earlier!  I pray for patience every. single. day!

Our Father's Day celebration was very low key.  Poor Paul.  H was in the worst moods that day.  I wish we can have a do-over.  There is always next year.

Celebrated our fourth anniversary on the 19th.  I'm thankful I get to share the rest of my life with this wonderful man.

Bailey turned 7 and has entered her "golden years."  She's a little plumper, a little older, but she is more fabulous than ever!

And of course, summer has officially started!  What are your plans this summer?

Since it's my brother's birthday tomorrow, I thought it was finally time to write a post on his wedding day.  It was Saturday, March 22nd, and the forecast was not looking promising.  There was a chance of showers, and it was extra windy due to it being right off of White Rock Lake.  They served hot chocolate for their guests, who waited patiently for the ceremony to commence, which I thought was a nice, personal touch.  But the weather held up long enough for the ceremony to happen outdoors, just as the couple had envisioned.  All in all, I'm so proud them for putting together a wedding that speaks a lot about who they are as a couple. 

It's a little hard to have fun at a wedding with a little one.  So unfortunately, I didn't get as much pictures as I'd hoped.  Here are a few of my favorites.
