Hawaii...

My lucky husband got to spend the afternoon in Oahu, Hawaii last week and these are just some of the pictures he took there. He actually spent the night there, and got an afternoon of snorkeling in before he had to head off somewhere less exotic. Don't we all wish we were there?

Family Picture...


I know Rachel has already posted this picture on her blog, but I thought I would too. Most of my family got together last weekend up in Topeka (minus my brothers) and we had a wonderful, relaxing time. Nate had fun playing with Ethan, and always makes comments to me about how he hopes our little boy is "as good as Ethan"...our little Austin already has a lot to live up to! I learned the card game "golf" (which my parents apparently love), and ended up loosing horribly by the end of the game...but it was still fun. Love you all!

Lawrence Baby Shower...

Last weekend I had my first ever baby shower. Sonja threw it for me up in Lawrence, and it was a great time. I got so much great stuff...lots with airplanes on it! Nate and I have been so blessed by the generosity of others.
This picture shows the little outfit that Mrs. Wilson made for me. SO cute...

This is a picture of Nate's mom, Pat, me and my mom, Laura.

Rachel and I...hum, I look huge...

Since Rachel already announced it on her blog I guess I will do the same. We are naming our little boy Austin Oaks. Oaks is Nate's middle name, for those of you who don't know. Six more weeks until the due date!

Our baby's room....

So, we've been working on our baby's room pretty much since we found out he was a boy. The theme was actually easier with a boy (for us) than it would have been for a girl. I immediately wanted to do an airplane theme and since Nate didn't care one way or another, the decision was made. Here is some of what we have been working on. I had more pictures but had some problems with them, so maybe I will post those later.

This is an upclose view of the blanket and pillow my mom and I made a couple of weeks ago. We used the Pottery Barn sheets set for fabric and added the white chenille fabric to it, and it turned out mighty cute. Plus it is so nice and warm! I can't wait to use it all!
