It went by TOO fast......

But we sure did have a blast! This summer was great. With Levi's school/work schedule this summer, we got some great family time in. I also feel very blessed to have had this time at home to relax and rest during the harder/sicker part of my pregnancy. Wednesday play dates, pool time, snowcones, sleeping in, catching up with friends and family, a more relaxed schedule......these are just a few of the things I will miss. But I am ready for fall and the whirlwind that is about to take place!! Noah will start his new preschool (which is just a couple miles from my school). It's very structured and focused, so I'm excited to see how he does there. Levi will start his new schedule of working full time during the day and then having class Monday through Thursday from 6-9:30. I've tried to really get us organized to make it easier, including file folders for each month with written out meal plans for each week and grocery lists already made out. I also went ahead and bought birthday cards for throughout the year, and have them addressed and stamped, ready to go in each month's folder. So no one better move!! ;) In the midst of all that, we will be getting ready for munchkin #2!

Here are some pics from our busy summer!

Noah's Message

Noah wanted to share:



We are so excited to be expecting baby #2 on January 2!! It is going to be a crazy next few months. I'll be going back to work in the fall in Coppell, Noah starts a new little preschool for 3-5 year olds (right by my school), and Levi will be working full time and doing class Mon-Thurs evenings until 10! He should finish up law school in December and will take the bar in Feb., and then hopefully be figuring out where he wants to be working after everything!! I'm sure baby #2 will just slide right into all of that, sleeping through the night after just a couple of weeks and being a perfect little angel, right?! All of you moms of more than one, don't tell me any differently right now!!
We had an early sono last week at 13 weeks and they detected.......little boy again! They told us that when Noah was 13 weeks also. It was pretty clear, unless we are seeing something else. Which is possible, so we will find out for sure at the beginning of August!

I have about 4 or 5 outtakes of Noah doing this little video, which I think are cuter/funnier than the "good" one, so I'll post those in another post.

3 Years old!

Noah turned 3 on May 14. We celebrated his birthday the next weekend. It was very simple and low key, just out at the park/pool by our house. He did want a dinosaur cake though, so I attempted a Betty Crocker dinosaur cake from a template online, and it actually turned out pretty cute. It just started to melt though as soon as we went outside!! Levi filled up water balloons which took him over an hour to fill up. I think they were gone in about 2 minutes! Noah loved them though. I still can't believe he is 3 years old already! It just amazes me how fast time goes!
