Almost time

Well, only about 4 more weeks until D day and we can't wait.  Just as life is starting to settle down, the girls playing so well together in the afternoons, and summer approaching, it is about to get kind of CRAZY!! That is crazy in a good way though.  Baby boy Warren is growing like crazy and I feel like my stomach can not stretch anymore.  I was never this big with the girls...I feel good and the baby is healthy and has great movement.  May is flying by already and I feel like it is so busy.  Sallie graduates from kindergarten May 22nd and that is also the last day of school.  We are headed to the beach for our annual Memorial Day beach trip but this year only for about 4 days instead of a full week.  That is unless Baby Warren decides to come early which would be fine by me:)

The girls are getting ready to perform in their big ballet performance on Tues. May15th.  They have precious costumes that they are so excited about.  I can't wait to see them on the big stage.  Anna and Sallie are really into their baby dolls right now and I got a really cute picture of them yesterday with  all the baby stations they had set up. I will have to post the pics.  We have all our baby gear out in the nursery and it has been used a lot by the girls and their baby dolls. I walked into the nursery yesterday with Sallie over Anna who was on the floor with a baby doll stuffed up her shirt and Sallie was "taking the baby out". I hope they welcome this new baby and love him like they do thier baby dolls.

Mother's Day is almost here and is a reminder of how lucky I am.  I am blessed beyond words....

Can't wait to be blogging about life as a family of 5!

So behind....

I am so behind in my blogging and will attempt to catch up but no pictures for now. Our home computer got a really bad virus and we had to switch all our pics over to another computer and have not switched them back or downloaded any new pics from Christmas. I think that my last post was in Sept so let me try and think about what all has gone on since then.....Oct was the annual Wooly Worm festival which was so much fun. It was really windy this year which did make it a little harder to enjoy but we still had a good time. My parents went with us this year and it was great to spend some overnight time with them and the girls really enjoyed having them there too. We got to bring our worms home and they hung around for about 5 days before we let them go and find a new home in our backyard.


We found out in October that we are expecting another baby which is still so exciting and unbelievable! I feel great which I am so thankful for and have never experienced. I was so sick with both Anna and Sallie and I have not been sick at all this time. I never really got to enjoy being pregnant before because I was so sick and so sleep deprived because I could not sleep either. This time I have really enjoyed it. November was full of Thanksgiving plans and family time. Ward and I took a trip to Charlotte for a weekend in November to celebrate our 6th Anniversary and had a great time. My parents kept the kids and it was so nice to get away. We told our families that we were expecting a third baby the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and everyone was so excited. The kids were really excited and Sallie is still going up to people and telling them that I am pregnant and she is going to have a baby:) Too Cute!!! What a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving.....


We had a great Christmas. The girls really enjoyed all that we did to get ready for Christmas. We did operation Christmas Child at our church which was a lot of fun. We got to buy gifts, pack boxes, make pictures and write letters to include in the boxes and then got to track the boxes that we sent. It was really neat. We went to the First Baptist Church Christmas program that we always enjoys and saw some of our precious little friends in it this year. We went to Saluda Shoals park to see the lights which were great. We really enjoyed them!!! We saw Santa Claus on more than one occasion. Anna actually packaged up her passy and gave it to Santa this year. Santa thought it was a little odd but oh well, he took it. He then asked Anna what she wanted for Christmas and she told him that she wanted a snake. He really thought we were odd after that. It was pretty funny. We took Anna to Learning express and let her pick out any toy that she wanted for giving Santa her passy. She picked out a $4.00 rubber snake. Priceless......Giving up her passy was a little rough for a night or two but she has been fine since and has not looked back or questioned it once. Sallie was in a little Christmas program at church and then another one at school. She was a Shepard and she was the cutest little Shepard I have ever seen. Her line was to say "Where shall I find him" and she said it perfectly.....She really wanted to be a Angel but after we read stories and I told her the importance of the shepards, she was ok with it.


Our elf, Roddy, came back this year which was so fun. The girls both enjoyed him so much and couldn't wait to get out of bed to find him. They wrote letters to him and Sallie left him candy two nights. We celebrated Christmas in Anderson the weekend before Christmas and stayed in town for Christmas Day which was really nice. We went to Church and then headed to Bishopville Christmas Day to spend the day with family and eat lunch. It was great!!! Both Sallie and Anna were good girls this year and Santa was good to both of them. Sallie loved her "two wheel" scooter which is what she kept telling Santa that she wanted. She also loved her "i touch" that she got (not really a i touch and I am not sure why she started calling it this but we let her go with it). It is really a vtech innotab which we had to take back due to a problem with it and are waiting on another one. Anna got a doll house and a scooter as well. Hers is a three wheel scooter but she still thinks that it is a two wheel scooter and we let her go with that too. She also got a musical vanity. The best gift I got was the news on Dec 20th that our baby is a boy and he is healthy. What a great gift and we are all so excited. I must say I am a little nervous about a boy just because I am clueless when it comes to boys but I know that it will all just come to me and this baby boy will be the best addition to our family. The girls are excited about "baby boy" and Ward is sooooo excited. I think he just knew that this baby was another girl which would have been great news too....The girls will be roommates starting in April and baby boy will take over Anna's room. Pray for a easy transition. They are excited about it now because they are getting bunk beds but I hope that they love sharing a room and can get along. I can not believe that Christmas has come and gone but it truly was a great one!! God has blessed me with so much and I pray that this year I focus on him even more!!!


New Years resolutions......well there are a lot in my head but the most important ones......live each day to the fullest as if it could be my last, enjoy family time and have more of it, do more for others in need, and spend more time with God... That about sums up the last 3 months. I hope to stay more up to date and can't wait to see what 2012 brings us.
