bittersweet

2010-09-08T06:40:00.000-07:00

If you loved the quote that I posted from "Cold Tangerines" then you should head over here, she is giving away Shauna's new book "Bittersweet". Good luck!

cold tangerines

2010-09-02T08:27:00.000-07:00

I am re-reading one of my favorite books (cold tangerines). I came across a paragraph that says better then I ever could how I wish my thought process was every day....

"I don't want to wait anymore. I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day. I choose to believe that there may be a thousand big moments embedded in this day, waiting to be discovered like tiny shards of gold. The big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grab on to and extend to one another. That's the drama of life, swirling all around us, and generally I don't even see it, because I'm too busy waiting to become whatever it is I think I am about to become. The big moemts are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting."

desk revamp

2010-08-18T08:25:00.000-07:00

I have this desk (below) that my computer has been sitting on for about 4 years now. I have disliked the desk since we bought it. It has never matched and we bought it because it was cheap and we needed something. So yesterday I did something about it!

I took some brown paint we had left over from our basement and painted everything except the white draw and the top/sides.

Then I took a some super cute paper and decopodged it on the top and sides to make it look "quilty".
I love it!

It now looks like it belongs in the house and less like it got stuck in the house.

Antiques to Treasures

2010-07-27T09:54:00.000-07:00

This past weekend my mom and I went to Traverse City to do some antiquing. We had so much fun walking through endless antique stores and various other types of stores. These were my great finds (granted on was on from and antique store). So the first one is this amazing linen/cotton blend that is going to be some inspired by something in a store we saw up there (pics to come when done). The shoes, yes I got those from an antique store also...love them and they fit great! The platter (i have two) is going to become something else...you will have to wait and see on that one. The last two are just fun little things for me. If you have never been to an antique store I highly recommend it, I love looking at old things and seeing how you can use them again or make them in to something new!

T Shirt

2010-07-12T18:18:00.000-07:00

So this was a first attempt...I would do a lot different in the next one, but all in all a good first attempt. The idea came from Matt, he was watching a movie and saw a girl wearing a shirt with a collar like this and said he thought it would look good on me. So my brain started turning and this is what I came up with. I had the material and the blue is an old shirt of Matt's cut up. So far I like it, we will see how it handles the real world of mommyness. Sorry about the pics...it was a lot harder to take pics of myself than of my cutie-patotie little diva model.

Happy 4th

2010-06-30T17:10:00.000-07:00

We started our celebration of the 4th a little early with a new top. We are headed up to the cabin for the weekend. We are going to go to the parade up there and so I decided Addi needed a festive top that wasn't overly 4thy (so that it can be worn more than once). I borrowed a top from that a friend had bought at a craft fair and fashioned this after that. Turned out pretty cute. I would also like to note that my little model in the making came up with her poses all by herself (I am in big trouble)!

DIY wrap bracelet

2010-06-24T08:05:00.000-07:00

I saw a bracelet like this in a magazine the other day and loved it...the one in the magazine was over $100 (a bit out of my budget). I went to the mall the other day and searched all over for a knock off version and couldn't fine one any where so, I made one. I found the instructions here. I got all the supplies at Hobby Lobby for a ton cheaper then the original. It was supper easy to do and only took a couple of hours. I used beading wire instead of the thread, but just because I couldn't find the thread in the color I wanted. I love taking things that I have seen in the stores or magazines and making them myself.

haircuts

2010-06-22T07:27:00.000-07:00

So I gave the kids haircuts the other day...Addi's ended up a bit shorter than planned but very cute. Gavin was a bit harder to keep still but he is going for the messy look so it works. I think my hairdresser friends would be proud.

Addi's New Top

2010-05-26T17:50:00.000-07:00

So this was my project for this week...turned out cute. I have changes that I will make on the next one. It is the perfect summer top for this heat! I might make one for myself :-)

Isn't she so cute, what you don't see is that I had to bribe her with mini marshmellows.

Happy Birthday to...

2010-03-01T10:49:00.000-08:00

...Addison and Gavin! We had two birthday parties this past month, one first birthday party and one third birthday. Can't believe how fast time is flying by!

Febuary...

