Charleston with the sisters -Hilton Head with the parents





To say that the trip was amazing would be the understatement of the year. Addison was mostly perfect in every aspect. She did great in the car for 5 hours at a time-going and coming. She slept wonderfully and loved having the attention of the room-at all times. I took WAY too much-but I didn't want to run out of something at 9:00 at night and have to go out on my own and get it. My parents spoiled us rotten-to the point when I got back I really really missed them! They make everything that much easier with Addison and just adore her. I am blessed and thankful for both of them and know that the Lord was very strategic in picking them out for me and picking me out for them!

Courtney's townhouse is awesome and you can be in prayer for her that she finds a job quickly! She has been actively applying for everything under the sun-but no bites yet. God is a provider among many things-don't we all know it! Please say a prayer -as this next week will be one of the busiest in a while. I'm getting in to that "for-real uncomfortable" stage in my pregnancy- 30 weeks next week- so things that wouldn't normally stress me out or become so overwhelming are becoming just that. But I do get so excited about meeting my little man!



Addison loves her Mimi-


Papa!! Addison pronounces it PA PA in a whisper...

Sweet girl



This is actually MY beach chair-that she decided she MUST sit in.



One of her favorite "toys" at the beach-an empty water bottle-who knew?





One of my favorites-this one is going in a frame!

















Also one of my favorites




You can see the skid in the sand that looks like a finger marking the area-yes that would be Addison's little finger-afterwhich she stuck in her mouth and then proceeded to suck the sand off of it. Nice darling-real nice.





So excited to be at the beach!!









One of her new favorite things to do-at the moment-is get up into "big people" seats and then get right back down...






Priceless










One of my beautiful sisters-Courtney















Kim's boyfriend-David-who Addison ADORES!




Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I love the holidays. I'm trying to make Addison a couple different holiday appliqued onesies/turtlenecks to wear. This one is by far my favorite so far...I will post more later- OF COURSE!

This pregnancy has flown by! I hope the next 2 months do as well!! I'm getting anxious to meet the little man especially since his nursery is all done! Be back next week with a blog about Charleston and Hilton Head. Say a prayer for us!

Christina's baby shower

2 months apart exactly :)




All I want to say for this one is- 4-----HOURS------OF------DECORATING------!!!!!!!!!!!

More appliques




I finally got a sewing machine-thanks to a GOOD friend-as an early anniversary present. Once I get to a skill level I'm comfortable with I will consider selling them on ETSY...

































William's Nursery

It's amazing- that for the most part-it turned out EXACTLY how I pictured it when I started desiring to have a little boy! There are only a few more little things-finishing touches- to be done. I went to my 7 month appointment yesterday to primarily do my sugar test and got my results back today-everything's perfect-bloodwork looked great! I asked Mark if I got a prize-like a new Butterfinger shake from Steak and shake-he has yest to answer. In other happenings-Addison starts mother's morning out September 1st for 4 hours in the morning. We are on the waiting list to make it 2 days a week- but I'm praying. Also- I will be heading to Charleston and Hilton Head Island this weekend with Addison to visit sisters (yes plural- they are both there now!) and as a last HOO-RA- before Mr. William is here. My doctor doesn't want me going anywhere in September-and I love her and will obey!! Please say a prayer for the trip there and home- I'm not worried about the there at all!!






My AMAZING sister-in-law painted Proverbs 24:5 up on the wall-by Mark's choosing.
