Oops.... again.

Apparently I'm just not meant to be the "blogger" type. The baby isn't even here yet and I can't keep up with this thing! A few things have happened in the last 11 weeks! :) We decided on a name... Kendal Grace Key.

This was a gift from our friend Eva.... she's so talented!

The second exciting thing that has happened is.... we bought a house! Yay! I don't have any pictures of the outside, we have a lot of landscaping to do next spring... so the inside is more exciting anyway!

We are so excited about the house. It already feels like home. Now, we just need to get a fence put up so I don't kill the dogs! :)

The only bummer about the house is that we had to paint Kendal's nursery again! Ugh...more painting. So we tried again to get gray. I was still wanting to do gray, pink and white. But no such luck. It was too blue, just like last time. So I just decided to decorate with whatever people made/gave us and I think it turned out great!  Thanks to all of our talented and generous friends and family I think it all turned out pretty cute! I really couldn't have done it all without everyone especially Casey - she spent so much time making things and then even coming over to help me figure out where to put it! I'm so blessed!

I haven't filled any of the frames yet! :)

 I think we've decided to get rid of the white chair and get a rocking chair. This one is just way too big!

 A place to hang all of her bows from Aunt Casey! :)

Haha! We still need to fix the handles on the dresser!

I love this little octopus from my mom!

 We loooove our "Ugly Doll" that Tavi made us!

And this is Kendal's doll bed that finally came in! Her newborn pictures will be so cute with her all curled up on this! 

So there's all of our exciting news! Christmas is a little over a week away! I'm excited but a little sad too - I hate when the Christmas decorations come down! The weekend after new years Cass and I decided to take a weekend away just for the two of us before Kendal gets here. Thanks to my friend Brendon who let us use his timeshare we are getting to stay a weekend at the Big Cedar Lodge just outside of Branson! The cabins were too expensive for us right now but thanks to Brendon's awesome discount we are able to go! Yay! See... I'm so blessed with great people in my life! :) So, January 6th we'll be headed up there! I can't wait!

Since I only blog once a trimester :) I hope you all have a very Merry christmas! :)

love,
