Baby's Room

With only a few small details to finish up in the baby's room, I think we're ready. Thanks to Mimi for more of her time and beautiful artwork. My inspiration for the colors in the room were from a picture of a cherry blossom tree, and Mimi was able to duplicate it above the crib.

We have a rocking chair getting reapolstered in a light pink giraffe print.

It will be placed in the corner to the right of the floor lamp.

sweet little dresser given to us by my friend, Robin...

J sanded it down and I re-painted it a chocolate brown.

Light pink knobs were added.

What new princess doesn't deserve a lovely mini-chandelier???

Unfortunately, the picture doesn't show how sweet it really is.

Big Sister needed a new princess light, too...

Finally, A Name...

After much debate and sending away 50+ names, we have finally come to a conclusion. Our sweet little pea will be called Piper. I've loved the name since student teaching in 1998. It is then that I first met a Piper -- she was a doll and so was her name. I'm getting anxious to meet ours.

Update: As of Tuesday, I am 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. My OB/GYN is on call today and this weekend, so no worries here. My next appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, May 3rd.

Happy Easter

Easter morning brought an indoor egg hunt and baskets from The Bunny. Q likes to shake the eggs to see if anything inside is worth his time, while Ri still finds excitement in the treasures.

In the afternoon, we celebrated "Baby" Sutton's 2nd Birthday at UB & Aunt Aimee's house. I suppose we'll drop the term "Baby" once the newest addition arrives.

cheesin' it up for Aunt Kim...

last year, he was coined the "egg snatcher"

this year, we may need to call him an "egg snob"...

Easter Fun in CS

On Friday morning, we traveled to CS for an early Easter celebration. The weather was perfect & the kids loved playing with Grandma & Paw Paw! Hunting for eggs was a special treat!

Bye-Bye Bonnets

With the lack of rain & super hot days, my annual Texas bluebonnet pictures were quite sad. So sad, I wanted to shed a few tears. I'll blame that on my hormones.

Next year, I'll have to make sure that I get it together as soon as the first sign of wildflowers are in bloom. For now, enjoy my effort & those cute smiles.

love these two...

even when they're being silly...

cute stuff...

more cuteness...

I Like Parties

Part of our Saturday afternoon was devoted to having some fun at "Pump it Up". The kids love attending birthday parties there. Can't you tell??

Kindergarten, Here We Come...

Guess who got enrolled for Kindergarten today?!?!? This guy....
