DeJa Vue

Sooo I am kind of in denial we are actually doing this again. I have fought god on this for quite a while.

But... We are back on the market.

It's been a week and we have had 4 showings... Total god thing... We have no sign in our yard and no mls number. Just trusting The Lord will send the right person or family.

We have done a lot of work recently to make the house most appealing to the largest amount of people.

Sorry I have been slacking in that way but here is the hopefully, prayerfully, final home tour of this place!

Will you join me in praying for us trusting the lords timing and for The Lord to bless the finances of whoever he has to purchase our house.

Be back with baby posts!!!

A New Lamp

These days its the little things...

Like finally finding a new lamp I LOVE for the nursery.

I love it!!

And of course its the Threshold collection from Target. 

I don't seem to make it into many other stores these days.

This is what it looks like with the rest of the changing area.

A Mother's Day Treat

I thought I would take the weekend off and spend time with my kiddies, but before I do I wanted to share what we are doing for my mom for Mother's Day.

We commissioned a piece of artwork by a friend, she also happens to be an incredible artist!!

Meet Katie Toombs.

She is Amazing!!!

Not only is she an artist cranking out work right and left, but a mommy to 4 little ones! 

I don't know how she does it.

Here is a sampling of a recent art show that was held this spring.

how precious is this painting?

*side story: Our church is making plans to try and move the original historic chapel from its original location onto the current church property. Katie is commissioning these pieces and a portion of the funds will go to restoring the chapel and getting it placed on current church property.

Thanks again Katie! We will share a picture once we get it hung!!

A Trip to the Childrens Museum

Recently daddy had a day off from work so we ventured to the children's museum.

We had a blast taking brother for the first time and can't wait to take the new baby soon!

and this picture confirms 100% why I want arm lipo....

April in Review

We are starting the single digit countdown to baby. I have been sewing, cleaning, organizing and cleaning some more to get ready for baby.

C bear is 15 months old and still just 21 pounds!

His lack of heftiness is made up for in energy as determination! This little booger keeps me busy!!!

Here is a snapshot of our month in review!!

Having Dr. T check our ears and adenoids after our surgery.

Baby number 3 just growing away!!

Sister with her house at schoolbus at the preschool art show!

Afternoon snacks at target

This crazy fella has been quite the helper as we finish up working on the screened in porch!

So deep in thought to be 15 months old!

A Table for Six

One of the things I wanted to make sure we had before baby was more than 4 chairs around our table.

I spotted this chair at a local store a while back and have been watching it.

Doesn't match my other chairs perfectly but when I went in last weekend and they were on super clearance for $21.00 a piece I knew I could chalk paint them to match the table!!!

Can't wait to start the painting process!
