The switch.

Well, we did it.  We are making the switch to an in home nanny starting November 1.  (Not in our home, in hers)  I wasn't completely happy at the church where she is now and started putting some feelers out.  This lady has come HIGHLY recommended by several people and has been keeping kids for 30 years.  She only has one other baby full time and three kids that are there part time.  I don't know how long we will keep her there...because I 100% want her in a school/day care type setting when she gets to be around 2, but for now I think I am going to be MUCH happier.  She is described as the loving grandma...all the kids have their own room for naps...HALLELUIAH!  This has been one of the major problems for me at the church...little C doesn't nap good there...so when we get to play with her at night she is fussy sometimes because she is tired.  Those nights are too precious to me as that is the only time I have with her during the day...I need her to NAP well during the day so she is HAPPY for us at night!  I think she (our new lady) is able to devote much more time to loving and playing and nurturing the babies.  The ladies at the church just don't have the time to devote to that with the number of babies that they tend to.  I pray that this is the right decision for us, but after talking to several people who have used this lady I think it is going to be.  I hope Colls feels the same way:-)

And just because I want to...here's some pictures of my EIGHT month old!! 

We had to lower her crib:(  Growing up way too fast!  This is her pulling up to her feet in her new lowered crib.  

 Bath time in Beaufort.  Melts my heart.

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
