Other tidbits.... :)

A couple days ago, for the very first time, we saw Hammy kick. :) All of a sudden, "boing" and my stomach "boings" up and down. :) It was so cute! That was the day I felt had felt the baby move the most because I was sick, so had been lying down most of the day... that baby has the ability to be an active one. :)

James fixing the kitchen sink at the chapel - he's the resident plumber. :) I have his number in case I have any problems too - he's that good.

Well, that's about it for now - work is going well-love having Nelly around for this week, and we're enjoying spring and winter weather back and forth....and we're getting quite excited about Anne-Marie and Charissa's upcoming visit in about a month or so!

Our Ninth Month Anniversary

Well...just a quick update at last. :) We have been married for nine months already, and it's been absolutely awesome... :) To celebrate it, we dashed to a Thai resturant and had a delicious noodle meal before running to our weekly Bible Study (we're doing the Truth Project from Focus on the Family). It was very lovely and yummy, and one of my first official experiances with Thai food. We didn't manage to get a together shot, so we quickly got one of each of us eating. :)
James had Pad Thai with Shrimp, and I had Sweet Soy Noodles with Chicken. :) Once again, so thankful for each day that God gives us together.

Pictures from Tonight

Just thought I'd upload a couple pictures from today - I went maternity clothes shopping (well, actually material shopping) and came home with these cute baby items... :) and yes some material to hopefully make up a couple of skirts. :) But after stopping in at a baby consignment store, I couldn't pass up these adorable little clothes - and I'm not trying to choose pick pink over blue - this is just what I found this time. :)

The right sleeper has little squirrels over it - for Hammy if it's a girl, and for Hammy if it's a boy -all his blue and green sleepers are in the wash. :)
Not really a good profile picture because of my sweater, but I'm really growing - well, hopefully more baby than me. The little one loves to kick away, and I love it.

James and I tonight after coming home from Bible Study (we're going through the "Truth Project") - I had my hair cut this morning which was lovely.

Baby keeps moving... :)

Last night the baby was really kicking...so fun! :) It was the first time I could feel the little one kick on the outside of me. :) James can't feel Hammy yet, and every time he tries the baby just quiets down...I guess he/she knows authority when they feel it. :) Getting more and more excited about this little blessing...

Valentines Day!

This year was our first Valentines Day together, and it was absolutely wonderful. :) We both worked at the Windmill, and I got off earlier, so I went home and got our dinner together, and the table decorated for our special evening. :) And I got it all done, just as James walked in the door....

In the morning, when James picked me up for work, he brought me a dozen red roses....so sweet and so beautiful.

Our table, ready for James to return home.

Us two...
A bit of our dinner. Menu: Chicken Confetti Casserole, Salad with poppy seed dressings, toasted buns with cheese and parsely, and red jello adorned with cream cheese/whipped topping and strawberries.

Our dessert - Strawberry Pavlova... which was quite yummy.

About to demolish our dessert. :) James also brought me a special gift in the evening - a baby name book, with 30,000 baby names in it, and some chocolate... :) We started going through it that night - should be fun! We may end up with a very interesting name... :)

So blessed to have James as my forever Valentine.

More on our home

We were so surprised last weekend, when William dropped by with a wedding gift from Marvin and Marlene. :) They blessed us with a beautiful 7' artificial tree which adorns our living room, making it cozy and so perfect. I had wanted a tree for the living room for a while, but we couldn't find one we liked, but this one is perfect. Thanks Marv and Marlene!!!
Our living room. :)

It offsets our piano perfectly. :)

Some Things Around Our House...

Just wanted to show you around our home...our baby's cradle (stored in the guest room) and a project I did. Doesn't the cradle look adorable - just can't wait until our little one is in it!

With some blankets in it from mom.... :)

And the 'creative' project I did last week. :) I took our wedding vows and typed them out, put our picture between the vows, framed it, and hung over our bed so we can be reminded of the vows we made to each other every day.

The final project- up close. :)

This afternoon my husband surprised me with a sweet note. :) Heather dropped it off in a little bakery box, and I opened it to find a lovely cookie made for me by my own personal baker. :) It was so yummy.
