Will, Weston, and I went to Smith Lake two weekends ago for our last getaway before Connor is born. We had such a great time. It was so relaxing, and a much needed retreat. Weston enjoyed boating by day and swimming in the pool at night. He has become quite the little fish this summer. Will and I were actually able to do some reading in the mornings when Weston slept in. We hope to make another trip to stay at the lake this Fall, after we get adjusted to having sweet little Connor around. He will be here in less than 3 weeks!

Weston, we can't believe you are already 2 years old. It has been such great fun watching you grow and learn new things. We love you so much! For your party on July 24, we invited your friends to come slip n'slide and play on the swinget in our backyard. We played a little t-ball, because "aseball" (baseball) is your favorite sport right now. You ate cake, cupcakes, goldfish, and ice cream with your friends after they sang Happy Birthday to you. You loved wearing your "dir-day" (birthday) hat, and asked to wear it for days after your birthday! You had so much fun at your party, and you loved opening presents. You have filled us with so much joy. We thank God for you every day. We look forward to making many more fun memories with you throughout the years.

Nesting Projects...

It now has Ephesians 2:10 going around the print

New paint and mirrors

New bedding

Will and I have been busy working on nesting projects all summer as we get ready for Connor's arrival. We painted two bathrooms and changed mirrors and fixtures. We built an outdoor playset for Weston and refinished patio furniture. We painted Weston's big boy room and moved him to a big bed, which he loves! We also trained Weston to use the potty, which was probably the most challenging of all "projects". I have been busy painting canvases for the boys' rooms, cleaning out closets, and finishing Weston's baby book:) Next on the list is washing and putting away baby clothes for Connor. The summer has flown by, but it has been a lot of fun preparing for the arrival of our new little guy...less than 6 weeks to go!!!

5 Wonderful Years!

Will and I celebrated our 5th wedding on July 2nd. Five years have flown by so fast! It has been great sharing life with my best friend. Will is such a wonderful husband and father, and I feel so blessed to have him in my life. God has been so good to us over the years as we have moved several places and met many wonderful friends. He has blessed us with our sons, Weston (2 years old) and Connor (who will arrive in less than 6 weeks)! I am so amazed at how great our God is, and how he shows his love for us through our spouses and children.
