Getting Ready for Deacon

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of sweet Deacon. I can't believe soon I will have 2 kids! Yikes! Here are a few pics of his room.

Baby Shower fun!

I had the best time at a baby shower given to me by my VA friends/family.  I am so lucky to have met such great friends who are like family to me.  It was so great to get together with some of my closest friends! My sweet friend Erinn who had a sweet baby girl, Izzy, in Feb 2014 ( 9lbs, at her house, with no drugs) hosted the party at her house. She and Bronwen were so sweet and thoughtful with every last detail and made it a memory I will never forget.

Chesley Margaux

My sweet lil niece Chesley was born on October 4, 2013 at 7:45 am.  She weighed 8lbs 9oz and was 20 1/2 inches long.  We can not wait to meet her!!

4 D ultrasound

We treated ourselves to a 4d ultrasound to take a look at sweet baby D.  I think his pic (top) is very similar to Mason's (bottom).  It was a very fun time, followed by a delicious dinner at Bonefish.

Color Run Fun

Mason and I ran/walked the Color Run in Richmond with our Friends Angie and Teddy.  The boys had such a great time! It was quite the workout for me, but so much fun.  We are going to do the 2014 run this fall and can't wait.

Baby shower Trifecta

I had a lot of friends who were also pregnant while I was, a lot.  It was very exciting to come home and have an amazing afternoon with some of my closest, best friends.  Of course I ruined the shower having a boy, as Lydia and Andi were both pregnant with girls LOL.  We had so much fun catching up and celebrating! Valerie, Jolie, and Veronica did such a great job.  Our other friend Amy was unable to make it, but sent us the sweetest gifts.  Valerie  was also so sweet to host in her brand new home and I am so excited that she must have drank the water because she is having a baby too! Baby Boy Frakes will be here this summer! I am so lucky to have these girls in my life.  And Im sure Deacon will think so too one day with all his lady friends!!

Labor Day Weekend

After our overnight stay in Nashville we headed to mountains for Labor Day weekend.  It is always nice to get to spend time with my family. My parents, both brothers and their families come.  We go out to dinner, play putt putt golf, and watch football.  For some reason, this picture of Cooper is the only one I have!

Nashville

We were very excited to go to Nashville for the Ole Miss/Vanderbilt game.  We met my family for dinner and went to the game with by brothers.  I had to leave at half time because I simply couldn't tolerate the heat.  High 90s at 9:00 at night was too much for me and baby D.
