Halloween

I know...it's November, well actually it's almost December. But I totally forgot to post pictures of our Halloween. We went to my sisters house and let Stella and James trick or treat together. They had a blast. It was so much more fun this year with James. He really got into it and had fun running up to each door. Every house he went to he would say "just one" and then say "thank you-welcome" when they gave him the candy. It was just a bit cute! He dressed up like a dragon and Stella was a peacock. I already have lots of ideas for how to dress he and his brother up next year. Here are some pictures from the night:

In the Home Stretch

We are in the home stretch! Only a few more weeks to go. I am turning 34 weeks this Sunday. It's so crazy that it's almost time for this little one (still no name) to arrive. There is a part of me that is super ready for him to just be here but there is another part of me that is terrified of having a second child. You would think that I might be worrying about delivery, but that is not it at all. I am just nervous about how life will change, be overwhelming, and nervous of the affects on James. All of wish I know that God will see us through. I have literally already started praying for strength and endurance to get through those first few months once he's here. I am not one of those people that does well on no sleep so I'm just praying for super natural strength! :)

Other than that we are hanging in. James is such a delight most days. Now don't get me wrong we still have our days and moments that are tough. But his little personality is so much fun and most days he just makes us laugh. He talks all day long and I feel like since we moved here his vocabulary has tripled. I think he'll be a great big brother!

The house is still slowly but surely coming along. We actually have a roof, well the beams for the roof up! Last week we picked out our cabinets and soon we'll work on lighting, fixtures, and paint colors! I can wait to pick more stuff out. We are still hoping to be able to move in come January but I think if we're realistic it'll be more like February. We shall see though.

Updates on Life

Wowzers it has been a crazy month getting settled and adjusting to life back in the South! We are loving it though. It has been wonderful to be back. Our past few weeks have been spent catching up with old friends, getting our condo packed up in Boston and making new memories with our family. We are in the final weeks of preparing for baby boy #2 to arrive. I personally feel like I have been pregnant forever, but I will say these last few weeks have been flying by. I am 31 weeks pregnant this week. So if we go by when I had James I could have this baby in 7 weeks! Crazy! We have a doctors appointment tomorrow to check up on the babe! Can't wait to see him again!

Our new house is coming along slowly but surely. We are trying to really trust in the Lords timing and know that we will get in when we are supposed to get in. I will admit though that it is super hard being patient! I will head over there one day soon to take pictures to update what it's looking like!

*Note: I have been trying to upload pictures for the last two days to this post and it won't let me! Ugh...Pictures to come!
