Dog Park

Googled a dog park where I could let Sadie burn some of her energy and I found a great one!!! Lots and lots of dogs for her to prance around with; I think she had a good time : ) I wore her out cause now she's sacked out on the floor. Mission: Accomplished!

Home again, Home again

Well, I drove Miss Sadie and myself home on Tuesday to get the house clean, buy groceries and get other wifely duties done before Beau came home. He arrived yesterday around 6 pm so we got to spend the evening together. He had mentioned empanadas sounded good before he left so I got the goods needed and make yummy empanadas for dinner; not gonna lie, they were pretty dang good! Thanks for the recipe Mother : ) I also bought him the movie Crazy Heart before he left but we didn't have a chance to watch it last week so we had a movie night at home; it was fantastic to spend a normal night at home! And today he had a day off so we got breakfast/lunch and The Cracker Barrel and went to the mall to get him some new jeans and a t-shirt. You all know the cute baby store that I went to in Holland? Well, I brought home a little somethin' somethin' I thought Beau'd love and he did : ) Now the family will be complete in boots!...Thought I was going to take a short break and lay down with Beau for a nap...not so short-3 hours later I'm finishing! What a fantastic and relaxing day : )

Lovely day in Holland

Oh what a fun-filled day we had! Abbey and I were up at the butt-crack of dawn, ready to get our run on! Abbey signed up for the Calvin 5k and so I tagged along-it was FREEZING! I ended up not running because I was too late to register but Abbey kicked booty and ran it in 22:30-such a stud she is : )

We came home, got ready and were off to pick Grandma Wilma up for lunch at De Boer Backery; it was delicious! We all bopped downtown and did a little shopping.

It was Tulip Time once again and I took some pictures of the beautiful flowers in memory of Grandma Harry...We miss you G-Ma and love you so much...

We walked into the cutest baby store ever and I couldn't help but snap some photos for future ideas for our nursery : )

And, of course, we stopped at the fudge/icecream/chocolate store and got lots of goodies. Yum!!! Such a fun day...Sluggos Pizza for dinner tonight and cards to keep us busy in this dreary weather...I love Holland, MI!

Baby movement update

I was layin' in bed last night watching tv with the gals and I felt little Cord, Gage, Hunter move! (Yes, I DOOOO strongly believe it's a little boy movin' around in there!)

I FEEL THE BABY!!!!!!! Oh my goodness what a surreal feeling! Such a miracle to have a little life growing inside of me : )

Season Pictures

Little Audrey's hand on the little belly; quite possibly the sweetest thing of all time : )

The baby bump is slowly growing...pretty much looks like a put five pounds on my lower gut ha ha ha

16 weeks yesterday : )

Gabe and Audrey-the kids I sit for

Words Beau and I need to immerse ourselves in...

Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9 )

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1 )

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. (Psalm 46:1-2)

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, but as I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)

Through the fire, He will mold us....

Pray for understanding and peace; joy despite the frustration and discouragement that surrounds us; though we are in a storm, the sun in all it's glory is waiting for us.
