Polka Dot Christmas...

Not only did Addie Kate get a really cute polka dotted chair for Christmas, but on Christmas Eve she woke up covered from head to toe in hives.  (We took pictures, but none of them do justice to what she looked like). We ended up taking her to the doctor and he put her on steroids and benadryl and the hives were almost completely gone by Christmas morning.  The doctor told us the hives could have been caused from something she ate, laundry detergent, or from her being sick the week before.  Unfortunately there is no real way to tell what caused them unless they come back, so hopefully we never know!

   Besides that little set back, Christmas was so much fun this year.  We were in Alabama with Gabe's side of the family and Addie Kate kept us all very entertained.  She was a lot more into Christmas this year than she was last, it is crazy to think how much she has changed in just one year.  By this time next year she will be two and will have a little brother who is nine months old!  

IT'S A.....

It's a BOY!!  That's right we are having a little boy in April!  I am 23 weeks, which means only 17 more to go.  This pregnancy seems to be going by so fast!  Here is our first sneak peak at our little man and a picture of me on the way to the ultrasound (20 weeks).  

New Addition....

That's right, baby number 2 is on its way.  We are due on April 14, which means we are about halfway there!  We find out this week what the new baby will be.  We can't wait to start preparing for our new baby!  

Bee-utiful!!!

Addie Kate was a bubble bee this year for Halloween!  She was not crazy about 

her antennas, but did really well keeping everything else on.  We took her to a fall festival and to a few houses to trick or treat.  Her favorite thing of the night, however,  was hearing the door bell ring and seeing the little kids dressed up in their costumes.  She just loves people!  She is getting so big, so fast!! 

Here is my little chick from last year.  It is hard to believe how much she has changed in a year!!  This year has gone by so fast!

Braves game!!

I know it has only been three months since my last post, but better late than never.   My camera and computer were out of commission for a little while, so hopefully now I will start blogging with a little more consistency.   

  Here are a few almost recent pictures of Addie Kate.  We took the youth group to a Braves game about a week before she turned one.  Her daddy insisted that she try a hotdog and coke while we were there.  

my first furniture re-do

I have really been wanting to try my hand at re-doing furniture lately and got the perfect opportunity when I found this piece while on a walk in Daphne.  They were throwing it away.  I made Gabe go knock and the door just to make sure that we could have it and they said to please take it, so we did.  I sanded it down, primed and painted it.  I was even able to use the original knobs, so it ended up being a very cheap project (under $20).  I enjoyed doing it so much that I have since started two more furniture projects.  A hutch that is done except for new knobs (pictures to come) and a kitchen table.  Wish me luck on that one.   

Home Sweet Home....

So we are finally getting settled in our new home and I figured it was time to post some pictures.  The only pictures I have were taken before we moved in.  I will eventually take some pictures with our stuff in!
