a little of this and a little of that

Fall is officially upon us... our favorite season on the East Coast. Life is good, busy, and increasingly uncomfortable as I waddle my way through the days. 4 weeks to go!
Here's a little of what we've been up to:

The nursery is 95% done, thanks to my mom, Nate, and Hailey. Thank you so much for all your help! And of course to my sisters-in-law who gave me the bedding that I thought I could only dream of! (I still need to iron the crib skirt.) I love it! I love that we used oil paint on the trim, not because I was trying to inhale it in my pregnant state, but because it makes our whole house smell new.



Go Phillies! We definitely consider ourselves "Phanatical Phillies Phans" around here!

Go Obama! Don't worry everyone, we're still good, honest, active Mormon folks.

Here's a few pictures of the boys enjoying themselves...

Very cute. Good luck with your delivery.

Tell Nate 'Hi' for me, and that I am officially tagging him.

I love the nursery; I can't wait to see it in person. Now will you come help me do mine; oh wait I have no room for a nursery.
I love your preggo belly picture. You are looking great! I can't believe you only have 4 weeks left. I am sure it seems like a lot more to you as it does to me. I am wondering if December will ever come.

The room looks great. Love the pic of the bulging belly and adoring kids. . . . .

Obama?. . . .I'll get back to you on that one. . . of course the alternative isn't much better.

The lavender paint turned out so darling! I promise you, you will feel happy everytime you enter that room (except at 1 and 4 am!). We are thinking of you and hoping you are hanging in there. I tell myself I'm going to call you to check in nearly everyday and then never get to it. I'm a lame-o friend. Oh, and Obama?!?! Seriously????

Hey Jenny, it's me {again} - Andrea Tate (Scott). I LOVE the colors of your nursery and am so glad you get to have a girl. Your boys are adorable, but who would think otherwise with you as their mom. My email is dreyscott@hotmail.com, send me an email and I'll invite you to our blog. Good luck with the pregnancy - Andrea

oh my jenny r : ) the nursery is perfect. I'm a fan of the white/clean/fresh nursery furniture too. It's so calm and relaxing (except at 1 & 4 like Molly said!). Oh how I miss ya! I wish I was there to bring you dinner and play with the boys... And of course Nater. Sending my love in a package will have to do. We're at Disney World right now (go ASA conference) but I'll be in touch soon : ) next trip Philly? I'll keep dreaming!

Kate said...

oooo I've missed you guys! Can't wait to catch up!
