Pumpkins!

This afternoon we all went to the Arboretum with a friend of ours (Chris) and his daughter Zoe. We had so much fun! We also ran into Josh, Amy, and Aidan, Amy's sister Megan and her twins, and Amy's parents. What a day!

Chris of course documented the occasion well, and even got a few good 37 week belly pics in... have a look!

Max and Mommy at (one day before) 37 weeks!

Surprise! Abbey loved the Alice in Wonderland house at the Arboretum

She had fun crawling through all of the tiny doorways and windows

We don't know what she saw, but it looks fun!

Aidan and Abbey sharing a hug

We don't normally make faces like this for pictures, but we were trying so hard to get Abbey to smile! Didn't really work...

Look at that precious face!

Abbey's Best Guys

Three men around one baby finger is a lot, but she's managed to do it well!

Max's Baby "Sprinkle"

A few weeks ago, our Community Group (Bible study group) threw us a surprise baby "sprinkle", and it was so much fun! The girls made up that term, because it was a small gathering, or sprinkle, instead of a large gathering, or shower. Cute and clever! Annnnnnnnddd.... knowing my love for Sprinkles cupcakes, they had the perfect "sprinkle" dessert for us!

The surprise! Clearly, Chris was in on it :)

Sign complete with airplanes!

Dining room where we ate an amazing lasagna Tyler made

The Sprinkles cupcakes Adrienne made and decorated- yum!!

Reading the card (although I couldn't keep my mind off of that bottle of Dreft, and thinking about when I could use it... the cleaning "need" is getting out of hand!!)

We got our pack and play!! Our group is so generous, and we were truly surprised and grateful!

Happy parents of an already loved baby Max!

We love you guys, and can't thank you enough for all you've done for us!

It's finished!!

The last item showed up, and Max's room is finally finished! I'm a little bummed, since this was my "project", and now I have other un-fun projects to do. At the same time... I'm 35 weeks today, and thrilled to have his room ready for him! We appreciate the continued prayers for the safe arrival of our baby boy!

I love it!

It was (thankfully) much bigger than we thought it would be, and fits perfectly! The picture was an online only item, and we didn't bother looking at the measurements... worked out well for us!
