Ready for the Week!

Most of the time I love weekends, but this week, I am excited for the actual week! After a busy weekend, I am really looking forward to this week since its Thanksgiving and with that comes food, family and must needed time off. Jon and I had a packed weekend with a family wedding on Saturday (Jon's uncle Dave got married), then I had a full weekend of work Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. The wedding was small and so beautiful. They got married at their church, then the reception was at a restaurant on the water in Long Beach called Tantalum where the food was amazing. We had a really good time and ate way too much!

So after that full weekend, when I got home around 4pm this afternoon, I crashed. It was like a flash back to college when Sundays were "nap days". Oh how I miss those days. I better get those in the next few months because I have a feeling the baby won't let me have those every week. Luckily, this week is a really short work week (only Monday and Tuesday), and we even get Tuesday night off, when Jon and I usually lead a small group for 5th graders at our church.

I am excited for Thanksgiving--traditionally a day full of family, football, games, and food! We are going over to my aunts house this year so get to stay close to home, which is nice. Jon's family goes out to Palm Springs each year, so unfortunately we can't split our time with them as well. But it will be kind of nice to be able to stay in once place for a holiday instead of running around all day. I hope all of you have a GREAT holiday and enjoy spending time with your family and friends! Happy Thanksgiving!

Ezekiel Time!

Here are some pics of our time with Ezekiel! He spent yesterday and half of today with us while Bethany is away at a Women's Retreat and Kevan is working. It was really fun, and Jon and I appreciated the "practice time" we got as parents. Here is the cute little boy!
Ezekiel became obsessed with Roxy's doggy door. He spent a lot of time on the floor opening and closing it while Roxy watched in confusion. Who needs toys when you got a doggy door!

The boys talking about boy stuff.

Snuggle time before bed. Roxy tried to be a part of it too.

Playing at the park this morning. He looks very serious in this picture, but seconds before he was laughing and smiling, I promise. (Time to get that camera with no delay.)

That's all! If you think this is a lot of pictures, just wait until its my own little boy! :)

Bigger Baby Bump

Baby has popped out! In the past couple weeks, our little boy has gotten bigger and bigger and my tummy has too! According to our "weekly updates" we get from a baby website, he's now well over a pound (I wish I could say that he weighed more than that so I could blame the ever rising number on my scale on him, but not so much...) and can hear whats going on so Jon and I have been talking to him lots.
That's all for now--things have been really busy at work lately, so Jon and I are excited for the weekend coming. We are really excited because we get to have a special guest stay with us Friday night---a slumber party with Ezekiel! :) Bethany is brave enough to let us practice parenting on her little guy while she is away at a women's retreat. We are so excited to get the chance--he is the cutest!
I will let you know how it goes!