2010-02-24T12:00:00.000-08:00

So this month has been a bit crazy around here....I got a new job at MVP as a MOD. We celebrated Gavin's first birthday (pics to come later). Matt was offered a job up in Ludington, MI. We are celebrating Addison's third birthday the friday. Life seems to have sped up by 120% in the last couple of months.
We are still figuring out all the details about the Ludington job...like a place for Matt to stay up there till we can get the house sold. The house hopefully will be on the market soon (anyone want a realy nice fairly new house in Hamilton?).
So lots of prayers for all the details to be worked out. We know that God is going to work, we are just waiting to see which way.

Looking Back....

2010-01-01T10:43:00.001-08:00

Wow it has been one of those years where you look back and think, did this all really happen in one year! It did! Have a happy new year everyone!

2009-12-20T14:25:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone has a JOYFULL CHRISTMAS!

Remembering the TRUE reason for the SEASON!

Tea Party

2009-06-23T07:16:00.001-07:00

We are loving this warmer weather and being outside. Today we had a tea party out on the deck, so much fun to pour the water into all the cups over and over again. Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather!

2009-05-07T07:24:00.000-07:00

2009-04-22T05:10:00.000-07:00

Gavin is getting so big! I can't believe how fast he is growing. We go for his 2 month appointment already today, oh how time flys.

With the nice weather we were able to get outside a bit. Addison is still working on the whole peddel concept. Hopefully by the end of the summer.

Gavin is such a cute kid, he has makes a ton of faces and hates it when he can't see what is going on.

Basement

2009-03-24T06:05:00.000-07:00

Last week we started working to finish our basement, yea! We are going to have a living room, 1/2 bath, bedroom, and storage room down there. I am so excited to be able to take most of the toys out of our upstairs and put them down in the living room down stairs. Matts cousin came to help with the framing and realy did a great job. My dad has been doing the wiring and water and has done a great job. We really appreciate all the help.

Happy Birthday Addison

2009-03-01T16:20:00.001-08:00

Addison's second Birthday was on the 27th, I can't believe she is two already! As you can see she is all about Disney Princesses. Her party even had a Princess theme. It was fun this year because she had a better understanding of what her Birthday was about. She loved opening all her presents and even helped Matt put together her new tricycle. We all had a great time celebrating her Birthday!

Big Sister Love

2009-02-26T09:53:00.000-08:00

Addison is loving being a big sister. She loves to hold Gavin and is always bring him toys and setting them on him in his swing. She has much love for her little brother.

Gavin

2009-02-19T10:41:00.000-08:00

Welcome Gavin Stewart Roosien, born Feb 18, 2009. He was 8lbs 7oz and 191/2 inches long.

Big Sister Addison is doing great, she is all excited about giving her big brother toys and kisses. Mommy and Daddy are doing great too.

Comming Soon

2009-02-06T15:19:00.000-08:00

It is getting close to the time that we will get to meet the new addition to our family. No we are not having twins. Since we don't know if we are having a boy or girl I made a hat for each so we will be prepared. We can't wait to introduce the new little one to everyone!

Princess Addison

2009-01-14T13:12:00.000-08:00

Addison's new favorite thing is to dress up in her princess outfits. She gets up from her nap and automatically says princess and goes to her princess trunk. Here are some of pics that came from our "princess photo shoot". :-)

Merry Christmas

2008-12-22T14:00:00.001-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone, the picture above is from the Roosien Christmas Party and no this horse was not a gift or come home with us, but the girls did love playing with it. The pic below is Matt teaching Addi how to make snow angels. This is the snow we had before the blizzard, we have gotten a ton more since and it is still comming down. Have a Very Mery Christmas Everyone!

Snow

2008-12-08T06:37:00.001-08:00

This past weekend was the Black girls Annual Christmas shopping weekend, so Matt and Addi were home alone. We also got our first big snow.

This is Addi's first snowman and I hear she put the head on all by her self.

Matt said she loved the snow and didn't want to come in. She followed him up and down the driveway as he shoveled it. They had a great weekend together and I had lots of fun with the girls shopping.

Christmas Parade

2008-12-02T07:26:00.001-08:00

We went to the Zeeland Christmas Parade last night with the Roosien family. It was cold but the girls stayed nice and warm all bundled up in there snow gear. It was a cute parade. Dinner and hot chocolate at Chris and Angelas before keept us toasty warm through the parade.

