Have you ever seen anything so cute?

Breaking Ground

today was a monumental day for us. we started breaking ground on our soon to be dream home. it's just the first step of many, but we are so excited! the girls loved playing in the big hole. stay tuned for all the progress.

North Run Farms

today we took the girls to north run farms. they loved seeing all the animals, going on the hayride and seeing all the pumpkins. here are some pictures from our day

last year at north run farms


what a difference a year makes, oh how things change!

Pretty Girls

Making Cupcakes

today the girls and i made cupcakes. i am so proud of them because they did so well and had such a good time. of course, they had to wear their aprons. they poured in the water and after i added the other ingredients, they stirred it all together. i showed them how to put the liners in the muffin tray and they were able to do that with no problems. after i poured in the batter, they stood and watched the cupcakes cook in the oven. the only problem they had was trying to understand why they had to wait for them to cool before digging in! i can't wait to try christmas cookies with them.

Our Little Pumpkins

on saturday, drew and i took preslee and mason to valley view farms to pick out their pumpkins for halloween. they had a blast! we could hardly keep up with them running all over the place, yelling, "punkins, orange and trick or treat". they even went in the scary hay maze with drew. they picked out a pumpkin for drew and i, one for each one of them and one for baby finley. it's so amazing watching them experience things and really understand for the first time. i love it!

A Perfect Heart

we are officially 23 weeks into my pregnancy! today we had our fetal echo for baby finley. we had one with the girls too and i remember being so nervous but i had a real peace about the one today. the pediatric cardiologist said her heart was perfect! we were able to see in such detail all four chambers, the different valves, pulmonary arteries, the patent ductus and the foramen ovale (this is for all my nurse friends). while drew and i were thrilled and so thankful to get such a good report, we got an extra added bonus too.

we noticed that she kept opening and closing her mouth, swallowing maybe? then we saw her little tongue stick out and the tech said, i think she is chewing on something. it was her fingers! later in the ultrasound, she moved her hand up by her ear and was chewing on the side of her elbow. my sweet, sweet baby was hungry. before it was over, she stuck her tongue out at us a few more times. it was the absolute cutest thing!

we just can't wait to meet her!
