Delivering presents to the kids...

Here are a few pictures from last weekend when we delivered presents to our adorable nephews & niece. Connor & Riley received a custom superhero cape with spider man/ "C" or superman & "R" with an eye mask & book about becoming the best superhero. Peyton received a "my first purse" set & Collin got the new Crayola "Color me a Song" drawing board. All the kids had fun & it seemed are ready to open more presents on Christmas day!

Marking things off the baby list...

Things are really moving along for us. Ken made 4 appointments to meet pediatricians in the area between now & January. We already really like the first office we visited & the pediatrician seemed great. We feel so lucky to already have a great option so soon. We are still going to meet with the other docs so we make the best decision for us & Landon. We went on the hospital tour tonight & were really happy with that decision as well. Everyone else on the tour is within 4-8 weeks of delivery, but it makes me feel so much better to be doing these things early. After we make all the major decisions we can focus on the fun stuff & basics like diapers and wipes.

We are going out of town for Ken's birthday this weekend & I'm so excited. He doesn't know where we are going, but I think it will be really great for us to spend the weekend together & Monday (his birthday) just enjoying our time together.

Christmas at our House

We have two Christmas trees this year & I really enjoyed having my themed tree for at least another year. I'm sure things will be different with little Landon & we look forward to all the handmade ornaments he will bring home from school in the future. I don't think I posted a photo of our tree yet so thought I'd share. This year's theme was "A partridge in a pear tree". Next year the only plans I have is to do a "Planes, Trains, & Automobile's" theme for our extra white tree for our little man. I thought it would be cute to use all wooden toys & wrap in brown packing paper. We've delivered most of our Christmas presents to our family already & wish all of you a wonderful holiday!

Calling All Parents

I would like to know if there is any advice that new parents or others could offer about what to do to prepare for baby Landon? He will be here in a few short months & maybe you can help us by suggesting things you may have forgotten or delayed before the baby arrived. This could be about the anything. I just want to work on the stuff I can now before life with Landon gets crazy. And yes, I'm getting lots & lots of sleep! Hope to hear from you all!

Enjoying our time together...

Kenny & I are really trying to maximize our time together before Landon arrives because we know it will be different then. Tonight we went to Roper Mtn. Lights to enjoy the lights & s'mores as we prepare for the holidays. We had alot of fun & can't wait until our little man can join us on a future visit. Also, I purchased a book of 365 stories & rhymes for little boys as a gift for Kenny. Every night he chooses something to read to Landon & it's been a nice time for us to connect as a family.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving with both of our families. We had dinner at my mom's first at noon & then on to Ken's sister's house in the evening. It was all delicious, I'm only wishing today that we had grabbed some leftovers. We woke up early at 3 am to make it to Wal-mart for a few deals we were searching for. We never get up that early but found everything we were looking for & didn't get in any fights. We went to a few others stores before returning home about noon to take a nap. Now I'm just working on wrapping Christmas presents & finishing the decorations at home. We both feel that we have so much to be grateful for & we count our blessings everyday! I can't believe that little Landon will join us at the next Thanksgiving meal. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A Cause for Celebration!

I spent Saturday with Landon's two wonderful grandma's. We met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel & then drove to the outlets in Commerce, GA. I had a few coupons for some of my favorite stores & we spent the day looking for cute outfits for him. I've already purchased the bedding at TJ Maxx & the diaper bag I loved. His room will be decorated with a music theme using guitars & records- more to come on that. I thought the diaper bag fit our style & would be better for daddy to carry since it wasn't so cutesy. I know Kenny will be gaga for Landon so I'm sure he wouldn't have minded. Take a look at our pictures from the weekend. We all dressed in blue in celebration for the "little man" who has already stolen our hearts. :)
