sky train.

P loves trains. All trains. And the Sky Train at Stone Mountain doesn't disappoint him, either. Guilt set in a couple of weeks ago while dragging our child around the entire state of Georgia looking for a glider for baby girl's nursery, so we decided to add a little bit of fun into our day. We made a slight detour on our way home from Atlanta, around I-285 to Stone Mountain for a couple of hours of fun for our little man. The Sky Train and the Fun Barn was just what P needed.

Considering the fact that Taylor and I are both deathly afraid of heights, I would have to say that we definitely love this kid. We love him so much that we were willing to set our fears aside in order for P to have a little bit of uninhibited fun.


Are you sure this thing is safe?



Here goes nothing....on our way up.



How high are we? Seriously?


Once our knees quit shaking, we wandered around, climbed some boulders, and enjoyed the "Fall-ish" breeze on the top of Stone Mountain. (Where is Fall, by the way? This nine-month pregnant whale would love some 80 degree temps.) My two boys were sweet enough to give me a few brief smiles. Pictures of P are difficult to come by these days. He either gives me a forced, fake grin, while hollering "cheese" at the camera. Or he just looks the other way. These are the best I've got....



We had a great couple of hours at Stone Mountain. I'm just glad we made it safely back down to solid ground.

let the countdown begin.

Four weeks and counting until D-Day. And probably less until baby girl's actual arrival. We are getting so excited! We are putting the finishing touches on her nursery. Just a few more things and we will be ready for her arrival. We've been spending lots of quality time together as a family of three. I'm definitely enjoying every moment with my two sweet boys, smothering each of them with love and attention. Our new bundle of joy is definitely welcomed, but I will always have fond memories of this time together as a family of three. Things are going to change, for sure. But they are definitely changing for the better. I cannot wait to hold our sweet little girl in my arms. Four weeks and counting....

My mom and sister came over this weekend to help with organizing the nursery and washing all of baby girl's sweet tiny little clothes. We spent all morning just going through her closet.


Isn't it so much fun doing infant laundry? Everything is so soft and little and precious. And the scent of baby laundry detergent....I swear I could get high off of that stuff. It makes me want baby girl's arrival to come sooner rather than later. Me, my mom, and my sister literally spent an hour and a half just taking the tags off of all of her stuff. I felt like we were little elves on an assembly line. We separated and sorted and and sorted and separated. We had six loads of laundry once it was all said and done. Do you think she's going to be a tad bit spoiled? I think so. I am so happy to add a little bit of pink to our home decor. We can't wait to meet you baby girl! You are already so loved. It is amazing how much we love someone we've never even met.
