Sprinkling Parker

A sign made by Soggy Bottoms Bowtique. It matches Parker's room perfectly!

Pax and Mia helped me open the presents

Mia and Marisa got Pax a game and he loves it!

Suzie got Parker this sweet photo album

Pax and Grandma made Parker a Woody Build-a-Bear

Look at all these adorable clothes for Parker from Kristen's shop!

The hostesses and me

Brooks and Rochelle came down for the sprinkle and spent the day! Pax was excited to have 2 play buddies for the day!

Kristen, Sarah, Stephanie, Suzie, and Summer sprinkled Parker on Saturday, August 20th. Lots of people came to the shower, and the food was outstanding. They helped us collect about $500 towards the BOB double jogging stroller that I want! Parker is already so loved!

Maternity/Family Photo Shoot

I love this picture!!



34 1/2 weeks

"Am I allowed to do this????"


Suzie took these pictures before the shower started.  They were taken across the street from Kristen's house, and I think they turned out really well!  :-)

Friends x 2 generations

2nd generation friends

Best Friends

Pax and I drove to Smyrna to meet Suzie and Will, and Sarah for dinner and some yummy yogurt! Will was such a sweet baby, and I can tell already that he and Parker are going to be friends---as I was holding Will, Parker was going crazy in my belly pushing against where I was holding him. I can't wait for these two to meet and grow up together, since they are so close in age!!

Slumber Party

This was how I found the three of them Saturday morning!:-) So cute!!

Sword fighting!!!! Pax was so excited, and I think the girls secretly had fun with this, too!

These don't really have anything to do with the slumber party, except for the fact that Megan made them for my boys! Aren't they adorable!?!?!?

After supper club, Megan and Caroline came home to spend the night with us. We set up a mattress downstairs and the three of them had a slumber party in the basement. They all fell asleep watching a movie, and were so cute! I was just glad that they were there to sleep with Pax, because he didn't come and wake me up at 5 am! I got a great night's sleep (minus three trips to the bathroom)!! I woke up at 9:20, and all 3 were downstairs still sleeping! We then made breakfast and took the girls home! It was so fun for all of us, and I am looking forward to next time already!:-) I just love those Blackstone girls, and Pax does too, because he added them to his prayers the other night. I said, "thank you for my family" and Pax added, "and Megan and Caroline, too!" So sweet!!!

How old are you?

We celebrated Uncle Adam's 24th birthday by hanging out at the pool and then enjoying a yummy dinner complete with birthday cake! Pax tried to beat Adam to blowing out the candles, but Adam was too quick for him this time!

The best birthday present that he probably got was his promotion to being the head men's tennis coach at Presbyterian College! It became official right around his birthday! We're so proud of you, Adam! Check out this article if you want to read about his new job:

We hope you had a great birthday, Adam! We love and miss you!

Mark Your Calendars!

Parker has a birthdate!! As of right now, my c-section will be September 21st at 10 am! I'm so excited and can't believe that we're going to meet our little guy in 7 weeks!!

At my appointment today, his heartbeat looked good, along with everything else! The best news was that I only gained 1 pound since my last appointment three weeks ago! Haha!

So, go ahead and mark your calendars for September 21! :-)
