It's been a while!

Yes, we know it's been a while since we've updated our blog. Let's see, where to begin...We bought a house the end of May and worked on it through June and moved in the end of June. We love it! The second picture is the living room from the kitchen.
We loved the colors of our house in Joplin so much we decided to do pretty much the same thing in this house..with the exception of getting to find new colors for Baby Jaxson's room! :) The nursery is ready for him to arrive. The crib is put up and the clothes are washed and organized in the closet. We had a shower this past weekend at Mike's parents' house and got tons of great stuff, then we had a shower Wednesday night at the church and got more great stuff! Daddy put the swing, stroller, and vibrating seat together so Jaxson has fun toys waiting for him. We have about 6 more weeks to the due date.


Jessica and Jonathon had their baby, Caleb Douglas, born Monday, July 16. Uncle Mike and I were able to go see them Tuesday afternoon. You can see their updates here! Little Caleb is doing great and already changing so fast! He's ready for Jaxson to arrive so they can play
together! :)

At the shower this weekend my parents', Joy, and Tucker were able to stop by on their way home from Indiana after a couple days of visiting the newest addition to our family! Here is a cute picture of grandpa and Tucker playing. Tucker is growing up so fast. He has 8 teeth and loves making noises like rolling his tongue! :)

Some of you have been asking to see my belly so here you go...this is from a couple weeks ago. Jaxson is moving around quite a bit and just last Sunday I felt his hiccups for the first time during church and then daddy felt them later that evening. I haven't felt them since then, but it was kind of an emotional time, I enjoy every punch and kick, it's reassurance that our little boy is growing and will be ready to visit us soon!

That seems to be all at this point. It's crazy it's already the end of July. We've been keeping busy with work and preparing the nursery. We really love it here in Indiana and look forward to the changes that a little baby brings. Hopefully we'll get you updated in a couple more weeks and then definitely will introduce you to Jaxson as soon as he arrives. Mommy and Daddy are very anxious to meet him, too!
