waiting for Caelyn

So here is what we have been up to while we anxiously await Caelyn's arrival...

Valley Baptist Church is opening a full time preschool this coming September. Jason is in charge of painting massive murals along all the walls in the preschool wing at church. The inner walls, and in every single classroom (there are at least 16 classrooms, maybe more I can't remember) will be a fish tank. In another hallway he will paint a Noah's Ark theme and in the other long hallway the story on Jonah and the whale. It is looking great and he has been working really hard! These are some pictures of the fish he has painted...

Angela drew the jellyfish freehand and Jason painted them!

I have been making Caelyn hairbows for her headbands that I made. Alyssa helped me find a blog online that gives you instructions on how to make them, and Jason thinks I have gone bow crazy...so far I have made a total of 78! I had to make two of most so that when she is old enough to have pigtails the bows are already ready! The other side of the wardrobe has her holiday bow collection! :)

And Penny can't wait to meet Caelyn either! I found her sleeping in the bottom of the hamper in the nursey today. Then next picture you can see her better

I feel good, been sleeping great. All of us are ready for her arrival and to kiss her sweet face! We'll post pictures when she gets here!

Some Maternity Shots

A family friend who is starting a new business taking maternity and newborn pictures asked if we would be her "models" so she could practice. Here are a few of our favorite shots! The pictures are at 38 weeks and 3 days.

the beginning of a blog

We wanted to start a blog so that our family far away can join in on watching our family grow. To start we thought we would just share a few photos....

Penny has a fascination with being on Jason's shoulders. It doesn't matter what he is doing she just likes to be with him. Below are two pictures of Jason's artwork in the nursery. Angela's mom is working on completing some of the bedding and so more pictures of Caelyn's room will follow in the future!!

Here is Angela with only 5 weeks left to go until Caleyn's due date. Look at the excitement!!

Grammie Pammie and Aunt Alyssa just can't wait to hold her and neither can we :)
