counting down...

These pictures were from this past weekend, but i am so far behind blogging that i have to post them before it the count down is yet another week closer... ahhh! time is going so fast, but also so slow...

we cannot wait for this babe to arrive! lots of posts to come...

hanging around

we are so lucky to have such sweet friends in town... meet charlie. it is so much fun to get mini previews of what life may be like this time next year. we imagine much hanging around outside with our baby boy. thankfully, we have miller and charlie to do that with until then.

photos with the bump

our dear friend christine is an extremely talented photographer. it has been such an amazing experience to be able to watch her passions and gifts turn into a business. she has such an incredible ability to create an atmosphere that people feel comfortable, relaxed, encouraged, and able to be themselves in front of the camera. everything that she captures becomes such a piece of art, as she has such a special eye for specific moments and frames. if you have not already done so, you need to check out her blog asap- www.christinelegrandphotographyblog.com

beyond her talent in photography, christine has one of the biggest hearts on the planet. i am constantly blessed by our friendship and i am beyond thankful for her. she continued to encourage me to mark these moments of pregnancy with photos, and i am so lucky to have them. i know looking back, i will be so thankful to remember this journey with drew before we meet our first, sweet little babe... already looking at the pictures, it seems like a lifetime ago- but it was only a couple months ago at 27 weeks in.

meet christine...

with so much to look forward to, we are trying to live in every moment. we are trying to cherish our last 6 weeks together just the two of us, and it is truly a special time.

backtracking... getting things ready

back in march, around st. patrick's day, i had such a sweet moment working with english language learners in kindergarten. the students had an assignment to bring in a green snack and there was a list of food such as: grapes, apples, jello, celery, sour cream and onion chips, etc... and a student melted my heart when he brought in this literal translation:

also, around this time, when there were only about 10 weeks left before baby fisher arrives...

we began getting down to business on the house/nursery work in preparation for the babe. drew bought and installed new blinds...

we found a matching piece of furniture that we refinished and painted:

and i got busy sewing a creation that will go over fisher's crib using the fabric of the pillows:

32 weeks and updates

phew, there are a lot of neglected blog posts that deserve documenting... i have to start somewhere, so here are the first pictures i found on the computer (more to come soon). we have loved the spring weather (wishing that it would stay below 75 more often) and have been able to spend a lot of time outside relaxing with little miss luna after school each day.

a couple weekends ago, we were able to celebrate my brother's birthday in gainesville when he surprised us with a wonderful visit. it was so incredible- i was on the phone with him singing happy birthday as he was pulling on our street after a drive through the night from virginia to surprise us. it was so great to see him and spend quality time with the birthday boy...

kenny was on a mission to see the baby bump before little mister entered the real world.

of course, he brought luna's best friend- mojo:

we took the dogs to the lake to enjoy the saturday and luna took her first ride in the back of drew's truck!

here are the 32 week bump pictures to document baby fisher's growth...

and just look at this handsome man. he deserves some solo camera time too-crossing my fingers that fisher will look a lot like him...