Little Lady Bug

2008-11-03T08:59:00.000-08:00

Hope you all had a great Halloween. We had a very busy weekend and enjoyed it all.

Our little lady bug loved saying trick or treat. She even figured out that if she stood there long enough people usually gave her a second piece of candy. Smart girl.

Her cousin Mikayla was Minnie Mouse and the pair got a lot of attention.

Happy Fall

2008-10-19T16:58:00.000-07:00

Cousins

2008-09-29T12:42:00.000-07:00

We went to the park for Mikayla's Birthday on Saturday and had lots of fun playing on the playground. Addi especially liked the slide and wanted to keep going up and then down. We had amazing weather...didn't feel much like fall.

Kitchen Remodel

2008-09-03T08:05:00.000-07:00

Addison's new favorite toy.

Yoga Baby

2008-08-06T13:58:00.001-07:00

Happy 4th

2008-07-08T12:53:00.001-07:00

We went to the July 4th parade in Marquette, the festivities totally wore Addison out. She didn't even make it back to the car before she fell asleep.
She wasn't so sure of the lake at camp but then Matt showed her how to float with out tipping forward and she liked it a lot more.
Lake Superior was a bit cold to swim in. Addison still loved running around and checking everything out.

Surprise!

2008-06-21T07:49:00.000-07:00

You might not be able to read Addison's shirt real well, but if you could you would see that it says "I'm A BIG Sister".

Yes....Addison will be a BIG Sister around Feb. 14, 2009!

Pool Party

2008-06-19T18:12:00.000-07:00

Addison got this pool for her birthday and we have been waiting for a warm day to get out. Today was perfect and we spent a lot of time outside. Our neighbor Noah even came over to join in the fun. Addison wasn't real sure about the water that "rained" down from the canopy. We had a great day in the sun!

Guitar Hero

2008-06-03T17:24:00.000-07:00

Addison like to play along with Matt while he plays guitar hero. She even has her own guitar. Our little rock star in the making!

Memorial Weekend

2008-05-27T06:57:00.001-07:00

We had a great long weekend! We enjoyed having Aunt Jessie here also. She was a little camera shy and the one picture I did get she made me promise I wouldn't post. Addison enjoyed the park in downtown Holland. She wasn't so sure about the water at the beach, but that could have been cause it was a bit cold. Have a great week everyone!

Weekend Fun

2008-05-19T16:16:00.000-07:00

This weekend the Roosien women went to UPBC's first annual womens retreat and had a great time. The guys had the girls for the weekend and took them to the zoo. The girls loved the animals and were realy excited about there new hats from Grandpa Roosien.

DIY

2008-04-12T17:17:00.001-07:00

So today we decided to paint our wall in the main room. This is how it started.

We came home with this wonderfull color "Majestic Grape". Matt thinks the name is silly.

Matt did most of the painting because we quickly figured out that I was not the best painter. Oh well I was in charge of watching Addi, filling the paint tray and moving the drop cloth.

We Love how it turned out!

Happy Easter

2008-03-25T12:23:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter! We had dinner at Matt's parents house and Addi got the cutest basket with her name on it and everything.
She love the little care bear we gave her for Easter and loved carring around her basket.

She was not so thrilled about the hat I had got her to wear with her Easter dress. Oh well, we had a great day!

Butterfly Fun

2008-03-22T08:03:00.000-07:00

My parents came over yesterday for the day and we went to Fredrick Meijer Gardens to see the butterfly exhibit. All the butterfly's were beautiful.

Addison was a little tired so mostly hung out with Matt and observed and the pretty flying around.

Grandpa and Grandma Black did bring her a special Easter basket. Addison loved all the little treats inside!

Have a Great Easter everyone!

Cupcake Crazy

2008-02-25T12:02:00.001-08:00

Happy 1st Birthday Addison (technically not till Wed.)! We had a great party on Sat. night.

My mom made these amazing cupcake cakes. Not only were the pretty but tasted delicious!

Aunt Jessie painted this chair for Addison's Birthday, we are still trying to get her to sit on it and not stand on it.

She loved her first taste of cake, no icing just cool whip though. Everyone was disappointed that she didn't dive right in, but was very lady like with her eating. It was a great party and we just want to thank everyone who helped and came to celebrate with us!

