Family Photos 2011

We just received our family photos from Jeremy Mabe.  Here are my favorite photos from the shoot:

You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get this shot!

I love how Caden is holding both of our hands.

We love our boys!

Caden's rocking chair was the perfect prop!

Our ham!

So small in Daddy's arms

I love everything about this--timeless!

Thank you again, Jeremy Mabe Photography!

And Then There Were Four

Every summer, since Caden was born, we have had our friend and photographer, Jeremy Mabe, take our family photos.  On Sunday, Jeremy took our first family photos as a family of four.  Believe it or not, before Sunday, we did not have one photo of the four of us together.  

Jeremy posted the following photo of us on Facebook as a "sneak peek." We absolutely love it and can not wait to see the rest of our photos.  If you live in Eugene, or the surrounding area, we highly recommend Jeremy Mabe Photography.  He is always prompt, relaxed, and professional.

Thank you Jeremy for capturing such special memories that we will one day be able to share with Caden and Carter's spouses and their children.

Caden meeting Carter for the first time!

37 Weeks. . .The Countdown Begins!

Tomorrow, I will be 37 weeks preggos. . .um, I delivered Caden at 37 weeks.  I am a "planner" and it is driving me cRaZy not knowing when Carter will arrive.  Will he arrive this week, next week, or closer to his due date?! I am measuring 39+ weeks, so this makes me think we could be meeting him VERY soon! I am just starting to feel uncomfortable and I remember delivering Caden not too long after I started feeling uncomfortable, but who knows. . .babies have minds of their own!

Yes, we are sure there is only "one". . .hopefully, anyway!

Two Months to Go. . .Maybe Less?

I forgot to have Colby take a seven month photo, so here I am just under eight months preggos (31 weeks).  Something tells me that Baby Carter is going to make his appearance before August 23rd. . .I sure hope so anyway!

Whoa belly!

Oh, Baby Boy! (Six Months Preggos)

I am almost exactly 25 weeks preggos.  Caden decided to surprise us three weeks early, so I keep wondering if this little guy will too. If so, our little guy could be joining our family in 12 short weeks. I am just trying to get through the end of the school year, then I will work on preparing for our little guy. . .I think we need to start with his name!   

He is definitely growing!

Believe it or not, I am smaller than I was with Caden. . .so far.

Frogs and Snails and Puppy-Dogs' Tails

In August, we are going to be welcoming another little boy into our family.  He is healthy and is growing perfectly.  We can't wait to meet him! (We are still deciding on his name.)

Half Way There! (20 Weeks Preggos)

Baby Work #2 is growing! I am now five months preggos.  It's difficult to believe that in four short months we will have a new little one to love.  I am still feeling pretty good.  Heartburn is my most miserable pregnancy symptom again as it was with Caden.  This time, it started at seven weeks! We find out next week whether Caden is going to have a little brother or a little sister.  With Caden, I really wanted a girl.  I would still love a girl, but after seeing how my brothers have become best friends, I would love for Caden to have a brother. . .even though he says he wants a baby sister (I think he just likes girls!).

My growing belly!

One Month Closer to Becoming a Family of Four

We are one month closer to becoming a family of four.  Today, I am almost exactly four months preggos.  So far, I still feel well and am starting to get some energy back.  We are going to have another strong little one--I can feel him or her kick and move around quite regularly now.  I am waiting patiently to find out whether we are sticking with blue or if we get to branch out and buy some pink!

Baby Bump!

And then there were four. . .

In August, we are going to be welcoming Baby Work #2 into our family! I am almost exactly three months preggos.  I don't really look preggos yet, just like I've just finished eating Thanksgiving dinner.  So far, all is well and we're patiently waiting to find out what we're having.
