It started off with a boy and a girl. When they first started hanging out, the girl got butterflies in her stomach. They dated, they got engaged, and they got married. There have been happy times and sad times, but the girl still gets butterflies. Now they have added to their family. They have their angels Brady and Henry watching over them, and their fur-babies Sebastian, Murphy and Charlie to keep things interesting. Enjoy these pictures, as a peek into the daily life of our family.

Henry's New Car

After a couple weeks in the shop, we finally got Henry's new car back. It got a remote starter, tinted windows, and some dings fixed. Once we got it home we installed the car seat. Now it's all ready for Henry!

Living room wall

We finally got around to decorating our living room wall.  We used some pictures we took of the house before we moved in!!

Cuddling momma and Henry

Sebastian has found a niche where he can cuddle momma and Henry at the same time!

Happy Birthday, Brady!

It certainly isn't how you envision celebrating your child's first birthday, but we tried to make the most of the day. We brought flowers and a balloon to Brady to wish him happy birthday. Then we had an appointment where we got to see Brady's little brother, and treated ourselves to lunch at Famous Dave's. It was nice that Tim took the day off and we could spend it together. We're lucky to have such a special angel looking over us!

Playing around

Just a little selfie of our puppy and me hanging out today. He's such a goofball...I, on the other hand, am completely normal...

Lots of goodies for Henry

Like I said, we've been very blessed with generous gifts from family and friends! Here are just a few of the fun things we got for Henry...we can't thank everyone enough not only for the gifts, but for all of the positive thoughts and prayers. I truly believe that has helped us get this far, and will help us bring a healthy baby into the world. 

From yesterday...

Yesterday was a busy day! Jamie and Leslie threw a very "Erin-style" shower for baby Henry. We're getting pretty well set for his arrival, thanks to the generosity and thoughtfulness of friends and family near and far. We'll have more pictures of some of the loot for "today's" post!

I gotcha Henry!

Sebastian is just lovin' on Henry a little. I hope he likes Henry as much when he's on the outside!!

All Spiffed Up!

I think Sebastian may be suffering a little separation anxiety after months of nearly non-stop mommy time. He was not too happy when he was dropped off at the pet spa! But he survived, and came home looking handsome.

This is MY Spot!

You've gotta be careful in this house about leaving your seat. You may come back to find a furball has taken your place. And he's so darn cute it's hard to make him move...

Play Time!

I've never really played tug with Sebastian-he's never seemed too interested. Tonight, though, he couldn't get enough! (Until it was nap time, of course.)

Happy St. Patricks's Day!!

It may become our yearly tradition...Shamrock shakes on St. Patrick's Day. Being pregnant does limit green beer consumption, but green ice cream fills the void just fine! :)

A few more nursery improvements

We were busy this weekend! We got a lot of little things done around the house, including getting some organization done in the nursery. Tim and his brother Will got our Foscam hung on the wall so we can see Henry in his crib from our computers or even our phones! We can also hear him or talk to him through the camera...crazy technology. Thanks to Grandpa Jim for this fun toy!

I'll Get You!

The squirrels are back! There was one sitting in this tree just taunting Sebastian. Now he really wants to learn to climb so he can get those squirrels...

Working on my tan!

Somebody, who wasn't feeling too well last night and this morning, is feeling much better this afternoon. And he's taking full advantage of the nice weather by spending a little time in the yard.

Napping with my boys

Tim caught me sneaking a little nap last night, cuddling with my boys <3 Love all of my boys (Tim and Brady included, too, of course!)

Mom, You Always Hog the TV...

The other day Sebastian thought he should be in charge of the remote. Apparently he didn't approve of my show choices...

Little Additions to the Nursery

We've added a few little things to the nursery. It's feeling more complete-now it just needs a baby!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

We took a rare outing to celebrate our one year anniversary. We went back to Upstream, where we had a reception lunch with our families after we got married. It tasted just as good as we remembered!!

Lunchtime...fun...?

Tim came home for lunch today, which was a nice treat!! And this is how Sebastian shows his appreciation...

Nesting

Nope, I'm not nesting. But Sebastian is! He can nestle himself into anything for a little nap...

Happy Anniversary to Us

Instead of figuring out individual anniversary gifts, we chose to buy something for the house...a glider for the nursery! Not too shabby :)

Antisocial?

Sebastian wanted some alone time tonight, and chose to sit in the recliner instead of hanging with Tim on the couch.

I'm Not Tired Mama...

Poor Sebastian was trying so hard to stay awake, but finally gave in to a little nap.

Spoiled Rotten

This may be one of the most spoiled dogs. Here he is telling me he wants his belly scratched. And of course, he gets what he wants. I hope I do a little better with Henry...

Father and Fur-Son

Daddy and Sebastian just chilling out and playing a little Xbox (well, Daddy's playing. Sebastian is busy napping...) aww...
