{Hannah}: the nursery!

This video explains about how I feel about being done with Hannah's nursery:

Maybe not that dramatic, but still really exciting!

and I added the ruffled burlap with a hot glue gun

Austin cut the boards from a pallet, and I secured them by

screwing each plank to a smaller plank.

Clearly very excited. Under 11 weeks until our due date, Hannah girl!

18 months... and one to grow on

I am SO late on posting this! We have had a lot going on, so I delayed it to give myself some space to accomplish other tasks, and get a minute or two to rest!

Our little man is 18 months old! The last month has been full of... Moving. We also saw snow for the first time when we visited GiGi's new house in Colorado, however, we really only liked it a lot for a couple days. And it was unbearably cold for a couple days (single digits + Texans = NO GO!) so we played indoors a lot. We finally did find a nicely groomed sledding hill which we loved!

While in Colorado, we accepted an offer on our home, and the sale has been mostly smooth sailing (knock on wood!). We close on Monday (knock on wood again!), and we are really excited to begin the Cypress, TX chapter of our lives. I won't talk about the new house until it is for sure the new house and we have signed the dotted line, but rest assured that we are excited about it! Rather than try to do a lease-back with our house, we decided to stay with my parents. So far we are looking at about 12 days here. Should be a fun & busy place! My brothers & Meghan had all moved out so I thought we should keep them company! 😉

And now for some exciting news for Ethan and the rest of the Haynes fam:

Ethan has been out

Twice as long as he was in,

Which seemed like perfect timing -

So we're starting up again!

Baby number TWO is due

Halloween 2015!
