Saturday night...

Since our purchase of our home, we are now on a stricter budget...no more Saturday night dinners out on the town!

Instead we choose to bake a dozen or so cupcakes, pull out every bottle of sprinkles in the pantry and this is what you get....

And for the record, our Saturday nights are MUCH more fun!

Our New Home!

Now, after months of negotiating, signing papers, PRAYING, getting appraisals done, water tests done, and waiting for the closing date....I can officially say THIS is our new home.....

Does it look familiar?? Yes, yes it is the house directly behind us (we like the neighborhood).

We moved in just yesterday, and we are so happy to be here!

More pictures to come when all of the boxes disappear!

It's a....

So much to update, so little time! But in the meantime we found out a couple of weeks ago that we are expecting a

BOY!!!!

Coming mid May!

Positive!

Two weeks ago our family was surprised with a POSITIVE pregnancy test! Since this was a total surprise, we went to the doctor the very next day to confirm this news.

And the doctor confirmed, I was soon to be 6 weeks pregnant!

We are calling this our little miracle, since we were doing everything to prevent this from happening, but God knows what he is doing and we are ecstatic!!

Other than some mild morning sickness and the general pregnant feeling of being tired all of the time, I am doing great!

Here are some prayer requests:

1. Please pray that God will show us where we need to live after the baby is born, we love our little house, but it is only 2 bedrooms and Addie is getting crammed!

2. Please pray that we can find someone to watch the new addition while I work, it is not feasible for one of us to stay home and we both enjoy our jobs. I really don't want to place the new addition in daycare at such a young age, but will if it becomes necessary.

3. Please pray for a better job for hubs, he loves his job, but it is becoming more and more physically demanding on him.

4. Please pray for a healthy baby, pregnancy and delivery. Please also pray for Addison as she adjusts from life as an only child.

Thanks for everyone's support!

Solid Orange Friday!

Football season is upon us!! If you remember, every Friday during football season is dedicated to Solid Orange Friday, so that we can remember to pull our tigers through on Saturday!

Addison is ready....

The Bird Feeder

I know that I've mentioned for the millionth time that I just adore Addison's pre school. Seriously, they are GREAT!! She was SO excited to come home on Tuesday and hang her new bird feeder, beside the bird house that she made at pre - school this past summer. She was so cute, that I had to document her excitement!!

Labor Day Fireworks!

Normally, labor day weekends are spent in Clemson, SC, but since our tigers were playing Troy ( yeah, I don't know who they are) we decided to have a stay-cation this year.

Luckily, our town was having a free fireworks show on Sunday evening, so we went!

We arrived a little early (okay an hour and a half early) to get the "right spot". Should I mention that before arriving we had a not so great meal at Subway and we gave our child coke to drink...
(Gasp all you want) So, needless to say she was bouncing off of the walls and there was nothing for her to do except sit and play her Leapster.... so we walked across the street to Jelly Belly and bought her a ginormous colorful sucker....

yeah, so she could have more sugar and bounce around and make silly faces....

The fireworks finally began and they were gorgeous! We had a great time, we even sang songs at the top of our lungs and have our "firework neighbors" give us strange looks.
