dear shell,

dear me,

we know you can be over the top dramatic and overemotional at times and the extra hormones right now don't help this problem either
but have faith
everything will work out as it should
you can't have everything all at once that would be no fun.....
remember how long it took to meet joe
very long but it was so worth it
and boo and luke were so worth the wait too
and quit calling yourself "old"
you may be slightly over the age of 30 but take heart
at 5 months pregnant you actually weigh a good 15 pounds lighter then you did on your wedding day
which means you are on the right track!

wedding vows

i adored my simple outdoor wedding and i decided long ago deep within my "whimisical-thought- process-of-an-imagination" that when joe and i were done having children we would gather them and renew our vows in an impromptu kind of way.....
i like the princess and the pea idea and of courses everyone loves horses at a wedding.....but mine would be miniature of course

baby luke inspiration

these are all the images that make me think of baby luke
i bought him the cloud toy and i love the bird cage and bassinet
the outfit is from kohls and the alphabet is from etsy
next up is conquering the nursery
we can't wait to meet him

happy fathers day

happy fathers day to Papa, Poppy, and Joe!
3 of the best
we are all more blessed because of them!

nursery inspiration

i just adore baby rooms especially when they are occupied with a cute baby!
the star rug is so magical......

unanswered prayers

"Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care
Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."

I just adore this quote

paul anka

this scan was taken at 8 weeks.
and it is true that one of the "bonus" perks of expecting a baby is having your husband sing Paul Anka songs to you
thanks Joe
