Surprise!


We have some very exciting news to share... we're pregnant! I've felt a strange loss of appetite over the past month or so, but didn't think much of it until I started to feel a little nauseous last week. I decided to take a pregnancy test & to my surprise, it was positive!! Because I was still nursing Casen & Collins, I had no idea how far along we were. We went in for a sonogram this morning to measure the baby & estimate his/her gestational age - it turns out that we are already 11 weeks along!

We are thrilled that God is allowing us to experience another pregnancy & give Case & Lainey a little brother or sister - we are SO blessed!

14 months

My mom & I took the kids to Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden in Gladewater this week to take some cute spring pictures. Unfortunately, most of the Daffodils were already past their prime. We still managed to get a few pics & enjoyed getting out in the beautiful weather!


The sun was SO bright! Here are the kids with a few remaining daffodils.


My sweet, sweet babies!


Casen is improving his walking skills & now he wants to walk EVERYWHERE he goes!


Smiley boy!


Collins past her prime... "Mommy, pick me up!!"


We use this chair as a toy box. Case is perched on top of a pile of toys - right in the middle of the action!


Silly boy!


Aunt Suzy described Casen walking "like a crazy starfish"... oddly enough, that's sort of what he looks like! He is so proud of his new skills!


Collins isn't walking independently yet, but she gives Case a run for his money when she's behind her "baby walker". She is very competitive with her brother. When she sees him walking, she wants someone to help support her so she can "walk", too. It won't be long before she takes off on her own. "Watch out world... Here I come!!"


Love those pigtails!


Collins playing with the dump truck.


One of Collins' favorite toys... her racecar from Aunt Lori! She loves to ZOOM it around on the floor.


Collins being silly with her racecar driver.


Window blinds are just SO tempting, mommy!


Love her!!


Wampa with his 2 favorite sidekicks... they're such great buds!
