Exciting News!

Blake and I are excited to announce that in February (maybe sooner:) Belle will have a new baby brother or sister! I had my first doctors appointment yesterday and everything went really well. She said I am about 8 weeks along and everything looks great so far. Belle is already starting to get the idea and several times has come up and patted or kissed my tummy and says "hi baby". She is so sweet and will be a great big sister:) Sorry for those of you who read this and find out the news this way but this is the fastest way to get the word out:)
Please pray for mine and the babies health in the months to come and that we don't fight too much as space gets tighter;)

Belle absolutely loves the water, bath or swimming pool. I took some sweet pics last night that I wanted to share. I just love it when she has water on her cute little eye lashes!

And nothing is cuter than a wet baby wrapped in a towel:)

I am so proud of myself for FINALLY decorating Belle's room. I am far from being done but it is amazing what a little paint can do:)

She actually POSED for this pic!!

I just love her new dresser! Thanks Gran and Grandad!! (and Ikea:)

These sweet little pieces of art were made by Kristin and they look perfect right above her closet door:)

She now has her own little reading "nook".

More house updates...

Here are some more pics of the updates we have done to the house so far:) The bench turned out EXACTLY how I pictured it and I am so happy to finally be able to sit on it:)

Okay, sadly this is probably my favorite things in my kitchen and maybe even the whole house! Not your typical "wooden spoon"... ouch!

My lovely and bright kitchen... I LOVE IT!!!!

I have been eyeing this tree from Canton for months and finally have a place for it! I used glass jars and hung them with wire with little tealights in them:)

We haven't had to do too much out here but will be doing some minor landscaping projects in the next few months.

Here is Belle enjoying the free spray park here in town...

Didn't take long for her to get right in and play!
