Valentine's Birthday

Today is not only Valentine's day, but my birthday!  It has been a great day.  Travis started the day off right with breakfast in bed and flowers.  Then for my birthday he got me a rocking chair that I wanted for the baby's room. He is so good to me and I am so blessed to have him.  This evening we enjoyed my chocolate heart  shaped cake, a tradition that my mom started when we were little kids.  Travis wasn't left out in all the festivities, he had a Valentine's gift also, a new ring that he wanted. We had a great day!

I wasn't the only one happy Travis was home from Indiana!

25 weeks!

I cannot believe that this week I will be 25 weeks into my pregnancy!  September doesn't seem that long ago and now May is right around the corner!  I cannot wait for our sweet little girl Sophie's arrival.  This month I hope to get some more furniture for her nursery and start getting some stuff together for her arrival. Don't get me wrong, she already has quite the wardrobe, but I just can't resist buying more!  It's so much fun and I already love her so much. Only 16 weeks and 3 days until my due date, but I'm hoping I don't have to wait that long :)

Our Pets

I find Sadie sleeping like this often, but every time I try to get her picture, she rolls over.  Finally, she was in a deeper sleep than normal and I was able to get this shot.  She is such a sweet dog and we were so lucky to get her.  She is definitely Travis' buddy and just looks at me as the disciplinarian, but I'm okay with that, I'm just glad she'll listen to me!

One night when Sadie was curled up asleep on her pillow, I noticed George go up behind her and start sniffing around her back.  I thought he was checking things out and would go on as he usually does, but tonight, he just wanted to be close to her I guess.  Before I knew it he was curled up behind her and I was like this is just too cute.  I'm so glad they get along, Sadie is the only dog that George likes, I think it is just because he has known her since he was only weeks old.

In the picture above, Travis had gotten out his bag to go skiing the next day and for some reason George thought this would be a nice place to curl up and relax.  He is so cute and it's so funny to see where he will decide to sleep next.  He is definitely more affectionate toward Travis, I'm not sure why, but both our animals are this way.

Happy Anniversary!

Today Travis and I have been married for two years.  It's hard to believe it has already been that long, it seems like only yesterday we were making the preparations for our wedding.  A lot has happened in those two years, good and sad, and without each other and God I don't know what we would have done.  

Now travis and I are expecting our first baby, a little girl.  She will be here in May and we are both so very excited.  We look forward to this new chapter of our lives and pray that God will help us to be good parents.

Carving Pumpkins!

So last night Travis and I carved our first pumpkins together.  We didn't do it last year for some reason, but I decided that we needed to this year.  We had so much fun!  We will definitely not miss another year if we can help it.  I had forgotten how much fun scooping out the "guts" and creating your pumpkin's face can be!  When we were all done it was great to see them all lit up.  I cannot wait to light them on Halloween for all our trick or treaters to see.

A Beautiful Surprise

So this morning we woke up to beautiful snow!  I love it and I was so very excited for our first snowfall of the year.  I know some people might think I am crazy for that because we'll have a lot more to come, but there is just something so special about the first snow of the year.  It makes you feel like a little kid again when you wake up and see it on the ground, I would have felt even more like a kid if I didn't have to work today and got to stay at home and enjoy it!  Oh well.  I just thought I'd share our beautiful snow with you this morning.
