Happy Birthday Daisy Doodle!!

Daisy received her birthday gift today via UPS. Russ was so excited that he ran downstairs just in time to meet the delivery man at the back door. To Daisy's surprise, her birthday gift didn't turn out to be all that great. Poor Doodle....happy Russ!!!

From Daisy's Bday Present

I LOVE my daddy!

Jonah biscuit posed for the camera. He loves going night night with Russ! Sometimes Jonah and I fight over who gets to cuddle up with Russ at night. Just kidding, we don't fight, I always win. I thought these were really cute pics and wanted to share.


 

Baby Shower Weekend

I'm so blessed to have such amazing friends and family. My sister-in-law and mom's Skylake friends hosted a shower for me on Saturday afternoon. We had so much fun! As I opened each gift, I asked for each person to give me advice on being a new mom. I enjoyed hearing from all the ladies and am thankful for their advice.

Sunday afternoon, Grandma Faye and I drove down to Atlanta for another shower that my mom's friends hosted for me. We played a few baby games, had wonderful food and enjoyed being together. I've posted the pics from the showers. Thank you to everyone that was able to attend, it meant so much to me. Not much longer now!!!

9 Months- The Countdown Begins

 

I'm a little behind posting my 36 week picture. Russ and I have 3 1/2 weeks to go...and it doesn't seem real. We were sitting in the baby's room last night sorting through gifts and talking about how crazy, but amazing it is that we'll have a baby within a month.

California Babymoon

We had an incredible time driving the northern coast of CA. The beauty of the mountains and the ocean literally took our breath away. Our trip started in Half Moon Bay, where we stayed 3 nights. We took a little day trip to Palo Alto and to two wineries which Russ really enjoyed since he had his own personal driver. The 4th day, we drove down to Carmel, through Pebble Beach and then to Monterrey. Pebble Beach was spectacular! Carmel was great, we both loved our stroll through the town and sitting on the beach thinking about how great it would be to live in CA near the ocean. We had a great lunch at this cute little french bistro, got lots of great ideas for new dishes to serve our friends for dinner. We ended the trip by driving back up Hwy 1 to San Francisco. The weather was gorgeous and the food was delicious! If you're ever in S.F., stop in for dinner at Bar Jules. YUMMY!!!
