Anticipation

Just a few unedited shots of the excitement brewing at our house these days.  We're gearing up for little sister's arrival!!!

These Days...

It's been a while, so this could be lengthy.  Or, I might get exhausted as I begin to recap the last three months and go into serious summary mode - thus making this update exceptionally  brief.  Let's see...


Our Christmas card...the pumpkins say "It's A Girl"


The holiday season always seems to bring a certain level of chaos, but this branch of the Dorr family took it to a whole new level this year.

We ended November with Philip taking a quick trip to Jordan for a screening of THE SAVIOR.  He then met us for Thanksgiving in Kansas where we visited my sister and brother in law.  Fun road trip...ice skating...eating...shopping...the zoo...Ft. Riley - all good stuff!  Naturally, in my haste to make it to a client's birth, I deleted all the Kansas photos I took.  Brilliant.

Kylie doing her daily dose of homeschool.  Admittedly, some days are challenging, but she is steadily
 progressing and becoming a confident reader. 
We are working hard to stay ahead of schedule so we can take some time off when the baby is born!


Mid-December marked the beginning of my third trimester!

Check out that smile - aren't you in love with her already???

As if welcoming a new baby isn't enough, we decided to buy a new house and sell our current one.  All of this happened before the end of the year, 2 days after Christmas.  We lived in a motel for a week while Philip gutted the new-to-us home. Then the girlies contracted some flu-like thing so we ended up living with our personal nurse for the next two weeks (otherwise known as my AMAZING grandmother!)

Early January found Avery turning four years old.  Just. Can't. Believe. It.  We were recovering from the holidays, the flu, and moving so we had a sweet and very low-key celebration with family.

They met four years ago and have been in love ever since.





 

We have moved in to the new place now, but haven't quite gotten it all pulled together.  So more to follow soon - -  house pictures and of course pictures of our new baby girl are only a few weeks away!
