New little bundle of JOY!

Daiven Barrett joined our family over a week ago!  What a blessing he is to our family!  It's been a busy adjustment!  I'm so thankful Micah took time off work to help and my mom "Nani" helped out too!  I can see I'm going to be a busy mom, there hasn't been very many free moments lately! 
Davey was born on January 20 @ 5:30am.  He was 7lbs 8 oz and 20 inches long.
He's been such a good baby this far!  He hardly cries and is sleeping and eating very well.  Oh, and pooping a lot!  We're all in love with our little Davey already!

Roman Shades

We are still waiting to meet our baby.  I am a week away from my due date today!  I had myself thinking this baby would come early since Brady came 2 days before his due date and Clark came 2 weeks before his.  Well, I guess every pregnancy is different just as every baby is completely different.  I can't wait to meet this new baby and get to know his or her individual personality!  Every day for the past week I've been thinking, "maybe today is the day our baby will come", but nothing but braxston-hicks so far.  Trusting that God's timing is perfect!

I'm actually thankful our baby didn't come too early!  With moving in less than 2 months ago, I've had lots of unpacking, organizing, and projects I wanted to get done.  With not much energy and the need for lots of naps, I've been very slow at getting my "to do" list done.  I still have lots of projects I'd love to do, but I got the most pressing ones done!  Last on my "to do before the baby comes" list was finishing the roman shade for our bedroom.  It's done!  And I love how it turned out!  

Future Firemen

We're still waiting for our baby.  Staying busy, but feeling very anxious!  When will he or she come???
On Thursday evening we got to visit the fire station!  Brady and Clark loved it! Thank you Jake and Sarah!

                                          Sarah even made us dinner!  Brady thought it was great
                                          to eat with the fire men!

Break In The Rain

It was pouring down rain this morning!  I was disappointed because I was hoping to take the boys out side and go for a walk.  Thankfully the rain let up late morning and we went out to play!  It was surprisingly warm!  Like in the 50s warm with a refreshing breeze blowing!  We actually played out side for close to an hour.  Being out side was making me excited for spring!  When I can start gardening and the boys can run around in bare feet!  I got a chair a pad of paper and started making a spring to do list.  Our yard needs  a lot of work.  I love yard work/ gardening!  I can't wait for SPRING! 

By the time we were getting hungry for lunch, the boys were all dirty!  They had been "building a house" in some mud, so I decided they better take baths before lunch and nap time.

Blessed Little Quiver

I've been wanting to start a blog for over a year now!  and I'm actually starting it today!  Maybe it's a nesting urge thing.  I don't have my hopes up too much about the nesting urge, since I don't have any other labor symptoms.  We would love to meet our baby this weekend though!  I probably won't post every day, but I want to share with family and friends what is happening in our everyday life, and the joy of our little kids who are growing and changing rapidly!  Another purpose for this blog is for our own family records.  I plan to have this blog printed in book form to save for future reading and preserving family memories!
