Just In Case...

...you're anxiously checking my blog for baby updates, I have none to post.

No signs of early labor.

My scheduled C-section will be at noon on Wednesday as long as they aren't too busy in Labor & Delivery Wednesday morning.

Until then, I'll be watching the World Series and explaining the game to my husband. How is it that I've been married to Tom for 5 years now and not realized how little he knows about baseball? I suppose he could say the same thing about me and football though. Tonight's lesson: Where is short stop? I'm not kidding.

Life With A Three-Year-Old

Friday morning before school

Natalie: Micah, you need to pick out something for show-and-tell that represents Fall.

Micah: I wanna take my football.

Natalie: Ok, I guess that has something to do with Fall. How are you going to describe to your friends at school that football has to do with Fall?

Micah: All of the football players fall down on the field. Bloop, Bloop, Bloop.

Let The Countdown Begin

There's only 11 days left --5 more days of work --1 more weekend.

Silas Levi will be here in a week and a half, maybe sooner.

At my most recent visit to the doctor, he checked me and I've made zero --absolutely no --progress. So, the 26th will most likely be the day.

Cool Dude & Patches

Meet Cool Dude and Patches. They are the newest additions to our family.


In honor of Silas' upcoming arrival, we took Micah to Build-A-Bear to make Little Brother a welcome-to-the-family gift. And, well, we couldn't make one for Silas and not let Micah make one for himself too.
Micah paid very close attention to the stuffing lady. He added the heart and pressed the pedal that controlled the stuffing machine to fill Cool Dude, Micah's name for Little Brother's first teddy bear.

Patches was up next.

Daddy helped give them both a bath and pick out the clothes. Please note that Patches' outfit in the first photo above is a fishing outfit....figures.

Bring On Fall

My door is decorated and I'm hoping the rain storms coming across Texas make their way over our house and bring a little cool weather too.


I have to send out a HUGE "thank you" to the husband for helping me plant the daffodil bulbs, put fresh mulch down in all of the flower beds and buying these gigantic mums today!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Micah's Fall Portraits











I just thought I should mention that if you are interested in a great deal on portraits, Groupon has great deals on JCPenney Portrait Studio sessions. If you're familiar with Groupon, you know that they are great deals based on geographic locations. The JCPenney Portrait Groupons are even more fantastic because regardless of the city that is offering the deal, the coupons are good nation wide.
