What a wonderful Mother's Day!

Today was a great day! I got 2 beautiful cards, one from Christian and the other from my little boys. I also got a perfect gift. I got a coffee mug with Hunter's picture on it as well as some of my favorite coffee. I was thrilled! It was the best morning ever and the day just kept getting better! After Hunter's nap we went to Lake Erie Metro Park and Hunter chased some geese and played on the playscapes and we even got to walk down by the water for a short while. The baby has been really active today too. It is almost as if he does not want me to forget about him today. My boys have made my day one to remember for sure!

To the most amazing mom!!

This is a guest post from Christian :)

I just wanted to tell everyone what an incredible mom Katie is! With Small Fry on the way, Katie hasn't slowed down at all with anything, and is still there (all the time!) with Hunter keeping him happy at the same time.

I'm a very very very fortunate guy to have her be my wife! She's truly quite a model mom too!!

Many many thanks girl for doing what you do!! Your whole family is so grateful!! We love you!!!

Hanging in there!

This Sunday will mark 34 weeks for me!!! I went to see my OB today for a regular appt and to discuss a few things. Everything looks great with the baby. He is still head down and floating. His heartrate is wonderful and he is really active. All good things. Things are well with me too. I am still behind in the weight gaining compared to Hunter's pregnancy. I am also still stretchmark free!!! This is amazing!!! I love it! My OB wants me off my feet more. Hmmm...how on earth do you do that with a 2 year old??? Any suggestions? She is also guessing that I have about a month left until our next little man arrives. This was exciting to hear because that means I would go about 2 weeks early! However, I am well aware that babies arrive when they want not when a doctor says it will happen. So, with that said, Hunter's little brother will arrive on the day that he decides is a good day for his birthday. We will be thrilled with whatever day that happens to be. I will update again on the baby on May 22nd after my next appt. Then we should be down to weekly updates until he arrives!
On a different note, his nursery is complete! Christian purchased the closet doors yesterday and even put them up! So, when our little man makes his debute his room will be ready and waiting! It looks so cute too!

Just when you think...

Just when you think you have them figured out - BAM - they change things up on you! Hunter used to go to bed so easy for me. Not anymore. He will act like he is sleeping when he is not. However, for his Daddy things are totally different. He falls right asleep for him. Geesh, kids are always changing things. At least he goes to sleep easily for one of us! Christian is so good with him. Hunter sure is lucky to have a Dad that is so involved. Hunter's brother is lucky too. Heck, we are all lucky to have Christian in our lives. Christian, thank you for all that you do for us. You certainly make our lives complete!! We love you lots and lots!

Successful Weekend.

This past weekend was very successful and really productive! We got so much done! I was able to get out into my gardens and they look so much better! I love my gardens! Christian got all 3 lawns cut, edged and trimmed. Hunter loved trying to help his Daddy do that. Hunter also really enjoyed picking my tulips, especially the yellow ones. He kept walking around saying yellow as he held the tulip in his little hands. Really cute! Christian also got some more work done on the kitchen ceiling. It is really coming along quite nice. It should not be long now and it will be completed! I know that will make him happy and me too. We also picked out the closet doors for Hunter's little brother's room. Now all we have to do is purchase them and install them. That is another weekend project. Along with all the household chores and projects we were able to sneak some park time in at Bishop Park and lots of walks outside around our neighborhood. We were also able to celebrate my mom's birthday this past Friday. It was a great weekend!!!

Check him out!

Hunter adores the train at Babies-R-Us and here is a picture to prove it! Each and every time we go to that store he stops on his way in to play on it. Now, if only it would be "in order" he could actually ride it! Perhaps one day it will be working.

Happy Birthday MeeMaw!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEEMAW!!!

We are looking forward to helping you celebrate your special day!
