Slow Days!

Life on our homefront has been pretty mellow the last few days as Marshall has had a little bug. The cough and really runny nose has been sad to watch! So we've stayed indoors for the most part, playing and watching movies! Shrek 2 was the only animated movie I had and I was so sick of it so we borrow a couple from my neighbor. 'Cars' has now become the new favorite around here!
The nice thing about sick kids is that they take long naps! Marshall slept for 3 1/2 hours the other day! That NEVER happens! He woke up after 2 1/2 hours and I brought him out on the couch with me only to have him keep sleeping for another hour! It was awesome. I documented it with these pics because I'm sure that will never happen again!
I've also decided to start potty training! We'll see how it goes. We got some Seasame Street underwear today and he's gone on the potty twice now. I'm sure I'll have my messes to clean up but he's so interested in it and I don't want to miss that!
This morning Matt had an early meeting and brought me coffee in bed after his meeting! I love that man! So all three of us sat in bed talking for a while, us with our coffee and Marshall of course with his milk! I love surprise family time! More updates about baby girl next time!

The belly!

So I thought I would finally put up a pic of the belly! Here we are in all our glory! I'll be 6 months this coming week! It's going too fast. I'm trying to soak up all the time I can one on one with Marshall right now. I know we'll never have this time back:) We've been going on little dates a lot. We went to Starbucks yesterday for a bit and sat in the bar level chairs and the barista gave Marshall his own little cup of whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles! Needless to say he was thrilled! The realization that it won't be the two of us during the day much longer is starting to sink in. I'm thrilled to have another baby but I really want to enjoy this time as much as possible!

Friday night fun!

Just snapped this pic of the little man enjoying another part of the tool kit he got for Christmas...I love this age!
Also tonight we decided to take a little family date to Dairy Queen. We let Marshall have his own little cone and he loved it. He was having fun with the ice cream but got very serious when it came time to eat the cone. He finished off the whole thing!
Not a whole lot else going on here right now. Just watching my belly get bigger! Maybe I'll post some prego pics soon!

A little bit of this and that...

Hello hello! As we begin this new year it's crazy to think of all the changes that are up and coming for our little family. Not only are we adding a little baby girl to our family, Matt's brother Tim got engaged on Christmas eve to an incredible girl named Holly! We are so excited and looking forward to a fun wedding in July. In the mean time we are looking to move out of our sweet little studio and into a place with more room. We are looking at a house in the area but we'll see what happens. You could pray for the right place for us if you thought of it! God has been so good to us over this last year. I have learned so much about how He is my provider. I am excited to see all that our new year holds!
I also just wanted to take a minute and show you the humor I find daily in Marshall's antics. Our friend left his coffee mug here at our house a while ago and Marshall found it and thought it would make an excellent holder for his sippie cup:)

This is Marshall in the morning. He loves to put shoes on with his diaper and he also loves to put his socks on his hands to double as gloves. Go figure. Such a proud smile to go with his outfit! Hope you're laughing.
