Our Attempt at a Photo Shoot

We took a couple photos while we were at the Porth's beautiful home. The dress Savannah is wearing is one that our smallest flowergirl wore in our wedding. They gave it back to us when Savannah was born. I'm so glad I finally got a few shots of her in the dress. I'd still like to get some professional photos taken, but we did get a few worth sharing.

Introducing Eva Claire Porth!

Isn't she absolutely gorgeous? Cole's sister Valerie had her third baby a couple weeks ago and we were able to go down and visit with them in Lexington for a few days. I started getting a cold while we were there, so I didn't get to hold her 24/7 like I had wanted to, but I did get to spend some great time with her big sister and brother, Addie and Yeats. Savannah had a great time with them and truly LOVES her cousins! Savannah learned how to ride a big girl swing!Yeats, the only boy on the Porth side (isn't he handsome?)And I had to include this picture. These are Addie's goggles, she let Sav borrow them for a couple minutes after much begging on Savannah's part.

Greenville Trip

Savannah and I took a trip to Greenville for my buddy Sue's baby shower and we stayed a little longer to get some time in with Papa and Gaga and the cousins. We had a BLAST! We were so busy with all the fun things to do in Greenville. We went to Falls Park downtown to play in the water fountains.I was not sure what Savannah would think since she has just started liking the swimming pool, but she LOVED it! I was shocked! She ran all around the fountains laughing and squealing with her cousins. It was so much fun.We also went to Gatti Town with Papa and Gaga and had so much fun we went back a second time with the twins. Savannah LOVED the lights and rides. She kept a serious face most of the time, which was funny, but ran around the place like she never wanted to leave and wanted to ride the merry-go-round over and over again.Gaga (isn't she beautiful?) and Savannah riding the carousel (notice the expression on Sav's face)Papa and Savannah (still very serious)Joelle and Lyla BeanDriving a race car And, to top off a perfect trip, Papa also introduced Savannah to ice cream and lollipop's. She is very gratful!


Greenville Zoo

We were so excited to visit the Greenville Zoo while we were in Greenville. And even more exciting, we were able to meet up with Jenn, Kate, and Graham! The twins come with us too, of course, and we had a great time with all the little ones! Here are some pictures of all the beautiful children...

Sav being goofy... Graham being his sweet, laid back, adorable self...
Beautiful Kate...
Silly Pretzels with her gorgeous blonde curls...
And innocent little Lyla (don't let her fool you!)

I LOVE these kids! Wish we could see you all more often!

It's A Baby....

GIRL!!! We had our appointment today and the little one was moving around like crazy, but everything looked great and she's actually measuring a whole week ahead, so she may come a little early or (more likely) she's another tall girl! Praise God for His many blessings!

Guesses Please!

So, I was horrible about taking photos of my belly during my first pregnancy and said I wouldn't do it again. But so far, I have no belly pictures! I figured instead of continuing to put off a blog post until I have a photo, I would just document (for myself mainly) how things are going. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and so far, things are going very well. I started feeling the baby moving about 2 weeks ago and I LOVE THAT FEELING! So incredible and reassuring! I am STILL having morning sickness and have no idea why. I had it until I was 15 weeks with Savannah, but this seems a little long. I'm wondering if it could be the prenatal vitamins, so I'm going to skip taking them for a few days to see if it makes a different.
My next appointment is this Thursday morning. It's the BIG one! The one where they check the baby's measurements and, of course, tell us if it's a BOY or a GIRL!! I am so excited to find out if Savannah is going to have a brother or a sister. I cannot wait! So, to give me something fun to check over the next few days while I wait, please leave me a comment with your guess whether you think it's a boy or a girl! I'd love to hear what people are thinking and see who's right! I'll be sure to post the news as soon as I can!

Daddy Gives Me Chocolate!

I had a little leftover chocolate ganache from a cake I made yesterday, so I gave it to Cole to finish. He shared it with Savannah and this is what we got... "Don't judge me!"
