SNOW DAY!!!

Ireland got her first snow experience today, and she had a blast! We played in the yard and out on the golf course, and even built a tiny snowman! Ireland was celebrating the UNC basketball victory over GA Tech last night that Daddy got to see and arrived home from at 1AM! Enjoy all of the pictures, it was lots of fun!

In other news, everyone can mark their calendars for March 31st as the day baby #2 will arrive. We will be checking into the hospital at 5AM, and the baby should be here around 6AM!!! We are very excited!

Happy Holidays!!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! Sorry it has been so long! Ireland had a wonderful 2nd Christmas. She is growing up so fast it makes me sad:) She is talking like crazy and Kevin and I really enjoyed being off for a few days to spend extra time with her. It was hard to go back work.

These first few photos are from Christmas Eve. We spent the evening with my family! I do not have any pictures but Ireland was very blessed to get to spend her 2nd Christmas with her Mimi and Popi (my grandparents) As you can see she loves her cousin Alex and is never far from her side.

Ireland has so many new toys and clothes it is crazy! She got a kitchen and her Aunt RaRa and Uncle Tim bought her toys to go in it. So now we have 39 kitchen pieces thrown all over the house. Ireland has not caught on to the fact that the toys are supposed to stay in the kitchen.















Christmas Morning!!! Ireland slept in until 9 am that morning. She never sleeps that late. Kevins parents and Aunt stayed with us and we enjoyed Christmas morning with them. We put Ireland in her cute Christmas nightgown and let her go to town on her presents. She had so many she only opened a few of them in the morning and we did more later in the day and the next day. You can see her new kitchen and we got her a baby doll and stroller in anticipation of the new baby. She is still not real sure of the baby doll. Hopefully she will be ready in 13 weeks when the baby is due.

She is such a good baby. We absolutly love spending time with her! We cannot wait for our new addition to our family. I am currently 27 weeks along so we only have about 3 months to go.







Here is a cute picture from the holidays of her wearing her new boots. She loved them!



Ok this may be one of our favorite pictures! Ireland has what we have termed the "mean look" she will try to give it and then she will crack up laughing.

Happy Halloween!!

Is she not the cutest supergirl ever?? She is such a happy baby!



I volunteered at the daycare yesterday because they were having their big halloween parade and party. They had 125 kids dressed up and walking around. These pictures do not do justice to the chaos that was happening at the school. Ireland was in shock watching all the kids.











Ireland has 9 kids in her part of the class. I love how when the food comes out they are all on their best behavior:))





After school we stopped by Aunt Alesha and Uncle Tims house. Ireland loves her cousin Alex who was the cutest girl football player ever. Ireland is lucky to have such a cool cousin! ( Sorry TJ you were not there)









I had my check up today with the vascular surgeon. They think they can go in and tie off the vein that is causing me so much pain. It will be an in office procedure and hopefully it will be done in the next 2 weeks. She can only do half the procedure until I have the baby and then she will finish it. It will offer me some relief though.

I have had a tough week. Yesterday I found out I had a sinus infection then this morning at work I fell up the stairs. (yes up the stairs) and ended up with a small hairline fracture in my left wrist. I am wearing a brace and have to go back Monday for more x-rays. Kevin leaves to go out of town Sunday and since I cannot lift Ireland the two of us will be having a week long sleep over with my parents so they can help me with her.
