Is it really that time of year already?

This is what we woke up to this morning. Compared to the storms we will have in the future this is nothing at all, but it is mid-October! The snow is fun now because we know in about a week it will be warmer again.



This is a summer blooming flower in our front yard....apparently it is a little confused.

Belly picture, as promised. Ignore my somber face. Brad waited for-ev-er in between each click while taking my picture so I didn't really know when to smile. This was taken about a week ago. I feel like my belly has grown even more since then. Have I mentioned I am ready to be done being pregnant? I am so grateful for the bond that pregnancy brings between me and my children (oh wow, that is the first time I have said "children" and not just "child") but I am ready to NOT have another human taking over my body anymore. I already love Garrett so much, I can't wait to hold him and kiss his little toes.

OK, I couldn't resist. Parker was having fun striking poses for me before church this morning.

You look so cute... I love the belly. You're not as big as you think you are, this baby is just so low. I guess he;ll be 7 lbs. 8 oz.
And I love your snow pictures, especially the flowers. Great job.
Love you... hang in there you're almost at the finish line :)

And THAT'S why we live in Hawaii!!! Oh, and I've heard that once you have 2 kids, having more is no problem. (I can't say for myself.) But let me tell you, going from one kid to 2 is huge slap in the face. Once your get over the initial shock of hearing one baby cry while the other one whines and not knowing which to deal with first, it gets easier.

Love, love, love that picture of Parker! So so cute! And your belly pic is adorable! Can't believe you only have TWO weeks left! So fast to me, but I'm sure it's inching by for you...

Wow your almost there! Love the snow pictures. I wish I lived somewhere where it snowed it just reminds me of the holidays that are so quickly approaching! (As you can probably tell, I've never really lived in snow and would probably be sick if it within a weeks time)!

I love you Emily! I miss seeing you and am so happy to see this picture of your beautiful pregnant self. You guys will do great at having 2 boys. If we can do it, you can do it! By the way, one of the most amazing moments of my life was when my older son met my younger son in the hospital for the first time. Make sure you take lots of pictures or video that moment! You'll get teary every time you see it for the rest of your life. I'll be praying for you these next 9 days. You'll do GREAT!
