For those that don't know.........

I was talking to my sister-in-law the other day. I told her that I would take pictures of the neighborhood that our house is being built in since she hasn't seen it.
CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE BETTER.
1. We are the 10th house in the neighborhood (# 11 is presently being built).

2. There is a soybean (or some kind of) field behind our house.

3. We have neighbors to our right but an empty lot to our left (facing the house).

The bummer thing is that while taking these pictures, I think my cell phone fell out of the car. Now it is gone somewhere covered in snow or crushed by the snow plows--so sad.

Poor Little Buddy!

I know boys will be boys but how painful.

Big Brother and Big Sister Weekend

We took Sara Grace and Lawson to Indy for a special time before baby sister arrives. We stayed in a hotel that had a pool and went to the most incredible children's museum in Indy. The museum had a Barbie exhibit and a Bob the Builder exhibit that weekend. It couldn't have been more perfect for our children. We were completely amazed by the museum! While we were in Indy, we also got some house stuff accomplished. It was a great weekend.

Yay! Barbie exhibit

Lawson cracked us up. As soon as we walked in the Barbie exhibit he began to sulk and sat down.

By this point Lawson was so over the Barbie exhibit. Bronson was so proud.

Give us your best dino face.......or not.

They were thrilled to meet Bob the Builder

Lawson got to use a real drill!

Too cold for Bronson and Lawson to get in.

Watching all the snow Indy got that weekend.

If you have been around Sara Grace the last 5-6 months you would have noticed that she is really into the story of baby Jesus. She loves the stories, the movies, and the nativity scenes. Sara Grace's favorite thing is to act it out or "play" the story. She will recruit anyone that is willing to play with her. Lawson has been a faithful to go along with this and he has been promoted from the donkey (for Halloween he was the donkey and she was Mary the Mother of Jesus) to Joseph. He does have a staff which can be dangerous at times, but other times he uses it quite appropriately. Here are some pics and a video clip of the two of them playing baby Jesus.

Flash Back to Christmas!

I've been so busy, I haven't blogged about Christmas. I thought before I took the holiday border off I should put some pics up of our Christmas.
We had a great Christmas. It was nice to go home for a week and see my family.

Here is a video of the kids singing and some pics of the cousins in Charlotte. I think it is also funny because you can hear me singing more than you can hear the kiddos! Now you know why I've never been in choir or a praise band!


We went to an indoor sports, jumping place. The kids had a great time, and it was a perfect thing to do since the weather was so rainy.

House Update

We are about 8-9 weeks until completion of our house. Perfect timing since the baby is coming in 7 weeks. Bronson and I tend to live life to its most complicated. Why not build a house, have a baby, pack, and move only a few weeks a part from each other???? hhhMMM??? Oh, well, it has kept us busy and full of anticipation.

Here are some pics that we took yesterday of the house. This week they should begin priming and painting the inside.

Update on Sweet Baby P

I am 31 weeks and had a doctor's appointment this morning. I took Sara Grace and Lawson with me since it was an ultra sound appointment. Our little sweet P is doing great. She continues to be quite active. The doctor scheduled her birth date for March 17, 2010 at 7:30 in the a.m.- our little St. Patty baby. We even got to see her in 4D. She was sucking on her hand, too cute! When we were leaving the doctor's office, Lawson started to cry and said, "I didn't get to see the baby." I don't think he quite got it.
So the count down begins. I have 6 appointments left and only 8 weeks to go. We are getting quite excited to meet this little one.
