Mine is bigger than yours!

That was a seriously good (and large) watermelon, too!

More from our 37 week (full term belly!) photo shoot...

My baby boy, wanting to pose with mama...

A family belly comparison...Lucy wants hers rubbed!

I LOVE my boys (and little Lucy, too!)

Sweetest Boys

Last night, Baba brought out his childhood memorabilia to share with the boys. It included a lot of sports memorabilia - from the World Series game in 1991, even! The kiddos were completely enamored by his stories and artifacts. I absolutely love these two photos - it captures the evening so well...big smiles, looks of awe...


Layla is a sweetie, too - well, at least we're manifesting that quality in her! She'll be joining us anytime in the next 4 weeks or so! Here's my monster belly after being pregnant for 36 weeks (yup - do the math - I am officially NINE months pregnant from now until I pop!)

Working on baby girl's room - she needed a little something to look at over her changing table - so I went to my usual place of inspiration (Pinterest) and found something similar to this and made it happen! I love the final product. I kind of want to put glitter on it, but I'm restraining myself....for now. :)

Just another shot to show you all how very sweet my boys are...snuggled up as close as they can be while they eat breakfast. There is room for four other seats at that counter, but this is where they choose to sit! These two have such a special relationship - absolutely makes my heart melt.

...and for good measure - here's what Mom is spending half her week dealing with. Any other baseball moms can relate, I'm sure! Time to buy stock in Oxyclean, Baba!

More latest and greatest...

Just some random shots to share from the past few weeks...

Ninja Matthew rediscovered his dress up bin.


Mama rests the belly beast while Andrew gets ready for baseball. LOVE our new  bedding/curtains. It's so cozy in our room now...figured I'd be awake in there more often in a few weeks, so we may as well make it look nice.


Silly boy is obsessed with Goldfish S'mores.


Andrew was starting pitcher at the opening of the season - his first 6 pitches were strikes. He struck the first two batters out! He also hit what would have been a triple (had he not *just* barely missed the first base plate) and was an amazing catcher when not pitching. So proud of our boy!

Some awesome video of Andrew's opening pitching...

The latest in Layla's room - I saw a butterfly mobile on Pottery Barn Kids, but it was $55 - I made this one for less than $15 and LOVE it!


34 week belly - still moving, walking, yoga, stretching - anything to keep this mama and baby heatlhy!

The latest and greatest...

The springtime in our neck of the woods is absolutely magical. Our afternoons are spent chasing chickens, tending the garden, jumping on the trampoline with friends and walking to the river to enjoy the sunshine.









Mama's getting big! 6 more weeks or so to go before little miss Layla joins the fun!
