Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! He Is Risen!! What a absolutly amazing reality! We had such a great day celebrating. We started off the day at church, it was PACKED. Which is wonderful because Jesus is worth it. But it was fun to rejoice with so many people and voices around us. After church our friends Jeremy and Audrey invited us to crash their family Easter dinner, so we did and it was fabulous. Audrey's Mom and Grandmother cooked everything and there was so much delicious food. And they made Renae an Easter basket (Also, each adult got a GIANT probably foot tall chocolate bunny--Josh was thrilled). After dinner the dads all went out to hide the 280 (yes 280) eggs that we all stuffed with candy (and there were 6 golden eggs, one for each child with $1 in it!). The egg hunt was CRAZY. Renae had a blast. She of course got distracted a LOT but had a really fun time. She would pick up every egg and shake it. Check out my seriously huge baby belly. HA! After Renae was sufficiently egghausted ha ha, we came home, fed her supper and sent her to bed. Talk about a long day! But it was so much fun.







Renae got spoiled through the mail, too. Check out all the loot from Grandmas and Great Grandmas and friends!

Here You Go! :)

My friend Emily used her talent and skills to take these gems while I was up in Michigan! I'm so thankful because I didn't do this with Renae (however I did take monthly progression pictures), and I haven't taken ANY pictures with Mr. Man. So, now he can have his special picture moment, too. Enjoy!



Thank you Emily! Isn't she great!! :)

Food, Planes, and Inflatables!

Our friends Jeremy and Audrey planned a weekend full of fun for us! Friday night we went out to supper at The Varsity in downtown Atlanta. This establishment has been around for 83 years (Audrey's grandma used to go here after high school football games!) and it was so fun. You get hats, and lots of greasy food in a great atmosphere. Josh was going to be smart and order the only chicken sandwich they had on the menu (grilled chicken deluxe) but we finally talked him out of it. The Varsity is known for their chili...so Josh got a #2 which was a chili cheese dog and a chili burger. ha ha. It was hilarious. If you're going to eat at the Varsity, you'd better eat at the Varsity!




After that we went to the first ever Chick-Fil-A/ Dwarf House (another sit down version of Chick-Fil-A) in Hapeville (Atlanta) for dessert. After that, we drove back towards the house and stopped at the airport to watch planes land. There's a place on the road you can pull over for a few minutes and you literally feel your car shake the planes are so close. The landing runway is probably 100yds away. It was great fun.


Little Dwarf door for the kids:


Saturday, we helped celebrate Gavin's 3rd birthday by going to an inflatables place close to our house. It was so much fun! Renae had a blast, as did the rest of us. See for yourself! (**our camera was low on batteries, so quite of the pictures I though I had taken actually never saved on the camera because it would turn off mid-picture...there were a few of all three of us going down at once and an absolutely fabulous one of Renae and Josh going down a huge slide that I'm really sad about not having, but you can imagine from the rest of them).











Recently, Renae busted out this face. Too bad whenever she made it, whomever she made it to couldn't help but laugh. We're having a hard time teaching her it's not a nice face to make. So funny.

Baby Shower!

A few days ago my friend Audrey threw me a wonderful baby shower! It was really fun to unwrap BLUE! Cute little boy stuff. It was so fun. A bunch of girls from small group and Growing Kids came, we had a lot of fun. THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL! Check out the cake pops. DELISH!

The hostess with the mostest!

Most of the ladies...I'm sure they'll all love the eating picture. :)

Shannon and I (she took all the pictures for me!)

Sweet decorations! She tried so hard to tell me how she made em....yeah I don't get it. But they were SWEEET!

Some present pics:



It was really fun! Now I'm sorting baby boy clothes and getting his 'suitcase' all ready to live out of when he gets here! :)

UPdate.

A LOT (understatement) has happened since I last filled you in. First of all, Josh is a Company Commander again! Here's some pictures! If you've forgotten all the details of what this is, click HERE for the blog from the last change of command!

Adding all of that extra text makes this blog rather long! :) In baby news, I'll be at 29 weeks this Sunday. Some of you may be thinking, I thought you were that far last week...well, due to the constant changes of my due date, I have thought I've been at 29 weeks for two weeks already, only to find out once again that I'm not even there yet. BOO. But, more importantly Baby B and I are both healthy and now that my Drs have decided to agree on a due date, there shouldn't be any more changes. So my new due date is June 19th. It was June 10th, then an argument ensued debating June 13th and June 19th. And June 19th won. So here we are! :) Josh got to go with me to my appointment this week (perk of Company Command...1% of his day is free instead of NONE). We really like our delivering Dr. (Wish we could say the same of the high risk guy but that's neither here nor there). I'm having both Drs' appointments every 2 weeks now. And have to see the cardiologist again. Not to mention that we are moving within 1 month of the due date, so we're packing, and garage sale-ing, and LOTS more! I'll leave you with my new favorite picture of Renae--we can thank Aunt Martha for the cute piggies! :)
