Where has the time gone?

I can't believe that its been over 2 months since i blogged last. A lot has happened in those 2 months. Just to name a few Micah had his last day of 'school'(parents day out.) My sister Katelyn graduated from high school and is spending the summer here with us. We celebrated Father's Day with the Satvedi family. The kids had a great time playing together in the yard. Josiah has grown so much and almost weighs 10 lbs. And we had baby ducks hatch in our yard. I know that was a lot all at once so, here are a few pictures.

Ms. Kelly had to velcro Micah's shoes

When Micah turned 2 i enrolled him in a parents day out program once a week from 8:30 until 1. At first he didn't want to go and missed mommy and daddy all day. Near the end he loved it and couldn't get enough. For the last day the parents were invited to a sneak peek at their day. Allwyn and i went to watch our big boy sing with his classmates, after they had an ice cream party. Micah will be returning to Celebrations parents day out in the fall 2 days a week.

Katie was so excited to open her new purple dell

My sister Katelyn graduated from Novi High the first weekend in June, we're so proud of her. We are blessed to have her staying here with us this summer. Micah loves having here. Every morning he wakes and wants to know where Katie is. He thinks she is here just for him. Michelle, and my family wanted to show her just how proud we are of her so as a graduation gift we got her a new laptop for college. These are the pictures of her opening her present.

Micah painted Daddy a picture

For Father's Day we had Allwyn's family over. It was a beautiful day of fun with family. We enjoyed a BBQ, a game of soccer and lots of water fun. The cousins had lots of fun!


We took Josiah for his 2 month appointment a couple weeks ago and he weighed 9lb 10oz. I can't believe how big my baby boy is. Here are a couple pictures of my guy around the house.

Story time before bed

Josiah was holding on for dear life

Josiah looks scared that his BIG brother is holding him, Micah loves him so much!

Two weeks ago we were enjoying an evening on the patio when Katie heard something in the bushes. I told Allwyn to check it out. He hit the bush with an umbrella. We then got a flashlight a realized it was a duck and she was in the bush sitting on her eggs. Allwyn counted 10 in total. Only 3 days later when i was cooking dinner i went to let Rubix out and i saw mama duck leading 7 of her ducklings out of the bushes. It seems the fan scared them. She and 6 of her babies walked around the yard while one couldn't keep up and sat under my table. Awhile later she returned and helped her other little guy to the best. The next morning mama and the babies were gone. I looked like all 10 hatched and headed to some water. Here are a few of the pictures i got that afternoon.



Just a few of my favorite pictures of my Micah

Pillow Pet

For months Micah has been asking me for a pillow pet. I thought that it would get old and he would stop asking but, he didn't. So finally early last week i ordered Micah his pillow pet. After looking at all the pillow pets he choose the giraffe. He asked everyday if he could have his pillow pet and i would tell him that it was going to come in the mail. Well yesterday during nap the door bell rang and there sat a box. When Micah woke up we went to the door and brought the box inside. Micah was so excited. I told him we had to wait until daddy got home to open the box. (i didnt want Allwyn to miss his excitement)
After greeting daddy as he walked in the door Micah ran to show daddy the box. Here are some pictures of what happened next.

Baby Satvedi

I've been asked a lot lately about what we'll name baby Satvedi. We really have no idea. Boy names are very hard for us to agree on. We had this problem with Micah and once again no name. Girls names are easy we have had a girls name chosen since we got married and talked about a family. Many of you know our number one choice, maybe one day we'll have a daughter. I can't spend time thinking about that because i need a name for this little boy who will be here is just 10 short weeks.
Here is the criteria:
Biblical
Good meaning
Unique
Since i was a teacher before we started a family there are a lot of names i will not name a child. When i hear a name i usually associate a child with it and their behavior/personality. I know that's awful but i just want my child to be themselves. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and will be considered. So next time you see Allwyn or myself let us know what you think.

Aound the House

Here are a few pictures from around the house...

Allwyn and Micah enjoy making a tent with my dining room chairs and blankets... They usually read books and don't allow girls!!!

Micah and his famous orange smile!

Big Boy Room

Yes you read that correctly, Micah has moved to his BIG boy room. I almost can't believe it. I have an empty crib in one room and a bunk bed in the other. Micah did such an amazing job. Friday Feburary 5ht was the big night. We had finally finished his room and decide just to do it. Allwyn and i both took Micah to bed that night and said prayers with him and left the room. Maybe 2 minutes later he came to the door and said, 'mommy i'm all done, all done mommy'. I went into the room took him by the hand and said, 'No, Micah this is your big boy bed you are going nite nite in here. He layed down and held his dino real tight while i rubbed his back for about 5-10 minutes. I told him i loved him and i would see him in the morning. Allwyn and i sat in our nursery in disbeliefe that our baby was now a big boy and had fallen asleep in his big boy bed.

Nap the next day was all Allwyn's job since i had a baby shower to be at. Allwyn said he was a champ and went down without a fight. He slept for 3 hours and was so excited to tell us that he slept in a bunk bed! He has continued to do amazing, please say a prayer this keeps up.

At the advise of a friend we didnt put a lot out for Micah to get into during nap. I've heard that sometimes little boys (and probably little girls) get board during nap and clear out their dresser inside and out! To avoide this you can see from the pictures we have nothing on his dresser and nothing on his table. Well, Ellie the elephant is on his table to help get a good nites rest!

Next step, Getting the nursery ready for baby boy satvedi. (still no name)

It's a BOY!!!

I'm excited to announce that our little miracle on the way is a little BOY! Call it mothers intuition but i knew it from the day i found out i was pregnant. I'm so excited to see my boys grow up together.
We have no leads on a name just yet, of course my husband wants Allwyn but trust me one Allwyn is enough to handle.
Isn't he precious!
