january happenings - weeks three and four

The kids didn't have school and Drew didn't have work on MLK Day so Asher and Drew went for a special day of snow tubing.  I was a little worried that Asher would be scared, but he LOVED it and can't wait to go again!

While the boys were tubing Hadley and I had a special day of our own.  We did some shopping and Chick-Fil-A.  Woot!

Hadley's favorite Christmas gift was this $8 Princess umbrella that Drew and I picked up on a whim at Toys R Us.  She had been waiting and waiting for a rainy day to use and January finally delivered! She was thrilled.  

Until it got in the way of her jumping in puddles, then it had to go.  ha!

Hadley loves to "check on" the baby.  She always wants to lift my shirt and listen to the baby's heartbeat with her medical kit.  Then baby brothers gets a little snuggle at the end of his check up.  So darn cute!!

The belly is large and in charge these days!  While it's getting harder to move around and much, much harder to sleep I love being pregnant and will miss it so much when it's over.  This is our last baby so every day is precious.

See.  They grow so fast!

Asher got a Chia pet for his birthday so we got Kermit a-growin' this month.  This thing cracks me up!  We kept it until Kermit got moldy (ew) then he had to go.

This mug is a bit of a joke.  Drew got it for me for Christmas and didn't realize when he ordered just how loooong it is.  Longer than Hadley's arm for sure.  I still love it and so does H!  :-)

Asher's 100th day of school is coming up in February so we have to get ready!  I'm trying to do as much before the baby is born that I can!

The quilt fabric arrived, so it became my nap and night time project.  I decided to do a herringbone quilt and combined a couple different online tutorials to make the size and design that I wanted.  When I made Asher a quilt I just made a baby size and it got small so quickly.  I wanted to do something longer lasting for baby brother so this one I made twin size.

I just love how it turned out!  I do remember why I don't make many quilts though - So. Much. Work.

Worth it, though.  :-)

Baby brother is making it well know that he'd like OUT pretty darn soon.  My new favorite past time is watching the crazy ways he moves.  His most active time is in the evenings so it's fun to sit on the couch and see what happens!  

Less than a month to go before he's due to arrive!  Crazy!!
