Burp Cloths

My parents arrived safely this morning. They are absolutely exhausted being that they got up at 3:30 to make their flight but I am so happy they are here. My mom brought me the burp cloths she made for Ryla. They are so cute. She made some for Aidan a couple of years ago to. Very talented woman!!!! Here are some pics.

#10

So I have really enjoyed reading my friend's blogs that tell me what they are thankful for. I don't think I have the energy or time right now to do a post everyday until Thanksgiving but I thought it would be fun to do a top ten. So here is my number 10!

My Spokane Friends!!!!

From left to right. I have known all these girls since I first moved to Spokane but have just in the last year become very close to Natalie. Natalie was in my small group in our first year with her husband Lucas and her beautiful little girls Charlie and Norah. We have found that we have a lot in common and have really enjoyed double dates with our amazing hubbies, church activities, and long texting conversations on a regular basis. She has been a wonderful example to me on what a Christian mother and wife should be and am excited for our friendship to continue to grow.
Laura and I began hanging out within a few months after being here. What I enjoy most about Laura is how we can sit with each other for hours and have such easy, honest conversations. We have playdates for the kids every week, including this morning, and I love showing up in my pajamas and no makeup and no that it won't matter. She has the kindest heart of anyone I have meant and I know we will be lifelong friends.
Amanda and I have really bonded in the last 9 months due to the fact that we are both expecting little girls on the 21st of this month. Even in the same hospital!! Although we still have many differences, I feel that Amanda and I are very much alike so it makes it very easy to talk with her during those lovely down times that we all tend to have. She keeps me humble and grounded and that tends to be very difficult to find in my life.
All together I am so thankful for these three girls and feel so fortunate that I have been able to build such Godly relationships in my time here.

Happy Birthday Harrison!

My beautiful nephew Harrison turns two today. He and Aidan are 6 weeks apart. I hope they can grow up being great friends. I love you Harrison and wish I could be with you on your special day!

Just Because He's Cute!

Here are some pics of Aidan I got last week. He is toooo cute. I love him and his squishy cheeks!!

39 weeks

Well I am 38/39 weeks today. I go into the doc tomorrow so he can tell me again that I have made no progress...LOL. I'm ready though. I have given up on make up and anything but sweats. I am also having some problems with my right hip. The ligaments are getting too loose too soon. Something called SPD. Whenever I walk it feels like my leg is popping out of place which basically just means I can only walk if absolutely necessary. Ahh the joys of pregnancy.

Passing the Time

While I am waiting for our new little one....I have had some time on my hands. Here are a couple new cards I recently made. The pink ones are my thank you cards for Ryla and the Brown one I made for one of the ladies at our church who recently had a baby. I am still really behind (meaning that I have yet to start) on our family scrapbooks since we moved here but at least I have Aidan's first year album done. Now to start on Rylas.

Trick or Treat

Cliff and I decided to take Aidan trick or treating this year. We weren't quite sure if he was old enough but we decided to give it a try. Because he is so little we wanted to make sure we took him to a place that was safe and that wouldn't scare him. We decided to go with our good friends Natalie and Lucas and their two girls. They are in the airforce and live on base. This ended up being the PERFECT place to take Aidan. He loves his two friends Charlie and Norah so he really enjoyed being with them. Also being on the base taking him around was so much fun. Everyone participates there. Every single house had their lights on and were eager to give out candy to the kids. They airforce also put safety people at about every other block. Finally, they had people from the firestation come out with their trucks and lights and had a little show for the kiddos. Aidan did great. He picked up trick or treating right away and went for about an hour. He was very good with his please and "dank you." Cliff caught one on camera.
