Right Round

No words are really needed...

Wanted

I wish I had one of those posters from the old west to hang up on my bedroom door.
WANTED
Sleep
Description: That dreamlike state where you close your eyes and are transported to a place of actual restfulness.  Seemingly illusive now that we are fully into the third trimester.
If you've seen it, please contact the authorities. i.e. me and tell me how to get it back...

Ugh, is February over yet? Someone yell, "Amen!"
To fall asleep tonight, I'm going to count the weeks until I can at LEAST lie on my stomach (don't worry I know sleep is Missing Presumed Dead for a while to come).
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....ahhh

Tiny Dancer

On Saturday we went to Pearson's friend Addison's 3rd Birthday party at the little gym...Pea had a GREAT time dancing, playing games, & celebrating Addison! (p.s. I LOVE Andi's new camera-aren't those shots great?)

Duck & Cover

This morning we took advantage of the super fun sunshine and met our friends Katie and Anna at the park to play and check out the ducks. Of course we stopped for coffee beforehand and I am positive Pearson would have drained my white chocolate americano if I would have let her. Instead we opted for a hot chocolate; currently her favorite. Aside from one nerve-racking instance with a goose who was looking to take down sweet Anna, it was a wonderful time: we love hanging with you girls!

Love Letter

Since it's Valentine's Day I thought I would post a letter that I've been working on to my girls. Tyler, because we first fell in love, now we have this wonderful life. A life I'd never trade...

Dear Pearson & Harper,
Let me first say two things. The first is the most vital: God loves you...desperately. More than you can even imagine and nothing delights Him more than you turning your face to His. Nothing, that is, except for the richest gift that you could give to Him and that is your whole heart. He sought you, created you, designed you, died for you & will always wait on your love, your acceptance in return. Just as He is the only one who can ever fill you completely, you alone can complete a piece of Him. Never forget your worth; you were created and loved by the God of all things.
The second thing is that before your dad or I ever laid eyes on you; you were wanted, loved, honored, delighted in, and cherished. You were designed by the most creative creator who gave you life. You are unique and wonderfully made. You are a blessing; we are blessed of be your parents. Without doubt, you were both meant for this family, meant to be sisters, meant for us to raise, and meant for such a time as this. God makes no mistakes. There are no coincidences. He lives and moves, He works on our behalf, & blesses abundantly. I ask you both not to believe any of the enemies lies regarding gifts. Because he will lie to you repeatedly...the bottom line is: You ARE worthy & possess a beauty beyond all measure because you were created in His image.

Your dad and I will do our best to raise you to know Him. We will always strive to recognize who God made you to be; that you are two different people who are uniquely created for two different lives. That said, we hope you will always love, rely on and stay connected to each other in the good times and the bad. We also understand that we will make some mistakes along the way because we are human, but please know now that we LOVE you far beyond and despite our shortcomings.

Our hearts are first God's and then yours, we love you!

xoxo,

Mama

Be Mine

This morning we decided to do our Valentine's for family & friends...we did our Valentine's nails too (pretty in pink;)
...OF COURSE, Pea picked the princess ones instead of the super cute funky ones I wanted, but alas the child wins! Pea was LOVING coloring these and making them her own. They are for her favorite people so she announced each one as if it was a most prized possession. Sadly, the only "boy" one she made was for our Enzo...sorry Papa's and Daddy don't count. We LOVE you all! Happy Valentine's Day!! xoxo

BIG

My little girl is getting so BIG & I thought a photo sesh to capture this moment in time was in order:

Sidenote: Lately, Pea says she's a tiger ALL the time this last picture is a wonderful example of her ROAR!

BIRTH(day)

Birthdays are our theme this week! Today I went in for my 30 week doctor appt. and officially put myself on the hospital's schedule to deliver Miss Harper Reen on April 12th (which is a Monday)! SO...barring any unforseen complications or my water breaking early-this is her BIRTH day ladies and gents! Harper, we are so excited and can't wait to kiss your sweet little FACE...mmmwa <3

It is your birthday.

Happy 28th Birthday to my Tyler!
We LOVE you (even if you hate attention or getting your picture taken;). Here's to you & ALL you do for us! We hope you have the BEST day ever,
love,
C & P (and H too...she's kicking and I'm SURE it's because she's excited about your birthday!)

Have Her Cake

AND Eat it too...

For Pearson this means spending time with Daddy, helping mommy bake a cake for him (tomorrow is his BIRTHDAY!), and then proceeding to devour said cake! After we sang him Happy Birthday, she pretty much ate an entire piece by herself which was quite a mouth full! We put red hots on his cake because Daddy was joking around with Pea earlier saying he wanted pepperoni's on his cake...

We love you Daddy!
