Life of Late

This is kind of a long catch-up post, so bear with me! 

Me at 40 weeks and my amazing sister at 20 weeks 

Thursday night my sister and brother-in-law had a gender reveal party for their second baby. It's a BOY!! I can't believe that we are going to have 4 boys between us! Poor Lily! Ha. Myra did a post on her blog today with all the party details - so fun!

On Friday, we had a ton of severe weather throughout the day. I hope you all are ok from the storms, so much of our country was affected by them! Thankfully none of the storms ended up coming close to us, but there was a lot of damage about 20 minutes away. Schools got out early because of the weather, so Jacob got to come home before lunch! He decided to put up Lily's toddler bed since he had the extra time. She is in love with it! So far she's doing great staying in it. I'm so thankful it hasn't been a hard transition for her.


Saturday morning we were up bright and early for breakfast at Cracker Barrel to celebrate Jacob's youngest sister's birthday. Yummy!

After breakfast we went to my in-laws to watch Elizabeth open her presents. Lily adores Elizabeth, and Elizabeth is just so sweet to play with Lily. I pray they are good friends as Lily grows up, even with the age difference.

Sunday was such a busy, busy day! We had church and Jacob had to leave right after to go conduct one of his youth orchestra's concert (poor guy thought he had to be there at 12:30 for the sound check, but it turned out he didn't need to be there til 1:30 and then the concert was at 3:00. oh well). The kids and I enjoyed a quick dinner at my parent's and then headed to a sweet little girl's 3rd birthday party. Poor Levi fell asleep on the drive there, so he was Mr. Cranky Pants for most of the party. He finally warmed up and started playing. Lily and Levi had such a fun time playing with all the "new" toys!

After the party, we ran home and Lily took a good nap before we left again for church. Of course Levi wouldn't nap after the short nap in the car, so he was a mess at church too. He just gets so out of routine on Sundays, and he is definitely not nearly as adaptable as Lily has always been. By the time we were ready to go home, I felt like I was going to fall over with exhaustion.

Thankfully I slept really well last night! Today has been a great day! Some friends from church invited me and the kids over to visit and have lunch. Lily and Levi had the greatest time playing and I just enjoyed chatting.

Hope you all had a great Monday!

  6. So thankful the storms didn't do any damage at your house. It is so sad how much damaged all of those tornadoes caused!

    You and your sissy are so cute. How fun to be pregnant at the same time. My sister and I did that once too. She delivered in July and me in Oct.

    Lily will be such a good helper with the boys. Maybe someday she will get a little sister?! (:>)

    Love, Linda

  8. The picture of Lily in her big girl bed with shorts on has me itching for spring and spring storms here in WI - I'm not sure why! Not the type you all had to deal with last weekend though...just a good ol' fashioned thunderstorm. Glad to hear that everyone is safe!

    I'm also wanting breakfast foods - probably because of the mention of Cracker Barrel, ha!

    Thank you for sharing your weekend!

  9. I don't know how I missed this post... but you and your sister are adorable. I pray the Lord gives me a season of pregnancy when a soul sister is pregnant as well. Treasure this time together.
