January 2010

I had my 32 week ultrasound yesterday and Pierce is getting so big! I could actually see his plump cheeks, lips, and nose. He was opening and closing his hands and moving his arms around. It was so sweet! I didn't think I'd see as much as I did but it was very vivid. I loved it. I have about 7 weeks left (inducing a week early) and I can't believe how time has flown. His room had to be repainted because we messed up the "touch ups" and had to start all over. It is a pretty brown and we got his furniture in and ready to go except for one piece. Peter's got to finish staining it. I can't wait to show you the before and after pics. I'll post them soon.

Isabella is a little on the sick side this week. She has a head cold and a little bit of a fever. Poor thing can't breathe. It's pitiful. But she'll be fine in a couple of days I'm sure. She's been one very blessed little girl to not get sick so much this year. (knock on wood!) The same goes for me and Peter. We've managed to stave off the sicknesses that have been going around. Thank goodness!

I had a wonderful Christmas break. All with the exception that my Grandfather Beach died 4 days after Christmas. We had his funeral on New Year's Eve. He was 83 and was saved at around 65. That was good to hear at his service. He had been sick for a long time off and on. Now he won't have to feel that way anymore. We'll miss him so much. Isabella loved playing with him. Here's a picture of them playing together this past June.


Here are a few pics of our Christmas.
