LOTS going on!

Noah starts his gov't job in Virginia on Monday! It's a big move for him.....and the rest of us! Alistair and I will be in MD until the house sells. Yes, this means ANOTHER move, but this one's for good! (hopefully).

In other news, the ultrasound for Baby #2 has been scheduled for February 14th! We will have a Happy Valentine's Day sneaking a peek at our littlest one!

AND....at almost 2 1/2 years old, Alistair is finally getting his "when I was born" book from Shutterfly! I literally started making this book when he was born, but when I realized you could save up Pampers points and get it for free I stopped. Well, now that he's potty trained and I'm no longer buying Pampers, I decided it was time to cash in those points! I ordered the book printed in hardcover and only had to pay shipping! So, there! We got SOMETHING for buying all of those diapers and wipes! Copy/Paste the link below to preview the book! I'm so in love with it! I was really kind of fun to go through the pictures and remember when our little man and so tiny. (Especially only a few months away from having this experience again!)

Week off

Monday's bike ride to the beach












Tuesday=new train set from Mimi






And baby Dino egg from Aunt Jen is hatching





Wednesday: it was a cold morning, so why not warm your butt in front of the space heater?






Thursday was uneventful. Spent the day at home in our PJs and Daddy cooked a fancy dinner for New Years Eve!

Friday-up ungodly early and digging the new train setup!

Christmas!

What a wonderful Christmas! We had lots of fun with Jake and Sadie as we got ready for the holiday break and were blessed with LOTS of wonderful family time with the Brackbills and Switzers! Alistair got lots of gifts from Pappy and Grammy Brackbill, Grandma Centric, Great Grammy Esh, Gnu Gnu and Grand-dude, Aunt Jen and, of course, Santa Claus! He also got a giftcard from Mimi that he will be using to pick out his own gift! What a very loved little boy! We are so grateful!
We are also grateful for our newest little blessing! Mommy has been able to feel baby moving a lot over the past few days (he even gave me a good strong one when I was holding Alistair!) There must have been too much pressure from Alistair's knees! LOL!

A New Baby Brackbill!!!

That's right! We are expecting again! We are due June 16th and looking forward to a new adventure as parents of TWO! Not much to see yet, but here's the untrasound from Friday's appointment:

You can make out a tiny arm to the left of the baby, if you look closely! We were able to see the baby's heart beating on the u/s screen and it was unmistakable! Praying for a happy, healthy pregnancy like the last one and a strong healthy baby!

Please leave me a comment if you stopped by to let me know you checked in!

I can't help it....

...I have to brag about how good my boy is on his bike! I'm thinking we will be seeing a no-training-wheels-real-pedal-bike by Christmas time!!!! He has been coasting down huge hills and is now putting his feet up on the grip tape where they belong AND steering while coasting. This tells us that he is balanced, in control and ready for the next step.....a REAL BMX!


Picnic with the BFFs


Playdate with new friends Teagan and Billy


Faking a "Gnarly Crash!"

Taking good care of his bike!

"My babies"
Licking frosting off of the candles and sticking their fingers in it!

He is SOOOOO good on his bike now!


And he knows he's good! LOL!
