My little brother visiting :)

My "little" brother came to visit me last weekend! We had a great time walking all over downtown Portland, AND the rose garden, AND Lloyd Center. Ok i have to admit, by the time we got the lloyd center I was totally beat and let him, Joe and his two friends do the walking while i sat on a bench :). Thanks for coming Davy :).

My mommy hand pieced and quilted this quilt for Katelyn. I can't wait to take pics of her laying on it :)

Grammy made this and 2 other gorgeous quilts she gave us for the shower. These heirlooms are so special.

Gramma Jan hugged me and Katelyn kicked her! It was awesome!

Three stages, Miranda has her baby, I'm 7 months, and Kelsey is 12 weeks :)

I've known Miranda & Kelsey since highschool and now one is my sister in law (the blond--Kelsey) and the other will be forever as close as a sister :). I love you both!

Thank you so much to all for everything. I am totally overwhelmed and blessed. Now we just have to wait for her to get here :).

27 Weeks

Today marks the beginning of week 27. This is a "milestone week" in the pregnancy because apparently things are developed enough that if anything were to happen and we had to have the baby premature there is a pretty high chance of survival. While that information is reassuring, we would prefer nothing happen and will continue to pray for a healthy little bundle of joy born at full term (or just 1 or 2 weeks early would be alright with me)

We walked to the park and I took a few photos of Emily. I am still learning quite a bit about photography and it is proving to be a pretty fun hobby. It seems like every time I take a picture I realize something else I could improve upon, hopefully they will just continue to get better.