Happy V-Day

2008-02-18T06:43:00.000-08:00

Happy V-Day (a little late). We were up north at the cabin. We went to the UP 200 dog sled race. It was very fun to see the dogs pull the sleds, but very cold. Then we got to go snowboarding at the Porkeys. It was a great Valentines weekend. I finished this had just in time. The only problem is that it is to small for Addi (she is growing so fast). Have a great week everyone!

2008-02-11T07:07:00.000-08:00

Addison was excited to help Matt with hanging up pictures, as we start to make our new house our own. It is comming together slowly, but is so fun to get to decorate a new place and figure out where we want everything. We can't wait for you all to see it. So if you are ever out our way give us a call. :-)

UPDATE!

2008-01-31T18:25:00.000-08:00

I know is have been a while since we updated (sorry)...so here are a couple of Addi. House pictures will come soon, PROMISE! You can get a glimpse if you look past Addi :-)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

2007-11-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We had a great Thanksgiving this year. It was Addison's first Thanksgiving this year so no Turkey for her, but she had fun with eveyone. She was so tired after everyone left she took a three hour nap (love that). Which gave us time to start decorating the house for Christmas...the Roosien girls waste no time. Have a great Holiday season!

2007-11-20T07:39:00.000-08:00

I know it isn't Christmas yet, but our Bible Study group @ Ada put together a wreath for Consider Christmas @ Ada. We did such a good job I just had to show it off. :)

Our Lil Pumpkin

2007-10-31T16:18:00.000-07:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My cousin Mikayla came over to trick-or-treat at Grandma Roosien's. We were the cutest pumpkins ever seen.
This leave picture is for Grandma Black we know she loves pictures in leaves!

Fall!

2007-10-22T18:51:00.003-07:00

It was such a wonderful fall weekend we just had to get out and take some pics.

Go Blue!

2007-09-20T07:58:00.000-07:00

It might be a rough year for the team....but they sure do have the cutest cheerleader!

Day-O-Fun

2007-08-07T10:27:00.000-07:00

We went to Holland beach on Saturday afternoon and then went to dinner. Addison loved to watch the boats in the water and we enjoyed the time outside, it was an amazing day.

Local Numbers

2007-07-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

We thought this would be the easiest way to let everyone know that we got new phone numbers. Matt's number is 616-350-4078 and mine is 616-350-4077. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Talk to you all soon.

Whats Going On!

2007-06-26T17:39:00.001-07:00

I know it has been a while since we posted anything, it has been a crazy past couple of weeks. We are now living with Matt's parents in there basement. All of our stuff is still in the boxes stacked in the basement living room, it is a little frustrating because I still can't find things. Grrrrrr. On a happier note Addison has her own bedroom for the first time, and is doing very well sleeping in her own crib. She got to go for her first swim at my parent's pool. Over all life back in MI is good. I be better at keeping up the blog, now that we are somewhat settled.

2007-06-07T20:19:00.000-07:00

A few pics of what Addison has been up to lately!

Our Town

2007-05-24T07:37:00.000-07:00

As most of everyone knows we are moving in a couple of weeks. We are very excited to be comming back. We just wanted to show you the town that we have been living in for the past 3 years. The first picture is our rowhome apartment(blue one) , the top two set of windows are our apartment. The rest are the street behind our rowhome, where all the shops and resturants are. It has been fun to have everything so close.

Style Star

2007-05-18T12:38:00.000-07:00

The newest hairstyle for the littlest rockers
Yes my shoes and socks match the outfit, doesn't everyones?

No more photos please.
I get so tired after my photo shoots.

D.C.

2007-05-07T17:05:00.000-07:00

For Matt's B-Day on Sat we went down to D.C. with our friends Dustan and Mary. We had a great time walking around the city, even if it was raining a bit. It was our last big night out before we all move this summer (Addison even had her first sitter). Mary is moving back on the 18th of May. We will miss hanging out with them after we move. Pictures were takin with Mary's amazing new camera.

