Well, this is just about all the guys in our family, we were just missing a few.  It's so nice to see everyone when we get together as a family!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

William could definitely feel that there was something truly special about this time of year.  Hope we can make that same magic for him this year!!!  Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa, Papa, and his cousin...good times!!!

2013 Winter Magic

Here's some more early December magic-the first snow of the season, and his first advent calendar, which I made for him.  He LOVED it SO much!  Can't wait to do it again this year!!!

Fabulous Friday Flashback-More Pregnancy Photos from 2012

I had to go into the hospital Friday, July 13th, because my blood pressure was too high.  So they began giving me pitocin hoping that it would induce labor.  I had some appallingly painful contractions over the course of the few days I was there with no progress in the labor.  No epidural because I wasn't dilated enough or some garbage like that.  So yeah.  OUCH!!!  We decided that I would just go home and be on bedrest and see if labor would start naturally on it's own.  That didn't happen, and so after a couple more days we went into the hospital again to have William, for real this time.  And that is a whole other story.  Anyway, these scrapbook pages chronicle that time.




I know this may scandalize some people, but I absolutely love these pictures of enormously pregnant me, dancing naked.  I felt like such an earth mama, a fertility goddess.  I loved it!
