Life in Lynnville

Here is a picture of our living room! We have finally finished hanging pictures and ceiling fans and getting things ready for the holidays! I'll try to take a better picture during the day but this was mainly so you could see our tree!

Our tree

The puppies love it here. They love the sun coming in the door and they love watching out the front door for animals. When Maddy sees an animal, she starts to crying to get outside!

We went for a nice walk yesterday morning in a chilly 40 degrees! It was spitting rain too, but I loved it. It's nice to have weather that changes every now and then! I've always loved rain though so that's no surprise. Hopefully soon it will turn to snow!!

Tonya, Mike, Zak, Aly, Kevin, Yasmeen, Mila, Kira, Faith, Kevin and Dylan...you were all missed VERY much this Thanksgiving. Gobble Gobble, and we hope you had a blessed day!

22 weeks along and our new home!

We made it!!! We are moved in and loving it! The house is SO homey and just feels so right. We have most everything put away with a few boxes left. I only have pictures of the empty rooms so far but I'll take some more of the finished product once we do a few more finishing touches!

The living room with their curtains still up:

The kitchen with the hideous fan and border still up and their curtains! The backsplash and tiled countertop are my favorite!

ME! 22 weeks! and you can see some of our furniture and stuff in this picture but don't peek!

Thanks for checking in!

Taking a page out of Maddy's book...

Meet puppy. She looks like Maddy, same color, about the same level of activity and she is Maddy's new best friend. She came in a box from Nana a long time ago, but was just recently discovered during the packing and organizing phase of our move.

Amidst all the chaos, the boxes stacked high, and the loud sound of packing tape, Maddy manages to find her puppy and just take a break from the commotion...

Maybe it's time you find your puppy and take a break...even if chaos surrounds you. :)

At 4 oclock this morning...

I FELT THE BABY MOVE!!! It was like my stomach muscles were spasming and then I froze to see if I could feel something...it continued and then I felt a strong hi-YA to the gut, haha! Then there was a flutter, and it kinda tickled! WOOT! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see my belly move!

With Matt's prediction that he's coming out with a helmet and shoulder pads on, he might be practicing plays in there!

Belly Update!

Warning...nakey baby belly ahead! And for the full effect I have to show the photos leading up to today's!

At this rate, Baby Carty may be a 10 pounder! Let's hope for my sake, he is NOT!
