We had such a wonderful day yesterday...it was full of fun, laughter and surprises. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
On the baby front:
Amber and I had to be up at o'dark thirty this morning for her ultrasound....we found out she's having a GIRL! :) We are all so excited!! It's great being a Nana and Papa!
Happy Friday to all! :)
We hope you have a great day!
Love Ya!
Baby news first....because it's really important and fun.
Jessica had her appointment this afternoon....she's 2 cm dilated and the littlest Moyer blessing is in the right position. They did make her a two week appointment....so fingers crossed she makes it. We are all busting with excitement.
Amber has her ultrasound appointment first thing in the morning and I get to go with her. I'm so excited. It has been such a privilege to experience these grands with my girls.
Ron II went to his new ortho yesterday and that went well. He's super nice and knowledgeable....he should be out of braces by Thanksgiving....he's stoked!!
Ron II also signed up for Martial Arts classes starting next week. We are excited to see him try something new and fun. That will be a 3 day a week class and then we will be hitting the fitness center together for 3 days a week of fitness classes/weight training and swimming. He's gonna be one busy young man. He's so excited to be doing new things and this makes me totally happy!
The "Big Guys" birthday is tomorrow. Were so excited! :) We got him some awesome gifts and were all going to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory tomorrow night. Fun, Fun and More Fun! :)
Hope your having a great Wednesday!
We started our day out with a great meal at Chipotle. We had never been and we had a gift card that was burning a hole in our pocket. :) If you haven't been.....you should. The food was delicious!
Then we decided to hit some of the beautiful sites in our area.
There's just something powerful about seeing our great nations monuments.
Then we moved onto Arlington National Cemetery. I don't even know how to put into words what I felt by being there.....I'm so proud of our country and it's servicemen and women.
Remembering the Maine.
As I was leaving The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier I heard a gentlemen talking on his cellphone to a friend....he said he could feel the prescence of God there...I know just what he meant...I have never been so moved before.
What an amazing country we live in.
This says it all to me.
Since moving to Manassas...Ron and I have been taking Sunday afternoon and going on a date. We have a great meal out, hit the movies, or sometimes just browse around the area. It's so nice to spend sometime alone just chatting, riding or being quiet....peace and joy are wonderful things.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
Last night we had some lovely winter weather to move into our location. It was beautiful.
This morning I jumped out of bed to view the lastest and greatest accumulations.
We didn't get but an inch of snow..but the crusty ice on top was no joke.
Ella decided she didn't mind the snow...but ice was no fun.
Onto our trial run.
Taliyah has her first birthday next month...we gave her 1/3 of a cupcake to see how she would respond.
I think she liked it.
Only one more month until the real birthday and a whole cupcake. :)
Winter weather is heading our way...were under an advisory starting at 11pm tonight until 1pm tomorrow. We are expecting snow first, this sleet and onto freezing rain with up to an inch of accumulations. Well I guess winter is here in all it's glory.
Pictures of the weather to come.
There's a lot going on in our house these days. We have started school again....that's busy. Were preparing for a new baby in the next month. That's busy, and were taking care of a sweet little thing who has her first birthday next month. She's a busy little thing these days.
Yesterday, she and her mom went and did some shoppping..they are getting ready for her Daddy to come home on R&R. They are so excited. I'm pretty sure he's about to bust to see them as well. I'm sure he's excited to meet the new addition to their family. Blessings are abundant in our house these days.
Precious....I tell ya!
Children are such a joy....I feel so abundantly blessed to be able to spend this time with them.
On other family news....we found out just before Christmas that our oldest daughter is pregnant as well. We are looking forward to a summer baby here. I told you our house is crazy busy...so if I haven't lived up to everyone's expections since I've been home...well...I've been busy.
May your day be full of abundant blessings!
I can't believe our last child is starting high school. It seems like yesterday when he came home from the hospital. I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity to be home with our children....what a huge blessing they have been to me.
