Ya think...

I was putting some things away in Grayson and Caden's rooms, and this is what I found...

Do you think that my child might like the bathtub???

Making room for brother...

Sorry it's been a while since the last post...getting back into the swing of school and weekly doctor appointments are keeping us pretty busy!! This weekend, Frank and I have been have lots of fun (not really!!) cleaning out the spare room. It's amazing how much stuff can accumulate in an unused room! But it must be done so that our design team (a.k.a. Mom and Gale) can get started on the nursery because Grayson will be making his appearance before we know it!! I had an ultrasound on Thursday, and everything is looking right on track with Grayson. He is quite the active little booger which makes keeping him on the fetal monitor for 30 minutes a real adventure (I'm also doing this weekly at my appointments). Friday night we went to dinner with Papa and then to Lowe's to pick up a few things. This was Caden's first time to ride in the cool car cart. He thought it was quite fun...especially when he discovered that he could throw items from the diaper bag into the cart one by one!

Caden and I were going to venture back to church this weekend, but he has had a VERY gross nose. I don't want to be "that mother" who infects all of the other children in the nursery!! Maybe next week!! We haven't been since we were in the hospital in November...Mommy is REALLY missing it!!! So instead, Caden decided to take the new toy basket in the living room for a test drive. I think he approves!!

Nursery Bedding...

We got the nursery bedding yesterday!! It's totally different from what I thought we would end up doing, but I love it!! AND it's completely different from Caden's room (which I really wanted). We haven't decided what else we're doing with the room (wall color, canvases, etc.), but I think we're going to go with black furniture...I'm so excited!! Here it is...it's called "Alphabet Soup...":

Christmas Happenings...

We're finally getting settled back into our normal routine after lots of family Christmas get togethers. It was a great Christmas, and we feel truly blessed to have such wonderful families!! The festivities began on Christmas Eve at my grandmother's house, but I forgot to take the camera inside, so the pics start later that evening. I was making the green beans to take to my mom's house on Christmas day, and I had to fry an entire package of bacon, but I HATE for my house to smell like bacon for days. I heard someone talking about having their husband fry bacon ouside...GENIUS!!! Because I have such a fabulous husband, he agreed to help me out. It worked perfectly...I had my bacon complete with drippings, AND the house didn't smell like bacon!!
Here the festivities continue at our house on Christmas morning. Here is Caden looking at what Santa brought. He still doesn't really understand what is going on, but he will.

Fun ball.

Notice the "Ooo" shape of his mouth. He made this sound all day anytime he was given a gift...it was really cute!

Playing with the giggle and go garage...

Then we continued on to my parents' house for Christmas with my family and lunch with a LOT of family. He LOVED that lawn mower.

After lunch we continued our festivities by heading up to Columbus to visit with Frank's family. Frank's dad gave his mom this little bug that crawls around on its own...Caden was absolutely fascinated!!!!

The Three Musketeers...do we see a BIT of a resemblance????
(Frank Jr, Caden, Frank Sr)

Poor Daddy...he was worn out from all the festivities!! He wasn't ready to get up the next morning...but he did in the end!

And one final pic...this one was from tonight. We went to dinner tonight and Caden decided to feed daddy some of his ice cream. Notice he's showing Daddy how to open his mouth properly (I do the same thing when I feed Caden!).

Grayson also got a check-up today. Everything is looking good with him, and now I'm going to the doctor every 2 weeks...CRAZY!!! It seems weird that we're already to 2 week appointments...so exciting! I can't wait to meet this new little one!

Santa Clause is coming to town...

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Here are some pics of the cutest Santa EVER!!! (Ok, so I know I'm a little biased, but I'm his mom...I get to be biased!!!)

It's a shame he's not a happy person!

The cutest elves you ever did see...

Caden's teacher, Ms. ImaSue, sent this to me last night. It is hoot!!! If you can't tell, Caden is the one on the left...ImaSue is on the right. LOVE IT!!!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ELVES!!!

Who's stealing my job???

This morning when we got to school, we were running a little behind, so Caden had to come to my classroom with me because I had early morning duty. He had lots of fun sitting at my desk and playing with my timer. He would push the buttons and then talk into it like it was a phone. The kids LOVED having him in the room for a little while!!
He looks so official!!
