Running in Circles

what you grateful for? 

This is exactly how Hazel has asked us each night to say something we were grateful for, so she could add a leaf to our grateful tree!

We were able to add a lot of leaves in the last few weeks and realize just how many wonderful blessings we have in our lives.

Hazel really surprised us with the answers she came up with too! Hopefully she learned a little bit about the true meaning of the thanksgiving holiday and how to recognize our many blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

We are so excited to finally announce to friends and family that we are expecting another baby in early January! 

I had a hunch I might be pregnant after moving into our new apartment in Dallas and being exhausted for days afterwards! I mean moving is a lot of work, especially going up two flights of stairs- but I was so wiped out for days I just knew something was different. I didn't say anything to Brice because we tend to both get a little overwhelmed with pregnancy announcements so I waited until Brice's birthday to take a pregnancy test. I figured if it was negative no big deal and if it was positive- then it'd be the perfect surprise! 

Well, he loved his "birthday present" and couldn't believe that I had kept my mouth shut about my suspicions. 

*I tend to blab my feelings and concerns fairly quickly since being married :)

So here we are already 20 weeks along and today we found out we're having a BOY!!!

Thursday in the mail we received such a wonderful surprise! My Nana sent each other grandchildren a check for $1,000 just because she could. I was totally surprised then instantly started to cry. To me it was an answer to a prayer.
