Christmas

Only a few pictures, yet again this Christmas. Next Christmas will be the first year, since we got married, that Felicia will not pregnant and super sick. It will sure be a very different experience. But for now, here are a couple of pictures, that we did manage to capture from the holiday. 

We loved our Christmas tree and new stockings.

Megan and Kevin also got to open their stockings with us because Mom and Dad Stacey were in Italy. We were lucky enough to have some FaceTime with them.

It was a perfectly white christmas. We woke up to inches AND inches of snow.

Thanks to Michelle for the AWESOME Darth Vader apron. Matt made us a yummy breakfast.

Fall Stuff

A positive pregnancy test AGAIN (after Eliza, with 2 failed pregnancies behind us, we are hoping that 3rd time's the charm)......It was an exciting moment that came with great trepidation for what the future would hold. Had we just subjected ourselves to more heartbreak? Would I make it through the first trimester?.... And if I did, was most recent loss a one-in-a-million or not? Were we going to actually have a baby? Would Eliza be scarred from another few months of very sick mommy? What would happen with my health through the progression of the pregnancy?

It is with great faith and hope that we even tried again.

Halloween Trick-or_Treating

This was the very first thing Matt and I bought for Eliza....yes it was a 4t dress. But I loved it and decided we needed to have it. And I'm so glad we got it because it is a special memory and it looks super cute on her. 

Matt found this at DI for $10 and it has been the biggest hit.

So here we go yet again. Eliza and I have spent countless hours in this living room together because I was so sick. And then on bedrest, we spent, many hours snuggling as seen below, watching movies, reading books, and doing puzzles. 

Princess for a day

We decided to have a fun day with the girls. 

We painted nails and toenails, cut hair, and ate yummy treats.
Other than the yummy treats, it was all a first for Eliza.

Summertime #2

Eliza loves to dance and she has discovered that she always needs a dress or skirt to do her best dancing moves. 

She also loves to wear a princess dress when she watches a princess movie. Cinderella was her favorite this fall.... The cartoon Cinderella AND the new Cinderella.

Eliza loves her puzzles. 

By the end of summer, she was putting together 48 piece puzzles all by herself.
