Spring Time

I love the spring. It is my favorite season, and we have actually had a very pleasant one this year. Josh has been working diligently in our yard the past few weeks and some of the fruits of his labor are beginning to show.


Azalea bush that didn't come up last year but is beautiful this year (Confederate rose beside it also beginning to take form).


New zinnias planted by the mailbox


Pretty pink azalea bushes in front of the house

Between softball and T-ball, we have spent a good part of our spring nights at the ballpark, which we thoroughly enjoy, though I doubt I'll be able to see many more, due to walking and bleachers:( Both of our older nephews are playing this year, on the same team, and are so much fun to watch! The pictures below are from Saturday's game.

Big T winding up for his homerun (yes, we got to see each of them hit a homerun on Saturday)


Happy after a win and some snacks:)


Excited to talk to Uncle Josh about his double play.....and happy for snacks!

This spring we have also enjoyed sitting outside, having some windows open in the house, a picnic in the park with friends after Sunday services and watching new growth bloom all around us. Hope your spring has been just as nice!

34 week update:

Here is a brief 34 week update for those of you who are waiting:) Babies are still hanging in there, though they are trying valiantly to kick their way out. We are ecstatic about reaching 34 weeks and have a big appt tomorrow, where they will check weights, positions, dilation, etc. Very excited about tomorrow.

I have been feeling ok, just very heavy. It is getting difficult to stand or walk for very long at all so I am doing a LOT more sitting and laying down. I feel very lazy and unproductive, but keep trying to remind myself that I am taking care of 3 of us, not just me. Josh has been an enormous help as always and we are getting our remaining projects and loose ends tied up. Please keep praying for at least 2 more weeks!! Here are a few pictures, by popular request:)



32 weeks


Not to be left out, Josh at 32 weeks.....not much change:)


This is me 2 days ago, one day shy of 34 weeks. A very accurate picture of me this week, feeling the need to hold my stomach up when I stand:) White is definitely not a slimming color!!

  2. WOW!! Rachel...it looks like you have this big basketball attached to your skinny little body! You are just one cute pregnant lady! If only I could carry one like you carry two, I'd be in good shape! :) I end up gaining weight everywhere. You look wonderful and I'll keep you, Josh, and those sweet babies in my prayers!
