My goal is to take a picture every Sunday to see how I am growing. This Sunday was really busy and then I had a dead camera battery. Next picture there might not be much progress. :)

So long sweet summer

Summer is on it's way out and fall is headed in. It's currently 85 degrees, but I refuse to turn the air on! I'm hoping this is the last "hot" day of the year. I'm ready for crisp fall air, crunchy leaves and hot drinks. I also am determined not to wear any summer maternity clothes! 

Here's some of my favorite snapshots of the last couple months. 

Happy fall, y'all!

March 30th, 2014

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him. Psalm 127:3

We are thrilled to announce that the Lord is blessing us once again. Almost exactly a year after I miscarried, we found out that I am pregnant. God, once again, is telling us He is in control. His plan is much better than ours. Tuesday, we got to see our baby, moving and growing. We feel soo blessed. 

Baby is due March 30th!

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis...

But we didn't go to the fair. :) Dan and I had a quick little getaway this week. I found a really good Groupon for a nice hotel in St. Louis that was literally right across the street from Busch stadium.  We dropped the kids off with some friends on Thursday morning and headed east. 

Our hotel was the Westin.

The hotel was amazing. I took a bath and a shower, because I couldn't decide which one I wanted to do. 

We walked around the arch a bit and then enjoyed a great baseball game. The weather was unbelievable. For end of July in St. Louis, you expect 100 degree heat. You don't expect to get a little chilly at night!

The next day we ate an amazing breakfast buffet, went to a science museum and took a chocolate factory tour. You can imagine what my favorite part was. :)  

We were told the girls were great while we were gone, and that always makes it easier to leave them behind. It was short, but sweet. It was just the little retreat we both needed.
