A New Niece is Here!

I would never have thought that when Tim and I went down to Branson for a visit we would come back home with a new niece to brag about! Sarah, the little stinker, got pre-eclampsia and had to go a little over five weeks early. To make a long story short, within hours of us arriving in Branson, Gemma Jaye was born and is doing great! I had to show her off a little. :)

Her big cousins love her and they just couldn't get enough when they came over to play one afternoon while Ryan and Adrian went on a date.

Just Keep Growing!

I've been trying to take pictures every two weeks since I was sixteen weeks just so that I could see the difference. It wasn't much at first, but I think our little munchkin is growing by leaps and bounds now!

Week 16

Week 18

Week 20

Week 22

Week 24

The funny thing to me is that everytime I'm going to take each week's picture I think, "Boy! I'm really big now!" Then after I see the picture I'm amazed that I don't look quite as big as I think I do. :)

What a Project!

Recently Tim and I decided it was time to get a little german shepherd puppy because we both really wanted one. We also knew that when our little one gets here we're not going to have nearly as much time to spend training a puppy. When August rolled around the opportunity came for us to get our puppy, Maverick. It was a little crazy trying to move into a new duplex and work with a puppy all while being pregnant, but somehow we managed. :) Not long after moving we saw that a dog house would be in order for our pup. Talk about a project! Tim loves working with his hands and this was the perfect thing to do! I won't say much about it, but just looking at the pictures you'll see that it turned into a bit more time and effort than was first expected. That could be due to the immense size it ended up being. All I can say is, Maverick ought to have PLENTY of room and stay really warm.

Here's the little guy we made the house for. He's already a lot bigger than that, but I love this picture, so I had to put this one up. :)

Finally Back on Line

So much has been going on since the last post I made. That's been quite a while. Since then we've moved, gotten another puppy, gone on a Toliver family vacation, got to see our new little niece come into the world (well, I did), and received super exciting news that we're going to be the parents of a precious baby girl! It's kind of crazy to think that we're going to be responsible for a little life! I can't wait! I haven't even started getting her room ready, but here pretty soon I'm planning on it. I have so many pictures that I want to share, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum. We'll see. :)

I have so many more pictures. I think I'll have to just stop there with a preview of our vacation and show the rest a little later.