Mary Kay

2007-04-27T09:50:00.000-07:00

Addison went to her first Mary Kay meeting last night and had a great time. She got to meet my two favorite directors, my director Windy and her sister director Jen. It was fun to get back to the meetings and see the girls again. Addison just loves all the Mary Kay products and thinks that everyone should have the chance to try them. If you would like to try the products or are just looking for a new look she would love to help her mom give you a complementary Mary Kay make-over. :-) Contact us and we can set up an appointment and even let you know how you can get product for free!

Inner Harbor

2007-04-21T17:03:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Inner Harbor with our friends Mary, Dustan and their daughter Reyce. We had lots of fun taking pictures (they just got an amazing new camara, can't wait to see the pics) and enjoying the great 70 degree weather.

Guatemala Get Together

2007-04-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Last night we went to the get together for the team that went to Guatemala. They gave a report of what they did done there. The students did the skits that thye did for the VBS, they were amazing. We also heard some testimonies of what the trip meant to different students. It was great to see everyone, I miss seeing them everyday. They were all excited to see Addi and couldn't wait to hold her. She got lots of love last night from everyone. We will miss our CCA fam when we move!

Still in MI

2007-04-05T11:22:00.000-07:00

We are still in MI we will be in the state till the Mon. after Easter. It has been fun, Addison has met all kind of new people. She has been spoiled with two more showers, she is very excited about her new clothes and toys. Her favorite so far as you can see is her pink catepiler, she likes to talk to it and sing along while it plays music.
This is Great Grandma Roosien and Grandma Roosien at one of her parties
Great Grandma Black was very excited to hold her first Great Grandchild.
Uncle Jason was lots of help while we stayed with my parents, he is very excited to teach Addison how to play disc golf.
After all that fun Addison was very tired but was glad to see her daddy when he got back from Guatemala. Matt had a good week and they worked hard as you can see he was prety tired too.

What a Week!

2007-03-23T19:47:00.000-07:00

Well Matt and I came back to MI this past Monday for Matt's Grandpa Roosien's funeral, he died last Sat. afternoon and will be missed by all the family. Addison rode on her first plane and did really well, all the flight attendants thought she was so cute! Matt had to fly back on Wed. to get ready to go to Guatemala for a missions trip. He leaves early Sat. morning with 29 students and 10 other adults for the Shalom School. They will be doing VBS for the kids and also building houses for some of the church community. Addison has been missing him a lot. She will miss him even more while he is in Guatemala because she won't be able to talk to him. We will both be very excited to see him again when he comes back.

Grandma Black's visit

2007-03-11T10:29:00.000-07:00

Grandma Black is visiting for a week to help out with baby Addison. We are really glad she is here! While she was here we took Addison out to walk around Old Ellicott City. She attracted a lot of attention from people in town, they thought she was beautiful.

Proud Daddy

2007-03-04T12:08:00.000-08:00

More Addison Pics

2007-02-28T08:42:00.000-08:00

'Ello all, this is the new papa. Here are some more pics of our new daughter. She is so beautiful. She is already changing each day.

Welcome Addison!!

2007-02-27T13:22:00.000-08:00

We would like to introduce you to Addison Marie Roosien. She was born Feb. 27, she is 7lb 11oz and a little over 19 inch. The nurses all say she looks like Matt, but my mom says she looks just like I did when I was born. Baby is doing very well, and her parents are excited and can't wait to introduce her to everyone.

Due Date?

2007-02-24T10:09:00.000-08:00

Well the due date has come and gone (Feb 22). The plan is that we are going into the hospital on Sunday night and will be induced on Monday morning. Aunt Jessie is very excited being that Monday is her birthday. There are no guarantees that it will work and if that is the case then we will have to discuss other options. We had an ultra-sound and baby is doing good, just in no hurry to go anywhere. :-) We will keep you all posted as much as possible.

2007-02-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

These are our friends Todd and Kari, they came to visit us this past fall. A little late on the pictures (oops). Anyway we had a great time showing them around D.C., Baltimore, and are cute little town of Ellicott City (that is the part of it in the picture of the boys. We loved having them come visit us and we can't wait to hang out with them in Chicago one of these days.

Better late than never!

2007-01-31T13:40:00.000-08:00

I know I have been a delinquent at updating this, so sorry!
So here is the fam over Christmas at the "top of the world" in Marquette.

As you see, we had a little confusion on where exactly the "top of the world" was. We enjoyed the scenery along the way.

