Our dear friends, James and Amber, had their 2nd baby boy last week! We got to watch their oldest, Kelton (James' best buddy), while she had him, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to love on their beautiful new baby boy, Kolt, several times last week. We are so excited to have two more boys close together in age!
I just ended an incredible Beth Moore study, The Patriarchs, this past week with the girls below. This has been a huge blessing to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them, getting to listen to, learn from, and get to know each one of these girls on a deeper level.
Jennifer, Amy, Kelly, Melissa, Nicki, me, Kimberly. Between the 7 of us, there are 6 boys, 3 boys-on-the-way, and 1 girl-on-the-way!
James has not done so well sleeping since I last posted. He still loves his bed, but he wakes up ALL throughout the night! Most nights, he starts the waking up process around 11pm (before we are even asleep) and wants us in there until he falls back asleep. Last night was a good night. He got up at 11, Josh went in his room and slept on the floor until 2am, came back in bed with me, and then James didn't get up again until 5. Yes, that is considered a good night these days! :) Thankfully, James has been pretty happy during the daytime and not too affected by the getting up.
These past few weeks have been just heavenly, because we have had some GORGEOUS weather!! I have never been happier to see August and 100 degree weather go away. This coolish September has been such a gift, and we have been taking advantage daily. James is so happy to be outside exploring and running around. Being in the 6th month of pregnancy and having a very active 2 year old in August was not exactly easy. Pregnancy seems easier and more enjoyable (slightly) to me now that it's cooler. I'm going to try to time that better next time around...if I can!
I have finally put pictures up on my web album from August and September for family and close friends who might want to look.

Tomorrow I'm entering my 3rd trimester and am enjoying getting to feel much bigger and stronger movement from him. This week they've even started to hit a nerve or two at times! It's getting harder to be comfortable and my tailbone hurts now if I sit down for a while, but my sciatic nerve doesn't seem to hurt as badly lately.
I am getting very, very excited about FALL and my favorite 4 months of the year! We have been watching lots of football, I've started putting up Fall decorations (and I couldn't resist "decorating" my blog for Fall as well), and I've even started cooking our Fall staple...Taco Soup!
On that note, I'll end this and wish everyone a wonderful weekend!

James is just trying to prepare you for what it will be like with his baby brother enters the world! :) So sorry you guys aren't getting the sleep you need...it sounds like you're both having a good attitude about it though. And you look adorable - love the pic with you and your girlfriends! I'd LOVE to be in a Beth Moore Study right now...since CBS has ended, I've been feeling like I need to get plugged in to another study.
I did "Patriarchs" a couple of years ago when it first came out with my women's group at church...loved it!! I never thought that I would be so captivated by a study. I've gone back and read your blog from when you had James to prepare me for Kaleb!!!
Reading this does not make me excited to switch Tori into a big girl bed. James was a good sleeper before wasn't he? Well, I am glad everything else is going well!
I just made a HUGE pot of Taco Soup last week because it is our Fall favorite, too! Yummo!
I can't believe you are already entering your 3rd trimester- how exciting!
And the taco soup- yummy! Just thinking about it makes me hungry!
Your pregnancy is just flying by! I hope this last trimester goes quick for you too! I just think God wants us so miserable that we want the kid out...no matter what:) James is looking like such a big boy in those pictures!
