Train tables, books & new room!

Last week Liam got a train table! He was overjoyed. We have somehow found a way to make him even more crazy about trains. Hope it's not anything he grows out of too soon, as our entire house is literally covered in trains!


We just got back from a trip to Hanford. My grandmother's beautiful service, where we sent her to be with God was on Friday.  It was a lovely ceremony and just what I needed for closure. I know now that my grandmother's spirit has been set free and I'll hear from her again soon. And one day (hopefully in the far future) I will see her again!

Saturday night, my best friend's mama stopped by to drop off Liam's Christmas gift (my friend lives in Nevada, where she attends PA school! I'm so proud of her). It was nice to see her mother, who I have not visited with in years. I hope to see you too Linds, real soon. Until then, here are some shots of Liam opening his gifts.

A big thank you again and again for being so thoughtful. I'll let you know how the record-a-story goes this week (we'll be doing one night without daddy!). I'm sure Liam will be thankful that Dada is still able to read him a story before bed! What a generous and thoughtful gift... we are so blessed to have you in our lives!







Speaking of train obsessions, we are making progress in Liam's big boy room. My mother in law finished his valance and pillowcase. We added some wallpaper, a shelf (grandpa--do you recognize it?) and wall decals. Liam was so excited to see it last night!

Up next... his bed skirt (grammy) and a Thomas bed (grandma). Did I mention how BLESSED we are to have so many wonderful people in our lives? Thanks to Uncle & Aunt Remillard we have a toy box made with love, thanks to Grandpa Snowden we have a bookshelf and wall shelf made with love. Thanks to grammy and grandma we have the makings of a fabulous toddler room for the biggest train lover I know. We also have train sets, train attire and accessories to complete the vibe courtesy of Aunt & Uncle Avila, Auntie Kimber and GG.

Liam's room is literally filled with love and thoughtfulness. Hugs to all of you for making it so!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby We Conceived...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been! I remember taking the pregnancy test a few weeks before Halloween. Crazy to believe this Halloween I'll be dressing up my 4 month old sweet lil' pumpkin! The very excited parents-to-be Halloween 2009.   Halloween 2010: Our family of 4, is now 5 (hoping to get our updated Halloween photo this year!). Thank you Liam for completing me Here's to another beautiful year with our precious Liam David.
