Happy Mother’s day to all the mom’s out there! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here!! I hope everyone had a great celebration this past weekend. Since this was Shelley’s very first Mother’s Day, it was definitely a special one. Lot’s to be thankful for, and we’ve got some great pics to prove it. Also, as of May 11, Avery is officially 2 months old!!
I think this is one of my all time favorite pics of both my girls!
And here’s another great pic of all the moms… Pssst, hey Avery… the camera’s over here!!
A family pic in the family rose garden!
And to finish off the post, we took some shots before the celebration began… because one never knows when the pretty dress might end in a mess! Ps… is someone about to smile???
Yeahhhh… there we go!!!

There’s a bunch of stuff going on in our lives these days… raising a newborn, building our home, selling our old home, working hard, and all of life’s details in between. Despite all that is happening, Shelley and I feel absolutely blessed to have Avery in our life, and we can’t imagine doing any of this without her. Hopefully next week (fingers crossed) we will get the keys to our new home and things will start to feel a little more normal. Shelley is still on maternity leave, but had to take a quick break to help her company meet a big deadline. Her mom is in town helping with grandma duty until Shelley is home for the remainder of her leave. We took Avery to the new house to see what she thought, and we ended up staying there for more than 3 hours. Fortunately we had plenty of diapers!
This pic is already old… the front porch railing is now painted (same as exterior) and the landscaping plus irrigation will go in on Monday.
Mommy was definitely prepared for this trip… and Avery agrees!
The new kitchen cleans up right nice! It’s been covered with plastic and dust and crud for so long, we didn’t realize how shiny everything would be.
Here’s the master shower… Shelley is super excited about the extra sitting room.
Here’s a little more recent pic of the house… The porch railing is painted and the yard has been cleared for the landscape, irrigation and drainage.
So that’s it for now! If everything goes well, the next batch of house pics will hopefully have a yard… and us living there!!!

This is certainly a big week for the entire family. It looks like the Dr’s are going to kick things into gear and let us meet our little girl on Wednesday. We just started week 39, so everything should be ready to go! I’ll do my best to keep the blog up to date, and will certainly have lot’s of pics in the coming weeks.
Here’s my beautiful bride checking out the front porch!
(Insert cheesy self-pic here)
…Awwwww

This past week was Shelley’s last at the office before taking maternity leave. Believe it or not, there are 4 other ladies in the office expecting within the next few weeks… and everyone thinks there’s something funny in the water! A few of the pics below.

The clock’s tickin! And based on mommy’s sore ribs, our baby girl is about ready to get out!!
Lot’s of backlight, but great for contour!
