Valentine's Playdate Party!

Today Emery had a Valentine's Day playdate party!

He and his friends decorated bags and then exchanged Valentine's.

And they played for a while too!

Lastly they enjoyed some Valentine cupcakes!

Fun was had by all :)

In the beginning...

(October 2004)

I was just thinking today how happy I am to be married to this guy :)

Dancing

Being cooped up inside when it is rainy and cold makes for some interesting days! Emery has lots of energy he needs to get out sometimes :)

25 Weeks!

25 Weeks!
15 more to go...

(And yes I am aware that the basketball will keep growing until it looks like I've got a watermelon under my shirt. sigh.)

Living Room

Here is our living room before we moved in.

And this is it now!

We are just now getting around to decorating. I've been so sick with this pregnancy that once we were unpacked I had no desire to do anything else. I still get sick sometimes (usually in the evenings) but it isn't so bad. And now that we are 4 months away from having our new baby girl, that "nesting" instinct is kicking in and I'm frantic to get everything ready before she gets here!

This clock is so cool. It's vinyl directly onto the wall and then you just hang the clock hands!

And I love my little flower that I don't have to water :)

Emery loves our new couch. After 5 years of marriage, I think we were definitely ready for it!


PS- We still haven't gotten around to making my cool organization unit for the kitchen. Last weekend it rained. This weekend they say it will be super cold and rainy or snowy! So I guess I will just keep working on other rooms in our house. We still have some painting to do. Plus getting baby girl's nursery ready!

Painting the kitchen

Let's just say I never really liked this color choice for my kitchen!
But, we finally got around to painting it :)

I know tan is so boring, right? But I couldn't decide on another color, and it goes well with the brown in the living room. Plus I will be able to add a pop of color with decorations :)

Our next project?

This sweetness! Can't you just imagine it on that empty wall?
I just love it! And Pottery Barn, I love the idea, but $1,600 -really? I think not.
I think I'll just build it myself with some help from my new favorite blog Knock Off Wood (and maybe my hubby too).
It's a pretty big project though, so we'll see. I've got a huge long list of house projects I want to get done before the baby comes and right now the nursery is pretty close to the top! I guess it's that nesting thing taking over! Better get to work!

Its a Girl!!!

I had my ultrasound today and we are having a girl!!! :)
Here is a picture of my expanding belly! I am at 22 weeks!
We are so excited!
