Two Tiny Feet...

are coming to the cottage in the country! :) 

 We are so excited to finally announce that we are expecting our first sweet baby! We are thrilled beyond measure! God graciously answered our prayer and gave us our sweet baby in His perfect timing. We had been praying for this sweet one for a few months and began to pray together and specifically for the last few months. We were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude when we found out a few days after our anniversary back in June that we were going to be parents! God is good. He was faithful through times of discouragement as we waited and continues to be as we anticipate all that being new parents will call us to. Truly, He is good all-the-time!

Here is a first look at our sweet butter bean! We are so in love already! 

Thank you, Lord, for this precious gift!

This first few weeks have definitely been a new experience for us. We have had the joy of experiencing nausea so needless to say my high hopes of crafting the summer away haven't come to fruition. We've had a few improvements around our cottage and anticipate more with the coming second trimester and cooler fall weather. Stay tuned! Exciting things happening out here in the cottage in the country! :)

Still Unpacking?

We moved in about two months ago and would you believe we still have a room with several unpacked boxes? :)

 I guess that's actually not too far fetched but if you know me- I'm not a procrastinator when it comes to making home feel home-y. The blessing of having an additional bedroom has given us a place to store away those unsightly boxes.  Conveniently, I can just close the door and pretend they aren't there.

Good plan, right? Well, the plan works so long as you don't have company in need of that extra guest room. Fortunately for us, I have a wonderful motivation to unpack those boxes and tidy up the room. My younger brother is coming down from Maryland to stay with us for a week. We are so excited. This week I got down to business unpacking. Now we have nice pile of empty boxes and a good collection to donate to our local Goodwill. It's coming along and Charlie will be here before we know it! We are so excited!

Sweet, Sweet Summertime!

It's summer!! School is finally out and I am back to being a full-time housewife. I LOVE IT! Hopefully my extra time will result in the completion of a few of our 'punch-list' items. Not to mention I need to unpack our guest room in preparation of the visitors we are expecting this Summer! I can't wait! I hope to update soon with some projects or maybe just some crafty things I'm up to! :)
