Last Picture...

Here is the latest, and final, picture of the "Baby Belly":


Our due date is Monday, 4 May, and as you can see Sara is about ready to pop! At our last appointment with the Doctor the baby weighed around 7 and a half pounds, and is definitely running out of room in there.

This time next week we will, probably, be able to put up a picture of our child! And will be able to tell you if it is a him or a her.

Stay tuned...

A bed for the Babe.

Yesterday evening our bassinet arrived in the mail. We spent a few minutes putting it together and now, thanks to my parents, we have a place for the babe to sleep. It is so exciting to see our apartment start to fill up with baby items.
We are ready to meet this little one and welcome him/her into our home.

Weekend at the Lake House.

Over the weekend I went up to Sunset, South Carolina with some of my closest friends from seminary. We had a little reunion weekend to celebrate Kim's birthday. We ate lots of good food, read, rested, and enjoyed being together. The weather was terrible. I don't think we saw the sun the entire weekend and we even had some snow on Sunday night. But, it was the perfect place to spend a weekend curled up by the fire with good friends. Can't wait until we do it again!

This is where I spent most of the weekend- in front of the fire, under a blanket, reading a book.

We had craft time with Aubrey. She taught us how to make wax paper stencils and we decorated onesies and burp clothes for the baby.

The finished products.

The amazing birthday cake that Kristin made for Kim.

A little trip to Crystal River.

Two weeks ago Alex and I headed down to Florida for the weekend. We went to The Villages to pick up Alex's mom who was in town visiting friends. We took her over to Citrus County to show her the sights. We went to the beach, had ice cream on Kings Bay, had dinner at Fat Boys, visited with friends from Seven Rivers, went to Howard's Flea Market Saturday morning, and spent a beautiful afternoon at the Wildlife Park. It was a short trip but it was great to be back home!
