Anxiously awaiting

Hello everyone!  Andy and I are doing well and have been enjoying the warm weather and our last weeks of just us two before our little guy arrives.  We are 13 days away from our due date, hoping he will come before that but knowing we can see our due date come and go.  Whenever he decides to arrive it will be God's perfect timing.  It is easy to think, google, wish, amongst many other things to try to hurry him along but I believe this has been a time of teaching for me from the Lord.  I can very easily take things upon myself and try to figure out every little detail of how things are going to go and forgot that the Lord is anxiously awaiting, as I am, for me to place my complete trust in him.  What a major relief this is to us.  We are extremly blessed by him and can see his mercies being poured out to us daily.  I am once again reminded to a bible verse that always makes its way back to me and that is Isaiah 40:28-31.  It is a refreshment of how powerful his love is for his children.

We truely are over the moon excited to meet him and kiss his little face and toes.  During our wait I asked my sister to take some pictures of us.  She got a new camera for Christmas and wanted to try it out on us  for practice.  She did a pretty amazing job for someone who is new at it.  I posted some pics below that she took.  She has a good eye for it as well.  Enjoy!  Hopefully next post will be of Sullivan Andrew and his photo shoot! 

Baby shower and Sullivan's nursery

Hello friends and family! Its been a busy May so far with a couple showers and getting Sullivan's nursery completed.  Not to mention I am nesting like CRAZY.  I organized Andys tools the other day and I didn't even know what half of them were but I am enjoying this new side to me of organizing.  Hopefully it will pay off when my little man arrives.  We can't wait to meet him!

This past weekend my mom and mom in law threw me an amazing baby shower in Knoxville where I got to celebrate with my closest friends.  We were so blessed to recieve almost everything we need to get started with Sullivan.  We are so thankful that the Lord has gifted us with an unbelievable family and friends.  Sullivan has no idea the love that is surrounding him already and I can't wait for him to experience it everyday with our family.  The Lord is so kind and gracious and all glory goes to him for this little guy. 

Soooooo, his nursery is finally completed!  We just have a few loose ends to get together like one picture that needs to be hung and to purchase his changing table.  I am so excited how it came out. I cannot believe that in 7 weeks there is going to be a baby in there to occupy it. 

Here are some pics below of the shower and Sullivan's nursery, Enjoy! Excuse the sideways pictures, I could not figure out how to fix it :)

Getting started

Hello Everyone and thanks for checking out our blog.  We are new to this and I am not much of a writer but we are excited to share what the Lord is doing in our life and what is to come.  We created this blog so family and friends can check out our life in Chattanooga and our soon to be addition to our family, Sullivan Andrew, who will be making his arrival at the end of June.  We can't wait!  We have been preparing his nursery which means throwing out alot of our junk (really Andy's junk) so he can settle in.  I have been taking pictures as we go so here is our starting point with his room and I promise there will be a finished product soon.  Enjoy!

We had to down size our stuff quite a bit and still working on it.

Mazzie thought we were putting together a new bed for her, little does she know whats about to come.
