Hey Everyone! This is Aimee’s sister giving an update on the big news! Jack Benjamin Weaver was born Monday January 12 at 2:01 a.m. He came out a healthy 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches long, and a head full of dark hair. Mommy and baby are doing great and will be staying at Ephrata Community […]

I wish I had some exciting news to share, but after a week of having contractions, the baby seems to be quite content to stay in my belly and make me quite uncomfortable!! Wow, this waiting period is a little bit like torture, but I’m just thankful that I’m able to rest when I need […]

I’m still here…and the baby still isn’t! I’ve been having contractions for 4 days now but not much is happening. It’s been a little frustrating, but I must say, I think God has given me an extra dose of patience and a sense of peace about it! For now, I am enjoying my little girl, […]

I’m about a week away from my due date and have been having contractions for the past 2 days… bring.it.on.

I’ve had some good luck recently picking up some vintage items that I totally don’t need but just couldn’t pass up. Know what I mean? My Mother-In-Law gave me a few aprons that her mother made for her – too sweet! They remind me of Lucy cooking in her little NYC kitchen. Of course, they […]

Well, we’ve almost reached the 2 week mile marker! And I must say, because of all the hustle and bustle with the holidays, time is going pretty fast, all things considering. What is it with pregnancy that puts women in a ferocious cleaning mode??? I mustered up enough energy this week to do a bunch […]

Some Christmas decorations around our house… I restrained myself a bit this year, because I didn’t want to have to put a ton of decorations away with the new baby coming soon. And, I learned that I don’t need to use EVERY SINGLE piece of Christmas decoration that I have (although it’s hard not to!).

and counting till my due date! Over the past few days the little guy has made some major moves and now I’m super-uncomfortable, especially walking and sleeping. However, it means that he is getting ready to finally come out and meet us! This morning I totally felt like one of “those moms” at the grocery […]

Several friends and I have been getting together every few months and doing a “make-ahead” meal exchange. If any of you struggle with coming up with a meal every night (like I do!), then you might want to think about trying this too. It’s been a life-saver for us – and hubs LOVES it!! Basically, […]

As I was getting ready for my weekly “spa night” (this is a gross overstatement, btw), I was thinking about all the “little happys” in my life right now. And I’m sure you have many, too. Things that just bring you little bits of joy throughout your day and week. So I made a list: […]

I was asked to decorate the bulletin board for our church’s Women’s Ministry, and I thought I’d share the results in case any of you need some ideas for a memo/bulletin board. Here’s what the bulletin board looked like – very generic and straight from the office supply store… And here’s what it looks like […]

Last weekend we took some shots of Avery at a nearby park for our Christmas card… Oh, and we just got our new camera! It’s a cute little thing! Canon Powershot SD1100