My dream house, granted I might change a couple of the paint colors but you get the idea. How amazing it is.

I have become quite the little domestic diva, in the last few months. This is the "girl" hat, I am starting the "boy" one, since we don't know what we are having it is best to be prepared.

And last but not least (I mean look at me), here I am at 36 weeks. Everything is going well and on schedule so far for Feb 22. Yea! I am ready to meet the little one.

So all in all it has been a good couple of months, we had a great Christmas visiting all the family. We are enjoying getting ready for baby. Matt is very excited and anxious as you might all expect to get to hold the baby. Can't wait to introduce the new little one to all of you!!!

Lots-o-showers

2006-12-06T05:15:00.000-08:00

This past weekend was baby shower crazy. We had two surprise baby showers. One on friday night given by both the J.V. Boys and Girls soccer teams. It was such a surprise.

The other one was Saturday given by my girls here in Maryland Mary and Amy. Then over Thanksgiving the Degrots threw Angela and I a joint shower with the family. The chair that Matt and I are sitting in is our new rocker from his family. It is the most comfortable rocker ever. We are definitely truly blessed above and beyond.

This is me at 29 weeks for those of you who have been looking for a picture. Thanks to Mary's pushing (she actually brought the camera to the house) we got one to post. :-)

Champions

2006-11-03T06:20:00.000-08:00

Matt coaches the J.V. Boys soccer team here at Chapelgate, and last night they won the championship 2-0. They played great, it was a good game. Way to go boys!

Happy Pumpkin Day

2006-11-01T11:56:00.000-08:00

Our friends Dustan, Mary and their adorable little one year old, Reyce, came over after trick-or-treating. She had the cutest little red ridding hood costume. I thought Dustan should have dressed up like the big bad wolf but he didn't so much agree. Hope all had a Happy Pumpkin day!

We had our 20 week Dr.'s appointment yesterday and everything is looking good. We got to see the baby and hear the heart beat (140). These are a couple of the pictures from the ultrasound. Matt's favorite is the one of the profile of the face because you can see the baby's cute little nose. I like the one of the feet, because feet are very important if one is going to be soccer star.

The Wedding

2006-10-04T11:01:00.000-07:00

We went to Megan's (my cousin) wedding a couple of weekends ago and had fun seeing all the fam. The wedding was very beautiful and so was my family. :-)

Who would have thought we all cleaned up so nice. We didn't even mean to coordinate color schemes.

For those of you who don't know the mystery man sitting extreamly close to my cute sister is her boyfriend Billy. We like him especially since he is so willing to take the blame for everything (it is always Billy's fault)

All the cousins, the family is definately growing up.

Our New Niece

2006-09-29T05:43:00.000-07:00

The Proud new parents of Mikayla Joelle Roosien. Isn't she adorable! We are so excited for them, can't wait to meet her. Love you guys!

Precious

Jessica was feeling a little left out because she hadn't made the blog yet :-) So here she is my little sis Precious.

Getting bigger

2006-09-13T05:34:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Black is pretty excited about the new little one. I hear he is even making plans to camping and hiking already (I wonder how small they make hiking boots?)

So here it is, this is me at the start of week 17. I am feeling good, still getting tired faster but I guess that comes with the territory.

Doctor's

2006-09-07T06:49:00.000-07:00

I went to the Dr.'s yesterday, and everything is going good. I heard the heartbeat, it is weird to think there is another little heart in there. The Doctor said I am doing good, she said I gained 2 pounds since my last visit, I personally think there is something wrong with her scale because I feel like I have gained like 10! I will put a picture up soon, so you all can see what I mean. :-) Other than that Matt and I are both coaching soccer and staying busy.

Alien?

2006-08-03T07:37:00.000-07:00

Matt and I went to the doctor yesterday for our second visit and everything is going smoothly. We had another sonogram, the baby was real squirmy and kicking (soccer player already). We got the official due date which is Feb 25 (Jessica's B-Day is the 26th). The doctor said everything was looking normal, we saw the spine, brain, and even a little of the face (kind of looks like an alien). Our next appointment isn't untill the beginning of September.

Our First Baby Picture!!!

This is a sonogram picture of our first baby!!! This picture was taken when the baby was 8weeks and 3 days old.
