More Pics from Spencer's Birthday

As promised....some videos from Spencer's Bday!

Thanks to Laurie for her professional videography skills!! These videos are a little long but cute-especially the one where we sing Happy Birthday to Spencer. Please ignore the very large woman in the jeans and flowered shirt...someone needs to tell that poor woman to stop drinking so many milkshakes!! :)
More pictures to come of Spencer's birthday and Madeline's nursery!

Time of Change

So I know that it's been ANOTHER month since I posted anything here and again-I'm sorry and I know no one really wants to listen to me-they just really want to see pictures. I promise this weekend-pictures will get posted. My, oh my, how time flies and how life changes so quickly...we have been very busy trying to get ready for Madeline, moving Spencer over to his "big boy" room and celebrating Spencer's 2nd birthday and Easter. Madeline's nursery is done-we just have to put up her clothes and organize her closet (it's that the story of life of a woman??). I must say that I am very impressed with Michael's paint job and my delegation of work! Michael did such a great job painting and putting up the BABY chandelier-yes, I did say chandelier-but it's just so perfect in there. Anyway-I wander into to that room after Spencer's asleep and think-did WE really create this pretty room?? I'm kinda of impressed...seems like it was yesterday when I was waiting for Spencer to get here and I would just sit in his room and dream about him....I can't wait to meet my daughter.
Spencer is doing fantastic...I was so nervous about moving my baby boy over to a new room but he is adjusting just fine and seems to love jumping in his bed at night. He is so funny right now-imitating words and forming his own "opinions".
Michael is plowing ahead with graduation school and making GREAT grades. I think he's decided that he never, EVER, wants to paint another nursery.
And me-well-I went to the doctor yesterday for my 34 week check up and after talking about baseball and going to different baseball parks-I asked my OB how I was measuring and his reply was "BIG-your belly measurement is 40 weeks!" So, needless to say-I don't think we are going to make it to May 15th but I'm going to do my best.
So-I promise pictures this weekend.....

More snow pictures

Snow pictures and chocolate

March 1st 2009

Well, we finally got some snow this year and boy did we get some snow. I'd say there was about 3 inches in our front yard. Spencer enjoyed it in small burst. When he got to cold or wet-he was ready to go in. Hailey, on the other hand-LOVED IT!

A month???? Really??

Good Grief-has it really been a MONTH since I posted anything?? I know all of you having been holding your breath to find out what has been happening to our family! :)
It's been a pretty fun month. These are just some pictures that we have taken from the last month. We got to visit with Elmo. Spencer was more interested in the Thomas the train set at the toy store than with Elmo. He was a little leery as you can see from the pictures. Since Christmas-the highchair has gone away and Spencer is sitting at the table like a big boy. Don't even ask about the cheerleading outfit!!! And finally-the big event: My mom was queen of my dad's mardi gras crew: Le Cavelier's. Mom looked absolutely stunning and we all had such a great time. To see more pictures-click on Annie Barclay or Anna Lauren Calvert. Anyway, those events have kept us pretty busy!
This weekend, I started searching for material for Madeline's nursery!!! Loved looking at all that pink and green! So, we are getting ready for that and also all the upcoming birthdays. Spencer has really started talking and expressing himself. His new favorite word is "mommy" and he has figured out that it gets him pretty much anything he wants!!
I do keep thinking that this period of our lives is quickly coming to an end and I worry a little about having time and energy for two kiddos. How much time will I have to hold Spencer, to play cars with him, to read him his stories at night? So, forgive me if another month goes by and you are again holding your breath-I'm just soaking in some quiet moments with my precious little man...
