What??? You're moving again!

Oh yes, it's the story of my life for the last 7 years. We are now packing up and getting ready to move to Spring Hill, FL for Nate to finish out his clinicals till the end of the program. But you're really pregnant?! Yes I am! I am due in 15 days but I have learned over our many moves how to pack efficiently and to start early. My goal is to pack up everything we won't need over the next 6-7 months and label the boxes open in MI. This way I don't have to completely unpack this upcoming move since we are only going to be there for 6 months. I haven't had much help but I have to do it regardless if I have help or not. I'm drawing my strength and energy from the Lord (and coffee) because let's face the reality...I'm having a baby any day and the condo is not going to pack itself. Nate & I decided it's best to stay together as a family unit and its a short time so we can do anything!

That's all for now! Till next time!!

Maternity Pictures

My friend Rebecca, whom I met at MOPS, is a photographer. We talked about doing maternity pictures back in December at our Christmas party and we were able to accomplish just that on 6/30! We both were on Pinterest getting ideas and my expectations were met and surpassed! Thank you so much for creating these wonderful memories! Here are the pictures Rebecca posted on Facebook as a sneak peek. Can't wait to see the rest!

N did such a good job following directions and she looks like an angel here! She is so excited for this baby to get here. 

So the story behind this picture is funny now. It was almost a disaster and pictures almost didn't happen. I'm sitting on a slight hill and near my feet a couple feet away is a swamp area. Adam came running a little too fast down the hill and stepped right in the mud and almost fell backwards but recovered nicely. Thankfully I keep a tub of wet wipes in the van and we were able to clean him up in 5 minutes. The kids thought it was fun and kept running down the little hill. They stopped though after Rebecca said they wouldn't get their prize for doing a good job! She was amazing with the kids!

My honey & I 😍😍😍  he was such a trooper getting the pictures done after a long day of clinicals (not to mention the bugs were really bad and it was 90!) no complaining from him (I found an amazing one!!!)

One of my favorite pictures! The one on Pinterest has the woman's face completely covered by the book but I thought this would be better! 

Since the baby is a surprise, we had to take advantage of this picture opportunity. I LOVE how it turned out! Great job Rebecca!!

Last one is my favorite. I love how fun it is! The sign said, "SPEED HUMP" but she was able to work some magic and changed the wording! I love love love it!!!

Well that is all for now! Till next time!!
