It's catch-up time!

Thanksgiving... Moving... Christmas... New Years...& 9 Months Pregnant!  

I'm sure you can probably guess why we haven't posted anything in some time!  

Here's a quick post of pictures and words to catch you up on the past couple months of our lives...  :)  

This past November we started a new tradition by filling out these homemade leaves with what we were thankful to God for.  Almost every night at dinner, we would talk about what we thanked God for, and would write them down on the leaves and filled the wall with them.  :)  

Pre-Thanksgiving with the Whites

Thanksgiving with the Davidsons 

These Davidson ladies threw a lovely little shower for our baby girl!

 On November 25th, we got the keys to our new house.  Although we didn't move in until the first weekend in December, we thought it would be fun to spend the night, "camping out" in our new house together for the first time.  It was really empty, but lots of fun!  We all slept together in the same room and we had a blast just thinking about all the fun times that lay ahead for our family in this home.  Thank you Lord!  

 The photo below was taken the last night in our rental house.  The boys slept side-by-side in the same room  on their mattresses (which they also did for the first couple nights when we moved into the new house!).

Since it was only 2 1/2 weeks away from Christmas when we moved into our new home, one of the first things we did (after unpacking a loadful of boxes) was to pick out and decorate a Christmas tree.  

Samuel & Micah also picked out their very own kid-size tree for the first time this year.  Samuel decorated it all by himself and it served as a fancy night-light upstairs for a couple weeks!  :)  This was taken Christmas morning... looks like Santa delivered a couple of presents under this tree too!

  And don't forget about baby sister!  This was taken at 37 weeks, 2 days.

 Christmas morning...  :)   

The best shot we could get of our family on Christmas day :)  I love it!  

Our New Year's Day was extra special since we got to celebrate Andrew's birthday!  

And in case any of you were wondering, this was taken of me at 38 weeks along.  Currently, there are 9 days left until her due date, so she could really come any day now!  :)  If anyone wants to take a guess about her birth date & time, there will be a prize for the closest one!  

Most likely our next post will be about our new baby girl!  Stay tuned, everyone!
