The Ever Growing Belly!

12 weeks...


















17 weeks...


















20 weeks...



















24 weeks!

















Here's some fun profile shots of the wifey. The latest one taken tonight. Funny how the days go by. She's been a great sport about getting bigger. We've been having fun lately talking to little Cade (as we've been reading that his ears are developed enough to hear us both now). We'll keep posting some more pictures in the coming weeks as she gets farther along. Next Monday is our next appointment with the doctor, so we're excited to go again and see how much our little boy has grown. He's starting to kick a little harder and I've even begun to feel him by laying my hand on Melissa's belly. One night he kicked really hard and Melissa jumped, then asked me "Did you feel that?!". To which I replied "YES!". Guess you had to be there...
Lately, we've been taking some time to research some baby furniture and start registering at Baby's-R-Us. We've already done a couple of trips and are narrowing our selection of baby accessories, apparel, and baby transportation means. The Lord is gracious to give us such great friends who have helped us to really zero in on the quality baby stuff. So if you have any advice, we'd love to hear it!

Happy birthday Jenny!! (Part 1)


Matt and Jenny invited us to Lake Arrowhead to celebrate the last year of Jenny's 20's (I think that is a better way of saying 29, don't you ;) ). It was a great weekend with some of our closest friends, the Guties, Kalub's, and Brannon's.

It was kind of a rainy Saturday morning, but the boys still managed to get in some good skiing first thing in the morning. The girls opted for manicures and tea lattes in the village. What a way to spend a Saturday! We had a fabulous dinner with Jenny's favorites - tri-tip and corn on the cob, and then a yummy flourless chocolate cake and St. Patty's mint yogurt from Golden Spoon for dessert. Jenny had a little help blowing out her candles because Andrew and Chad’s birthdays are coming up soon too!

Thank you Matt and Jenny for bringing us all together for a fun weekend! Jenny, we praise the Lord for you and his work in your life. We pray his blessings are abundant for you in this next year of life. We love you!
