Easter Pictures

What a special day to enjoy the blessings of a wonderful family! We went to church, had brunch, and took naps. The evening was capped off by watching golf. I love that expression- joy!
Greer and Daddy (She is completely a Daddy's girl! I am too, so I can't complain.)

Greer and Momma (I am in a maternity dress, but I didn't get a good shot of the belly.)

Bubble Time!

Yesterday, I let Greer wander away from me while I addressed a few envelopes. I was honestly thinking, "how much trouble can she get into in a few minutes." Stupid! She managed to get into the bathtub, unscrew the top to her HUGE bottle of baby wash, and pour it all over herself and the tub. The only positive side to this was that the mess was contained. It was about 5 pm, so I cleaned her up and left the tub for bathtime. As you can see below, she had quite the bubble bath. Chad had a difficult time rinsing the tub out completely!

New Backyard

Prior to the party we had last weekend, Chad built a patio for our backyard. We made lots of fun family memories along the way! The day that he started digging it out we had a rainstorm and it filled up with yucky orange water. I told Greer that Daddy was digging her a swimming pool :)! Later, we helped with the installation of the pavers. Chad actually stayed up until midnight to finish before the next rainstorm. All in all, we are so excited about all of the work that we have had done- new plants, new fence, new patio. We can't wait for the pollen to clear out, so that we can enjoy the yard! Oh yeah, and Monday we will have a little deck built to extend our porch onto the patio. Then we will enjoy it all!Greer is wearing Daddy's work gloves

Stacking rocks is about the most work we got out of her!

Unless you count modeling as work

Let's pretend she was clapping for her parents

The real hard worker

Smiling is hard work

Weekend with Family

Last weekend we had a party for Meghan and Matthew to celebrate baby Tucker's coming arrival. I didn't take any pictures at the party :(, but Chad took some on Sunday. Here are some pictures of the picnic we had with Nathan, Allison, and Garrett... Lunch at Riverfront Park

Greer is having a great time!

Pig Tails and Other Fun

Finally, I am posting some of the pictures I have been taking over the last month. I hope that you enjoy them! Greer with pigtails!
Up to the same undressing thing! Guess I should be happy that she wakes up in a good mood!

This describes how much she likes the camera.

More "cheesing"

Organizing Momma's cabinents- Guess she is the child of two first borns :)

It's a boy!

Yesterday, we had another ultrasound, and discovered that we will be having a boy in August or September. This ultrasound was a little different than the time we had Greer's! The first time was so romantic. Chad held my hand, and I think that we both had a few tears.

This time Greer had a cold, so she was requiring much of our attention. I think it scared her that something new was happening to me, too. The first shot the UT took was of his legs toward his head. I was so grateful that we have been through a few of those things, so I could tell almost immediately that it was a boy. Again, much different than the first time.

He is beautiful and looks healthy. He has a different personality than his big sister! We spent a good bit of time prodding him in an effort to try to get a shot of his spinal column, but he wouldn't budge. He was tucked in tight, but kept his legs and feet straight out. Guess that proves that he didn't get his flexibility from Chad!
