Pics and Stories

I finally downloaded some pictures from the last few days.

This last weekend we had a Cookie Exchange. I was bad about taking pictures. I thought this was a cute one though. Some of the kids decided to take a swing! It was actually semi warm outside that day.

Lily helping David put Baby #2's crib together. She loves to help her Daddy. I'm thinking of looking for a tool set for this one!

Before nap time, Lily decided to read Mommy a story. She got up here all by herself and read the entire book.

After nap time, Lily brought down some friends.

38 weeks plus! I'm totally ready to have this baby.

Oh so very Pregnant

Sorry for not posting in awhile. I do have some pictures to share and stories to tell, but the husband has been using the camera to sell some items on Craig's list and I'm not quite sure where the camera is at the moment.

I'm so very ready to have this baby now. I have entered the uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. I feel ginormous and many tasks feel like they take twice as much work as the non-pregnant Jen. I can no longer carry Lily around without pain. I can pick her up quickly, but no holding her for more than a few seconds. She's quite independent with getting around these days, so that helps. She goes up and down the stairs without my help and really the only time I need to pick her up is to put her to bed and put her in her chair to eat.

Perhaps my next post will be to share pictures of Baby #2??

It's Spring! No, It's Winter! No, It's Spring!

We are having some silly weather here in Colorado.
Last week was quite mild in the 50s and 60s. Over Thanksgiving weekend it was fairly cold and we got BIG OLE snow on Sunday. Today it's back in the 60s.
David and Lily made a snowman yesterday and today he has already mostly melted. This is what I like about Colorado - the little breaks of warmth you get during winter. (Yea, not so much a winter person. I like me some warmth!)

From our back porch

Lily's 1st snowman!

Maya got in on the action too!

Yeah snow!

Baby #2 Room

David worked really hard yesterday painting and putting together a crib for Baby #2's room. Here is a sneak peak.

I'm in love with blue and brown together. Just hope the little one really is a boy!! David came up with the idea of stripes and they turned out great! It's a good thing he is a perfectionist. I am not and would probably have had some interesting "vertical" stripes had I been the one to paint.

This room used to be green and we called it "the green room". If you click on the picture, you can see the green on the insides of the window. We are debating if we make that blue or white. Bye bye "Green Room"

Unfortunately the crib was not what we thought. The side railing doesn't come down and with me being a bit shorter, I'm not sure if that will work out for my back. I'm debating on contacting Target to see how we'd return something we already put together. If anyone had a crib out there and didn't lower the sides at all, let me know how that worked for you!

Thanksgiving Pics

We had a nice Thanksgiving this year. Very simple and laid back. This is exactly what I needed.

Lily with her Grandma. Grandma held Lily while David and I got dinner ready.

Lily hung out with Grandpa after dinner!

Family pics. Darn, I didn't get one with just David, Lily and me. Pregger brain! ha ha
