an update in pictures

i can't believe i haven't blogged since january 29th! i'm turning into a ginormous slacker. i guess we'll start from february 1st and work our way to march... (don't worry, we haven't done much. we're lazy.)

on february 2nd we had quite the snow storm rip through town, leaving both morgan and me snowed in and unable to go to work (bummer). total, we had about two feet of snow, which was quite impressive to kashmir. he ran, jumped, and ate snow for the majority of the day. that weekend, the two older boys (kaedon and kalen)  came over and played on the huge snow mountain in the church parking lot with uncle morgan and kash. they had such a good time!! of course i couldn't stay and play because i had some shopping to do... hello williamsburg outlet mall!

party on the mountaintop! kash, morgan, kal & kaed.
we celebrated two birthdays in february. kaedon charles turned 6 and kalen jacob turned 4. it's so hard to believe that they're not babies anymore! kaedon started kindergarten this year and kalen is in his first year of preschool. also a big milestone - kaedon lost his first tooth... or should i say TEETH? he lost his first two teeth in ONE night, and, because i'm a loudmouth (and i often forget he cannot sense sarcasm yet), he demanded $50 from the tooth fairy. the "tooth fairy" was NOT impressed, and promised to corrupt my child like i've corrupted theirs. yikes.

kaed's teeth. he was very unsure of the new feeling in his mouth.

gorgeous krue.
oh, and how could i possibly forget this little detail: we officially passed the "half way" point in my pregnancy on valentine's day! and, our gift was an ultrasound to see how the little babe has progressed. it was absolutely amazing. it was hard, but baby mays' gender is still unknown. however, if we had to guess, we'd say BLUE based on the fact that the little sweetheart was in a wrestling stance for much of the ultrasound! :)

at night, morgan and i like to sit on the couch and watch the baby try to kick its way out of my belly. it's quite hilarious. sometimes it looks like there is a bit of a dance party taking place in there, and other times it looks like s/he is taking judo chop lessons from jackie chan. regardless, we enjoy watching the little movements and wondering what exactly is going on in there!

little baby feet!

me at 23 weeks. (moo!)
march, thus far, has not been too eventful. we finally chose our color swatches and got the baby's room painted. we went with a neutral grey for the paint and an owl theme for the overall room. we had a custom bedding set made for us on www.etsy.com, which should be ready in the next couple of weeks. also, we officially ordered the baby's furniture set and we should be able to pick it up in the next couple of weeks. we are so excited that it is all coming together. all we need is the baby to make it complete! i will be 24 weeks tomorrow, which means we have about 16 weeks of baby baking left. here's hoping the time flies by!
