Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

We're having a sweet little girl.
:)


Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Team Sainton grows from 2 to 3!

Not sure that many read this any more, but we have some fun and exciting news!
Justin and I just went to my first ultrasound appointment this morning.
I'm 10 weeks and 1 day along today.
I can't even being to tell how incredible it was to see this little life moving around and hearing its heartbeat.
So beautiful.
Such a gift.
I am honored.

Justin's Birthday and More Snow

December 2008 004
More snow.  Check out our neighbor's car in the background.

December 2008 006
Getting ready to shovel.

December 2008 007
Justin is very excited to get to shovel the driveway, again.

December 2008 009
Play before work.

December 2008 012
Icicles from the water melting off the Christmas lights.

December 2008 015
Real icicle lights.

December 2008 020
Falling straight back into the snow.

December 2008 023
Justin's birthday.

December 2008 024
Happy Birthday, Justin!  In the past I've made cheesecake from scratch for Justin's birthday.
This year we were snowed in and the roads were so bad I wasn't able to get out and get the ingredients so I could make it.
I made one of his favorite kinds of cookies instead.

December 2008 025
Make a wish!  (Probably for a cheesecake and no more snow.)

December 2008 031
Dinner and birthday break is over.  Time to get back to work!

December 2008 032
Team Sainton

December 2008 035
Nothin' like shoveling snow.  No really.  It's true.

December 2008 036
Yay, we finished!  Well, we only shoveled half of the driveway, but at least we can get the car out.

December 2008 037
mmmmm, Snow.

Ok, maybe it shouldn't snow that much...


We woke up to soooooo much more snow than we thought we'd have.
It's up to the bumpers of cars and smaller SUVs.
We have about 1.5' - 2' of snow.  Which granted, when you're in the midwest, that's nothing.
Heck, when you're up in the mountains here in Oregon, that's nothing.
But we're in the valley and our average snowfall for any winter at any one time is at the most 4"-6".

Today is Justin's birthday.
We were supposed to go to my mom's house for a family birthday party.
That was canceled as the side roads aren't plowed which means our cars can't leave the garages and driveways.

I think Justin and I are going to shovel the driveway.
Again.
And then we may attempt to walk to a coffee shop just for the fun of it.

Hope all of you are staying warm.  I know Oregon isn't the only state with crazy winter weather.

Love to you all!
