Fun With Mommy

Before Ben came, Andrew and I spent the days doing several of "fun" things just the two of us. I had no idea how important those things would be once Ben arrived.

 

We painted in the bathtub.

 

 

We jumped and slid!!! (Well, not me.) But Andrew had a blast.

 

We spent time at the splash park. Last year he liked it... this year he LOVED it!!!

 

 

Hop! Hop! Hop!

 

 

Last year, they had snow cones... but not this year. We had to settle for slushes.

 

So thankful for these memories and special time with Andrew. It has made me feel a lot less guilty for the little time I can spend with him now.

Blackberry Picking

I have been trying to do as many fun things before Ben comes as we can. I love all these memories and time with my boys.

Our family

 

 

After all the heat, this momma wanted a snow cone. So James was sweet and took all of us to get one! Barely a lap left for Andrew to sit in.

 

Surprise! Surprise! Andrew picked orange!

 

 

After snow cones, we went home to make cobbler.

 

 

This little guy loves to help his daddy!!!

 

 

James did a great job!

Ben's Room Updated

Ben room is READY!

 

 

 

 Can you guess who picked out Ben's first year calendar? 

 

 

 

 

All the picture frames will need to be updated. We will also add a verse under the animals. It will be Philippians 4:6 Don't worry about anything. Instead pray about everything, tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. We sing this song/verse in Chapel and God has placed this verse on my heart my entire pregnancy, so we felt that was Ben's life verse.

 

 

 

 

Ready to meet this sweet little boy!
