Daddy and daughter....

Also here is some never-seen before footage of the amazing Savannah (in utero of course)!!

Good news

Proverbs 15:30

³⁰ A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.

Today was my first NST (non-stress test) for Savannah.

She was very well behaved and actively kicked around for all to see that she is happy where she is and not coming out today! All fluids were normal, heart rate was varied (a good thing) and movement was wonderful too.

Then the ultrasound tech let me see her face. She just kept the wand over her face and I got to see her open and close her little eyes and yawn and open and close her mouth, it was amazing! She is so pretty!

We are so excited to meet our little girl...we've been sitting around at night dreaming of her and talking about what she will be like and what it will be like with Kate as the big sister.

I am in love with her already!

EWWWEY!! YUCK!

This morning, while busy cleaning, we had just finished brushing our teeth. Kate brushes a little longer than me usually (she likes to chew on her brush, what kid doesn't?)

Well, I noticed that Kate had some water on her hands and in her tooth brush and wasn't sure where it was from until I did some detective work and found drops of water on the toilet seat....

there is no other place it could've come from...

It's official, Kate brushes her teeth with toilet water.

Awesome.

Here is a pic of Kate on Cinco de Mayo at a Biola party luncheon.

Thanks Ruth!

Michael just returned from a weekend retreat, leaving Thursday afternoon and returning home Sunday afternoon. Although it's hard to be apart, it is well worth the time investment.

As a blessing from a friend, he got to go to Hume lake and be encouraged in His faith and His leadership of our home. And as for me and Kate, we got real thankful real fast...as hard as I try not to take my husband for granted, a weekend apart always makes me realize that I just do naturally. I am spoiled, and I am the first to admit. I am treated like a queen and when my king isn't home, he is greatly missed!

Welcome home honey! We missed you!!

The guys had a great time, catching 50 fish in one day (it was a Fisherman's conference). I think this is Michael's 3rd time going and he just loves it!. They do paint-ball and apparently they eat like royalty...

The following photos are by Rick Laird. Aren't they awesome! This was the sunset the guys saw on the way up to the conference. It was snowing and the sun was reflecting off the white snowy trees.

Kate kept me very busy while her daddy was gone...but we had a nice time together.

Every day is an adventure with this little one...here is Kate practicing her "'emotion" faces. Hilarious!

Not much else going on here, Savannah is kicking wildly within and I am going about doing my little nesting tidbits...like a little mother hen. I have been sewing non- stop. Right now I am working on a car seat canopy. Should be fun.

More later.
