So it's been a while...

So I now realize that I am a terrible blogger and I have not posted in next to forever but we have some serious updates that need to be shared....

LILY- turned 2 years old yesterday and has been constantly amazing us with new things that she says and does. We had a little breakfast celebration yesterday for her...and yes the doughnut does have candles in it.




BABY BOY- We are expecting a sweet little boy on October 13th! We were so excited to find out that it was a boy. We were completely convinced that we were having another girl, imagine our surprise when the ultrasound tech gave us a VERY clear view that it was a boy! So here is a not so good picture I took of the one they gave us...

Such a Girl

Lily has spent enough time watching me get ready that she finally figured that she should do the same. So one morning got into my make-up. Here are a few pictures of her adventure...she didn't get much on her but it was cute to watch her try.

Christmas 2010

This Christmas was a lot of fun. Lily had a blast opening her presents and playing with everything she got. She got a ton of stuff this year but she has loves it all.
These are just a few of the fun moments of our Christmas. Hope yours was amazing too.

"30'

So this month I turned 30! At first I didn't really care about turning 30, in fact I never really thought about it. But my the celebration for my 30th birthday started back in October. My great friend Lauren took me away for a weekend to go wine tasting and then to the spa at Peek n Peak. We travel to Erie and Chautauqa New York to go wine tasting. It was an amazing trip and so much fun. I learned all kinds of things about wine and what kinds of wine I really like.

But the celebrations continued later in December. Bobby surprised me by taking me to Nemacolin Woodlands Spa. It was amazing! While I was getting a glorious mud wrap, Bobby enjoyed relaxing by the pool and Lily enjoyed an afternoon at the children's camp. It was an amazing day and though I did start to begin to feel differently about being 30, I decided that after all the fun I had turning 30, that I want to turn 30 every year...and so I shall.

What we have been up to!

This fall has been going by too fast for me. Here is the latest on our lives:

Bob and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on October 6th. We had a great dinner at home, minus Lily of course.
This fall has also been fun for Lily too! She got a new playhouse...well new to her ;)






Lily has also enjoyed feeding herself....

Lily also enjoyed dressing up for Halloween as our Lady Bug...she was so stinkin cute!!!

So that has been our fall so far. Full of so much fun and laughter. I can't wait to see how the rest of it goes.

As for me...

I have been thinking a lot lately about how it is we serve the Lord. We all are called to serve him in different way. I love that He has called me to serve Him while being a wife and a mother. He has called others to serve him through being labors, or doctors, policemen, farmers, and through service in the military. Yesterday we welcomed home one of our former student from Marine boot camp. It was an exciting time to celebrate a big accomplishment in his life. Jacob was created to be a Marine, this is how he will serve the Lord everyday. Once we find how we are to serve God, there is a joy that comes with that service and you know that if you were to try to serve him in other ways would be a lie.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15

It goes by too fast...

It's been too long since I have posted anything and yet I don't feel like much has happened in 2 months. But at the same time so much has. Lily is becoming this amazing little person, with her very own personality. She is curious, demanding, funny and smart. She doesn't take "no" for an answer and she always gives kisses. She also has an extreme obsession with bananas! She loves, loves, LOVES animals and screams with joy when she sees one. She is growing more teeth by the day and she loves playing. We are loving our 1 year old so much!
