Nesting

Posted in Pregnancy on August 22nd, 2009 by jen – 3 Comments

It started about two weeks ago while preparing for Michelle and Emmie's visit. Chad was up and down from the attic several times getting down boxes of clothes and nursery bedding. I washed all of those plus the burp cloths and crib sheets. I never knew how many newborn and 3 month clothes we really had! And on top of that, we got even more cute clothes at my Sprinkle.

Yesterday, I got a pedicure in the morning, and then a hair cut in the afternoon. I wanted to get both of those done just in case this little girl decided to be the opposite of her big sister and come early! So, Chad and Molly spent a lot of time together.

I've even made sure that all the bills are paid and gathered together our insurance reimbursement papers. What do you think, is the nesting in full swing?!

Sponge painting playdate

Molly had some friends over today for a sponge painting playdate. I originally found the idea online to put the paper and sponge inside a Ziplok bag to avoid a mess, but it was decided that it would be easier just to sponge paint normally. The girls had a great time and ended up with several pictures each. We made sure to get in a lot of playtime too.

We've been singing the Johnny Appleseed blessing for some time, and Molly now participates very well. So, here she is singing the blessing with us.

When Jen and Michelle headed off for Jen's Sprinkle, they left me to entertain the two little girls. Since I'm leading music at worship this Sunday and needed to practice a bit, I thought a great form of entertainment would be a little live music. I think they enjoyed it.

Molly had fun just hanging out with Emmie. She may be a bit small to really play with, but that didn't stop Molly from doing what she could.

Honoring Baby Girl #2

Posted in Pregnancy on August 14th, 2009 by jen – 2 Comments

While Michelle was here, she and two friends, Christy and Emily, threw me a "Sprinkle."

Pins, Diapers, Bottles Galore,
Jen and Chad are having one more.

Big sister, Molly, has plenty to share,
This is just a "sprinkle" to show that we care.

She will need some of her own clothes that are new.
Please join us to celebrate before baby girl is due

This little girl is going to be stylin' in all her new clothes. It was a great evening and a fun way to do something little to honor Baby Girl #2. Thanks to everyone who came!




You can see the rest of the pictures from the Sprinkle here.

Aunt 'Chelle and Emmie came to visit for a few days this week. We had a great time reading books, going to playgroup, swimming at the pool, and playing at the playground. Molly did wonderfully with Emmie and I'm excited to see her as a big sister! Here are a few highlights from our week.






It was sad to see them go today, but we'll see them again in 6 weeks! You can see the rest of the pictures from their visit here.

Jen already told you about Molly's new big girl room, but I thought you'd like to see some video of her first few minutes in the room. I think she likes it.

Molly loves to sing and dance. Here she's listening to music playing from our AppleTV while pictures from our photo album scroll along the screen (which is why she occasionally says she sees people on the screen). And yes, those are my slippers she's wearing at the beginning.

Here's a bit of Molly playing while we were in Savannah. It's a bit random, but it gives you a good idea of our day-to-day these days.
