In Motion

Lately I have felt like that is Hannah's motto...ALWAYS in motion :) When I was taking these pictures she was running back and forth from the basement steps to the couch, and them flopping herself on the couch saying, "Hannah is a crazy girl" :) I had to laugh!! And yes, in case you are wondering, she picked out her clothes today. She pretty much insisted on wearing her Ohio State cheerleader outfit, and who am I to disagree with that :) GO BUCKS!!

Spring Has Sprung?

At least I am hoping so!! After getting groceries this morning, Hannah and I grabbed some lunch and headed to the park. It was completely gorgeous out!! On the way home, my car thermometer said 64 degrees!! It was complete heaven :) I am so ready for the spring weather, and the sun. We even drove with the windows rolled down today! Yipee!!

24 weeks

24 weeks already...I can't believe it! Time is flying, but I am glad. I can't wait to meet this sweet little boy!

Just for fun

I thought I would share this picture from swimming lessons last night...she had so much fun, and I kind of did too!!

Nursery Fun!!

Well it took me forever to pick out the bedding for our little guys (still no name :)) nursery, ut I thought that since I finally did, I would share it with all of you :)

I really like the blue and brown together, and I think (fingers are crossed) that the darker blue of the turtles will match the blue on the walls perfectly! I ordered it online, so it should be coming soon!! I also ordered the valances, but I think I am going to do brown curtains instead...I found some at Ikea that I really like and that are a reasonable price. And we finally got new carpet for the room. It has a hideous brown shag from the 70's now, so I can't wait for next week when the new carpet is installed. Things are moving right along :)

Yummy Bagel Goodness!

I have been hungry for bagels for about a week now, and I completely forgot to pick some up at the store when I got groceries this past Saturday. Since I used up all of the grocery budget, but was still craving a bagel, I decided to make try and make them myself. What can I say...don't stand between a pregnant lady and her cravings ;) They were surprisingly easy to make, and tasted delicious! I thought I would share the recipe in case anyone else wants to try:)

Preheat Oven to 425

In large bowl mix:
4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons yeast
1 1/2 cups water

Knead for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 equal sized balls and then let rest for 15 minutes. Roll each ball out in a "snake" until it is as wide as both of your hands then shape into a circle and squish the ends together. Let rest for 20 minutes. Boil water in pan and grease baking sheet. Boil each bagel for one minute on each side then set on paper towel to dry for 1-2 min. (I just used a boring old soup pot for this.) Place bagels on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then flip over and bake for ten more minutes. Let cool and then ENJOY!!

A Contest

I am blogging about this great looking stroller to get a second entry to possibly win one. With number two on the way, it would be great to have a double stroller!! Head over to Simple to check it out :) Or go straight to the Bumbleride website and have a look!

Mommy's Helper

Lately Hannah has been very into wanting to help me with whatever I am doing around the house. Whether it is house work or baking or just getting supper ready. I personally find it very cute :) Here she is helping me clean out the tub after we gave the dog a bath. And please excuse the hair...she has just enough curl that it is CRAZY when she gets up in the morning. :)

A Confession

I have a confession to make...it's nothing horrible, or harmful or even a little bit scary. It's just that...well...I love getting Hannah's picture taken :) We almost always go to Babies R Us, because they do a great job for a very reasonable price. These are pictures that I had taken of her for Valentines Day. I know its not such a momentous occasion, but my hubby had mentioned a few weeks before that he didn't have any very up to date pictures for his desk, and well, that was all the motivation this mommy needed. :) I had been waiting to put them on the blog to share because I obviously couldn't before Valentines, and then I just kind of forgot. So here we are at last, Hannah's Valentines pictures for your viewing pleasure :)

She really liked this chair...I think she would have taken it home if they had let her :)
I really like the look on her face in this one. It just seems so sweet and innocent to me.
This one is my favorite!! I LOVE her smile :)

Swimming Lessons

Hannah started swimming lessons again two weeks ago. She absolutely loves them, and I figured we should try and get another session in before mommy gets to pregnant to get in with her :) The class is a parent child class, and we were able to get into the evening class which means that daddy can come along too!! It also means that mommy and daddy can take turns being the one to get in with her. Last night was Nick's turn, and I got to sit and watch and take pictures...I didn't get very many good ones, because the lighting is crappy in the pool area, and our camera is not the greatest, and it took me until halfway through the lesson to realize that the reason the pictures kept coming out fuzzy was because the lens was fogged up. Duh...and here I thought I was messing up the focus...oops! These are two of my favorites from last night. Enjoy!

Pictures of Baby Sera!!

Hannah holding her cousin for the first time!!
Look at that sweet little face :)
Proud mommy, daddy, and beautiful Sera!!

She is here!!

Seraphina Marie arrived early this morning at 2:18! She was 6lbs 9 ounces and 19 inches. She has the most beautiful curly, strawberry blonde hair, and lots of it. Mommy and baby are doing great!!! Thanks for all your prayers for my sister...this auntie is quite proud!!

Pictures to come... :)

22 weeks

The belly at 22 weeks :) I feel like it has really grown a lot these past two weeks, like maybe baby boy is having a growth spurt! Who knows...it could be all the ice cream I have been craving too :)
