Piano Lessons for ME!

I'm so excited! On Wednesday I took my first piano lesson. I've been self-taught for years and have never gotten very far. So it's been something that I've been wanting to do forever and I'm so happy that now I can. I love every part of being a stay at home mom but lately I've wanted to do a little something for me, something for my progression. And this seemed like the perfect fit. My amazingly talented sister-in-law Natty is teaching me and that just doubles the perfectness. I really love that we're going to be able to spend this time together. So, thank you Brandon for watching the girls during my lesson and thank you Natty for teaching me your talent.

Maddie's Announcement...



That's right. We are expecting our fifth baby and Maddie is going to be a big sister! This little one is due August 2nd and we couldn't be more happy! We had a blast announcing this pregnancy to our family at a birthday celebration for Brandon. I made this shirt for her but put a sweater over it when we went to the party. Then right before we sang happy birthday I took the sweater off. It was really fun to see everyone's reaction. Of course we told our kids right before we sang so they would still know first but not have enough time to tell everyone before they saw her shirt. It was a really fun night, but more than that we are just thrilled to be having another baby!!!
