This is our modern day baby book! It is our prayer that years from now, Zeke and Adalynn will look back at the details of this blog and understand just how much we looked forward to meeting them and love them!

Playing catch up!


I was looking back through my phone and photos and realized how much we have done that I haven't posted about.  I've been doing what I can to get through each day and try to keep some sense of normalcy for the kids.  I'm starting to feel better, so I wanted to fill you all in on the last month and a half!  Thank you all for your prayers for me and this baby.  You don't know how much it means!

Mommy's helpers

The kids have tagged along with me on a few doctor's appointments and were exposed to fast food at the beginning of the pregnancy.  Thankfully, my tastes are now for big salads with lots of good protein and fats!

Plains Peanut Festival

We had the privilege of seeing Daddy work at the Plains, GA Peanut Festival.  We had fun eating boiled peanuts, riding a pony, and people watching after we saw Daddy protecting Mrs. Carter!

 






 




Classical Conversations

We have continued to enjoy participating in Classical Conversations, our homeschool group.  The kids (and I) are learning so much through the songs we use to memorize information.  We are very thankful to be a part of our "CC Community!"

We use this board for our memory work each week.  Adalynn has the phone, which plays our memory songs

Farm Field Trip

We went to Calhoun's Family Farm in Ashburn, GA for a field trip with CC.  We had a blast seeing the various wildlife, playing on the playground, going on a hayride, participating in the corn maze, watching pig races, and eating lunch together.

Birthday Party Fun

We got to attend our sweet friend, Lydia Grace's, 1st birthday party!





 Thomas the Train

 Gregg was able to take Zeke to ride Thomas the Train again in Cordele, GA.  He left his phone in the car, so we don't have any pictures of the day, but they have great memories!!!

Before church (they left for the train ride right after church)

After they got home.  He had a blast!

Church Fall Festival

Our church hosted a fall picnic a few weeks ago.  We got to picnic together, play games, and the kids even got to get on a real fire engine!

Baby at 10 weeks!


I'll wrap it up with a few miscellaneous photos.  We are thrilled that I'm entering my 2nd trimester next week and can't wait to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.  We are praising God daily for this gift of life!!!
