we brought in the new year with some friends at the turner's house, or at least we almost made it to the new year there. we came home a bit early and once the clock struck 12 i was ready for bed. i know, i know, i am getting old and being pregnant doesn't help.
matt and i were blessed to have one more week off of school and we spent it not doing any of things we said we needed to do. audrey's nursery needs to be cleared out, painted, and made ready for her arrival. a task that still has not been started!! i also intended on doing a lot more lesson planning and maternity planning for school! instead of getting things done, we slept, played with liam, and generally rested and relaxed. not too shabby!
with one week of school under our belt we are getting back into the swing of things. i can honestly say that i hate having to set my alarm. it is so much better to wake up to your little boy talking and babbling from his crib. but all in all we can't complain. our schedules allow us so much freedom, now all we have to do is learn to use that time a bit more wisely. i have to admit that even when i know i have to get stuff done, if i see that couch, it is so inviting and so easy to just walk over, flop down, and not get up for an hour or two!!
liam is getting so big and i swear that he grows an inch every time i turn around. he is talking and silly and completely wonderful!! i hope he is ready for little audrey's arrival! he can say her name and sometimes gets that mommy has a baby in her belly, but mostly he is oblivious. he is putting together short sentences and we are constantly amazed at how much he understands and learns everyday. we are so blessed, and we cannot wait to see what our little girl audrey will be like!
okay, so enough with the shmultz and mush! here a few miscellaneous pictures from the last few weeks. liam did get an actual hair cut the other day and it went pretty well, a few tears here and there, but overall he did great. jacob, liam's cousin, had a birthday and a great birthday party at a gymnastics place. i am also throwing in one or two more from our christmas in charleston, just because they are so great!
i hope that this new year finds you healthy, happy, and blessed!
1, 2, 3, weeeee!!!!
we are a little afraid of the scissors!!
i still have my cute curls!!
having fun at jacob's birthday party!
hey, i'm right there with you... not a thing done to the nursery yet and enjoyed just laying around that week after christmas! i think we all needed the extra rest. i'm just impressed ya'll actually stayed up till midnight... we hit the sack at 11:00! :) Liam sounds like he's getting so big... don't you just love their talking?! hope you're feeling good and we'll get everything done, eventually. :)
ReplyDeleteI think taking time to rest is just as important and getting things done! And I'm glad Liam still has his curls!! :)
