A Fancy 2nd Birthday

Today is Savannah's 2nd Birthday!  I can't believe she is 2 & we have another little one on the way.  Matt & I feel so blessed to have our beautiful little girl & can't wait for her to become a big sister.  We celebrated Savannah's birthday on Sunday with all her grandparents, aunts, & uncles--whew our family is getting big but we love it. 

Savannah had a Fancy Nancy party.  For everyone that doesn't know who Fancy Nancy is, well she Savannah's favorite book character who LOVES everything fancy & french.  So we had a Fancy party for our little Fancy Savannah.  Since I go a bit, ah hem, crazy when it comes to parties--I took the theme very seriously.  Savannah had a Fancy cake, Fancy outfit, Fancy invites, & well you get the idea:-).  Poor Daddy is just praying for a boy after Sunday with a house full of glitter, pink, purple, & lots of tierras.

We took a few pictures--not being funny we didn't take that many.  We are not great at remembering to turn our camera on for important events.  But I am sure that Savannah's aunts & uncles have a few extra pics that they will share & I will forward along.

Enjoy the pictures below!

Last days of summer

The past week Matt has been on vacation.  Unfortunately, the week has gone way too fast but we have had a lot of fun & got a lot of projects done on the house.  We spent a few days in St Joe, MI enjoying the last few days of summer at the beach, eating ice creams at Kilwin's, & watching the sunset over Lake Michigan.  We also went to my parents house & spent an afternoon in the pool.  It was great to get away & get some time with Matt before his hectic travel schedule begins for the fall.

That was the fun part of vacation.  Phase 2, I like to call our workcaton.  We had new mulch delivered, painted Savannah's room, power washed, stained the deck, worked on projects for Savannah's birthday party & planted mums.  I know you are jealous...  Unfortunately, we still have 5 more rooms to paint & some misc. furniture to paint.  But it was a good start to the projects & hopefully the rest are done before baby #2 arrives. 

Speaking of baby #2, I had my 15 week appointment on Friday.  We are both doing great & healthy:-).  The baby's heartbeat came way down to the 130s.  4 more weeks & we find out whether our little snowflake is a boy or a girl.  Oct. 1st can't come fast enough for us!

Sunroom Transformation

 

Here are some pictures of the completed sunroom. After a few coats of paint & new furniture, we think it looks fabulous. We don't really have any before pictures of this room because it was filled with broken down boxes & trash.  So it very nice to have this space to relax in:-)  Only 6 more rooms to paint....

A few snapshots of the last 2 months

Unfortunately for Savannah & me we have been trapped indoors this summer. The heat & baby #2 do not get along. I think this baby is channeling some MN roots:-). So Savannah has been inside with a sick mommy the majority of the summer.

Hopefully with fall around the corner we can spend more time outside. Hurry up Fall! Yes, Jeri Purdy just typed that!! Shocking I know because for me there is only one season hot summer. But I can't wait to not get sick everytime I go to the mailbox or get in my car:-).

Enjoy the photos...

She looks thrilled to be the big sister right? You should have seen Izzy's face--oh no another one!

Growing Up...

Savannah has made the transition to her big girl bed . You would never even know that she went from a crib to a twin bed. I think it was more tramatic & emotional for Mommy & Daddy. BUT we are very thankful that she is doing so well. Here are some pictures of the our proud girl in her BIG GIRL BED...

Baby #2

Today we got to hear our little baby's heart beat. 162 beats per minute! Baby is very healthy & so is momma:-).
New pictures of Savannah will be posted soon!

Ahh summer sun & heat is in Indiana:-). I LOVE the 80 & 90* days we have had & so does Savannah. We don't get a lot done other than playing in the water, swinging, & going to the beach but that is what summer is all about:-).

Matt had a very looooong trip to France. We missed him lots & were very happy when he was back. This was the first trip that Savannah really realized Daddy had been gone a long time & she asked nearly every 5 min, "dada at?" But she was happy when dada brought her back her new best friend Moo. They are now inseparable. I was happy for delicious french chocolate:-).

Here are a few pictures...
