haircuts for everyone

We had all been talking about wanting to get a haircut so Winsor had the great idea of having Phil's cousin who is a haircutting lady come over to the house to cut all our hair. It was so nice and she did a great job on everyone (some of even thought she was a "miracle worker"-not that anyone needed a miracle for their hair though)!

christmas time

we have had a great time in the Big D! it is so nice to just be able to relax and not feel like we need to be somewhere or do something. it is great! Christmas was wonderful, we just hung out and enjoyed presents, tasty food, and the gift of little Weston! Here are some pics from the day!

little Weston

We have had a great time in Dallas and got to meet little Weston! It is great to be with him and makes us even more excited to meet our own little guy!

our little guy!

today we had our big ultrasound! we found out we are having a boy! we are really excited and very very thankful for God's protection thus far on our little son. here are a few pics of him!

profile again, hands more curled up


another profile (he didn't feel like turning all the way around so we could get a head on shot but that is ok because we get to have another ultrasound next time to check that out!)


another profile, looks like he is either sucking his thumb or holding his nose


side view of head and down to body

i am not posting the pics of his private areas since that is not for the public to see!!! but do not worry, it was pretty obvious!

an awesome day!

this morning, in keeping with all saturday mornings, we went to get a bite to eat for breakfast before starting out day. we love an einstein's bagel so we went there today. I was so excited to see this candy cane bagel that I just had to have it. It was quite tasty and fun to eat and helped to get me into the Christmas spirit!



while we were there, we got a phone call from Nelson's sister that her water had broken! we were so excited to hear that! but selfishly I was really sad that it meant we would not be there for when our first nephew was born. we got updates all day from Nelson's mom which was great to help us feel in the loop! So tonight at 6:12 p.m., little Weston James was born! Mom and baby are doing well and we can't wait to meet this little guy!! Here is a pic of him on his uncle John's blog-

christmas lights

today we braved the very cold wind to put up some lights. we got some sweet LED lights this year because apparently they are very energy efficient and they seem cool so we got them. but I am afraid that haphazard light decorating runs in my family (I wish I could even begin to describe to you my parents' house when my dad does the decorating-basically it looks like he was half-asleep when he decided to decorate and he took one, maybe two strands of lights, dragged them around the bushes and called it a day). So while our lights may not put Snoopy's dog house to shame, they are at least festive. sorry Nelson that I do not have any light decorating skills to bring to the table. you can blame your father-in-law. we did get a nice christmas/wintertime wreath too.
