NEST PREP V2
JAN 19 2012
Hi gang. Maybe it's triggered by Heather flipping between shows on the Oprah Network and "Teen Mom 2", but I find myself feeling very lucky these days. We've been spending most weekends moving our house projects along, painting and carpeting so we can use the back porch area and the 2nd floor... areas that had basically been ignored since we moved in. The world's squeakiest floor was solved by a few hundred deck screws and new carpet, giving us a big chunk of house back. These are supposed to be Beck's new bedroom and dad's new office, but so far they are known as "Dance Party" and "Big Empty Baseball Toss" rooms. Success! We spend almost every night running around up there with real and plastic guitars, singing about Elmo and strawberries. We're not strong in the lyrics department.
Of course all of this is in preparation for our second baby boy, coming in early March. Heather is doing great, she's amazing with being pregnant and still raising an active little Beckster... they're a lot alike, it is impossible to get them to sit still (or watch football, wha?). Funny how different it feels for us this time around. Last time everything seemed very abstract. Now, when the baby drives a foot through her ribcage, we know just how real he really is. We can't wait to meet him, and the home projects have reminded us just how soon he'll be here.
More to come this week. Yep, these pictures are from October, but c'mon... the cuteness overcomes the lateness, doesn't it?
