a junkin' weekend.

 my completely unintentional, i just had zero motivation blogging hiatus   has come to an end! not sure if I have any readers left at this point...   moving on! 
 this weekend was a fabulous weekend for multiple reasons- the weather was BEAUTIFUL, it was spent with friends and family, and it was filled with junk (jubilee, that is).   

junk jubilee is this amazing 3 day event where vendors from all over come and set up shop  so people can peruse through their treasures.  

the crew, ready to take on the crowds and junk

   it was extra special this go around,  because my mom and aunt had their very own booth (and I felt like a proud mother, snapping pictures)!

aren't they the cutest!? my mom is on the left, aunt is on the right.

michael and i seriously considered purchasing this awesome windmill for our backyard, but backed out at the last minute. we weren't ready to make quite the commitment, or haul out that 9 foot piece of metal! 
the day before the jubilee started,  my mom was busy getting everything ready to go. James and I came over to get in her way help her out, so i was able to snap a few more pictures of her items for sale. i legit wanted to purchase every item she had!  

and here's J doing what he does best...

playing outside and loving life!   now hopefully it won't be so long before i post again...

a tiny (but actually really big) announcement.

 so excited to finally put it out there that we're expecting baby #2!   the last 12ish weeks have been very different  from the first 12 weeks of pregnancy with james.   have you noticed my lack of posts lately? ...that tiny bump in the picture is why.   i have been tired, experiencing morning all day sickness,  and trying to keep up with a very active 20 month old.    we had a slight scare a few weeks back,  but i was able to get an ultrasound to make sure all was well. sure enough! a healthy, active little peanut was in there, strong heartbeat and all!   thankfully, i'm starting to feel more like myself again.   we didn't find out the gender with j,  and we plan on not finding out with the second, as well.   so there you have it! can't wait for october to roll around this year... although that is the peak of football season. let's just hope i don't go into labor on a friday night. :)

resting in truth.

  i've been struggling with some things lately, but am reminded again and again that God will bring me peace. He is on my side. after all, he has overcome the world.   "it's always darkest before the dawn."
