Most precious moment so far

The time invested in children is so precious. I had a moment with Lorelei yesterday that melted my heart. She and I were sitting in the bathroom, and had been in there for almost an hour because she has decided that she wants to get off and on the toilet by herself. Therefore, she was getting off and on and off and on and...so on. We were just talking and laughing and one of the times she got down she came and stood in front of my and leaned in to give me a kiss and then stood back and looked at me. She was deep in thought with the sweetest look on her face and then she said, "I yuv yu momma". It was such a sweet unprompted show of affection! I love her so much.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!

Flying by....

One of the pictures I am putting up today really describes exactly how I feel this holiday season is going! i feel like I can barely blink and it is a new day! It is the exact same way with Lorelei and this precious boy that is on the way! Wasn't it just yesterday that she was in my tummy kicking me constantly! Wasn't it just yesterday not 5 years ago that Danny and I got married! Unbelievable!!

She has moved on from her Elmo fascination and is now a Little Mermaid fanatic! When I say fanatic I am serious! I am trying to make sure we only watch it once a day. As much as I love the movie I don't care to watch it 5 times a day!! It is too cute. She sits and smiles through the whole thing. She even loves the "scary" parts!

I am still finding myself overwhelmed with thankfulness for everything that God has blessed us with, and can't wait to see what this next year has in store! (especially that whole family of 4 thing)

Well, I love the holidays!! Danny gets a few days off that we get to spend with him, and we get to spend time with both of our families. What a blessing to have them all close! Today was a very productive day for me. I have uploaded some pictures of the outfits I made for Lorelei today! It was so fun and I can't wait for her to wear them. My back is a little achy, but it is well worth the money saved.

We are still trying to figure out a name for our sweet little boy, and are coming close to a decision. Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!!

It's a boy!!!

We are so excited to be having a baby boy! I know it will be new and exciting, but I am ready for the challenge. :) Children are such a blessing and I am so thankful to be able to stay home with ours and invest in their lives. It gives me so much joy. I am so thankful for a husband that works and provides for our family. I am most thankful for a God that is faithful to provide all of our needs, and lots of our wants. We do not deserve what we have.

Our next step in this whole process is to pick out a name for our sweet baby boy, and decide where he will be sleeping in our house. I am thinking that he and danny will be sharing a office/nursery. That way Danny doesn't have to move all of his Whisper stuff out into the living room. I suppose if business picks up and he has lots of late nights in there we can re-think it all, but if it is just every once in a while the little one can go to sleep in our room and move in there before we go to bed. I have no doubt it will all pan out. And we still have 4 months to make all the preperations.

Follow the Light

Well, here we are headed into the holiday season! I love this time of the year. We made a huge batch of homemade chex-mix last night that made the house smell wonderful!!!! This time of year makes me want to eat ALL day long. That probably wouldn't be the best thing in the world for me to do. hehehe.

Things are starting to get better pregnancy wise. I still have some rough evenings, but my energy is coming back and I think I am starting to feel the little bean move around. Actually, I think avacado would be the correct size description right now. We find out on Nov. 11th what the baby is, and we can't wait!!!!

I think we are going to get Lorelei her new big girl bed this weekend or next. I am very excited about that. I think she is too. We took her into room-to-go last weekend and let her see it and sit on it, and she was very excited! She has begun to speak in small sentences, and amazes me daily with the little things she is starting to pick up. We can now count to 10 and are beginning to sing the abc's. What a blessing it is to be home and be a part of all her learning and developing. I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have. So thankful for a husband that works to support his family!

Speaking of husband. Now for the job update. Unfortunately, the job has not worked out. The higher ups decided it would be more cost efficient to higher a uniform for the job. This was a big disappointment for us. It seemed to be a very large door that God had opened for Danny. so, the big question we asked was Why? right now to me, I see it as maybe He wanted to see if Danny was willing to go out on a step of faith, but it wasn't the right time for it. I am clinging to the promise of Jeremiah 29:11. Obviously despite maybe not wanting to be, Danny is where he is supposed to be right now. We are going to choose to follow the Light.

Coming soon

I have a job update that will take awhile to type up, so be looking for that in the next day or two. We have been soooooo busy this week. I have left each morning and not gotten home till after 9:00 every night. Most of it has been spending time with family and grandparents that were in town and tomorrow I am going to holiday market and a fabric shop for some christmas stuff for Lorelei. YEA!!! Anyways.....long update coming soon. toodles!

Roll Call

Lorelei has a new thing that she loves to do....when she goes to bed she goes through roll call of everyone that she believes needs to be in the bed with her. It really us a funny thing to see her run for all of them when we say it is time for night night. Of course the most important is her "lovey" but we also have Elmo, Nemo, bunnies, meow (cat), pig, dog....etc. I will have to get a picture with her holding them all in her arms running to her bedroom. It is too cute!

We went to a family reunion today. It was Danny's side of the family and it is always fun to watch when a bunch of Weston's get together. I love any chance Lorelei gets to see mamaw (danny's grandmother) because she is 94 and as alert and full of life as ever. She has the best memory of anyone that I have ever met. She can really remember anything that has ever happened to her. She is a sweet sweet lady! I am so glad Lorelei gets to know her even if it is just for a few years.

We are now into the second trimester of this pregnancy. It really seems to be flying by! I can't believe it really. Next month we will be finding out what we are having! We can't wait! I feel as though I am definetly starting to show now, and I know that means hopefully soon I will get the feel the litte one moving around! I can't wait. Life is such a miracle! We are so thankful for the blessings that God has given us and can't wait to see what He has in store!
