Happy Earth Day!!

In honor of Earth Day, Parker and I planted some zinnias given to us by my wonderful teaching partner, Kirsten. Parker was a big help and loved the beautiful day outside!!

Getting ready to plant...

All done!!

Sambo sat his ball on Parker, just waiting for him to throw the ball. Not very long Sambo...Parker will be your new best friend!!

My sweet boys!!!

Parker's newborn pictures

Parker had his newborn pictures last week. Besides a few accidents of peeing and pooping, they turned out really wonderful!! Check out a few of of them...

Parker's 2 weeks old!!!

Well, today was my actual due date. I can't imagine life without him. It seems like he was been with us forever!! We have had a busy couple of weeks. He went on his first walk, visited Daddy at his office and had his first bath!! He did such a good job, he truly is a wonderful baby!!

We love you Parker Ryan!!

Parker Ryan is here!!!

After a long Saturday morning of taking a practice principal exam, Parker decided to make his way into our world!! We went to the hospital only thinking it probably was a false alarm and we would be sent home, due to him being 2 weeks early, and instead we were admitted and had him a few hours later. At 6:28pm on March the 28th, we were blessed to meet Parker Ryan. These last few days have been nothing but exciting as we all learn the joys of raising a baby!!

He weighed 8 lbs. and 20 inches long

Belly Shots...

We had pictures taken by a wonderful mom of a child in my classroom. She did such a fabulous job, I can't wait for her to take some of Parker. The latest update is he is 6 1/2 lbs. and head down ready to go. I'll keep you posted on the progress...enjoy the belly!!

Couple's Shower

We had a wonderful couple's shower hosted by some of our dear friends. I wasn't sure how the boys would respond to being at a baby shower...but they all seemed to enjoy themselves. I was very excited Lucas was able to be a part of the "baby shower" experience. Thank you to all who made this such a special time for us!!

Belly pics and more of Parker's room...

Well, we have hit 30 weeks!! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. He is moving around like crazy!! Sometimes I think he is making knots in my stomach. We can watch my belly move around, it is pretty neat!! We just wish we could see what he is up to.

Here is a picture of my belly-

30 weeks

The baby doll in the background is one of my sister's when she was little. We put a onesie on her and started calling her Parker to try and get Sambo used to a baby. He will lick the baby but doesn't seem to interested in it. I am sure he will love the real Parker!!

The rocking chair was given to us by Mimi and Papa (Lucas' grandparents). It was built in 1897 for Papa's father and then Papa used it as a child. Now it has been passed down the family and Parker will be able to share in the tradition!!


Finally found baskets to fit on and under the table. I bought several sizes to see which ones would fit. Lucas doesn't seem to understand why we need so many baskets. I told him we will have plenty to fill them with!!

I made these signs using "Once Upon a Wall"

After a little frustration with hanging the shelves, I think Lucas has hung all he will need to hang (for a while).
