My new found LOVE!

I have recently found my new love and it is the season FALL! I am so excited for this season to start! I have never been a huge "fall person" at all, but this year it is totally different! I am totally surrounded by this warm feeling when I think about it! I want to redecorate my house in fall decorations! I went to Hobby Lobby this past weekend and loved everything I saw. Lets not even talk about the Christmas decorations they have out too!!! I am so excited and I actually think I know where this excitement is coming from.....

This is the season that my son will be born! I will have my first baby in November, and quickly celebrate my first two holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, with him. It is such a "mommy" feeling! I have always loved holidays but this year is so different! For the first time I feel like I am seeing this holiday season through my Mother's eyes, or maybe my mommy eyes :)

Letters to my baby!

Today is September 28th

As you are getting bigger I can really feel you moving around a lot! It is such a neat feeling but it also reminds me that you are going to be here with us really soon! We are so excited and we can't believe how quickly it has seemed to go. We are working really hard to get everything ready for you. We have decided to decorate your room in a jungle theme and to get ready Daddy painted your room a really pretty green color! He did such a great job and worked really hard taping the wall behind your crib to create a lattice design!

This is Daddy pulling all the tape down!

Doesn't it look great!?!

I am so proud of your Daddy! We both love you so much and can't wait to see you sleeping in your crib in this room! Love you bunches little man!

Love,

Mommy

Letters to my baby!

Hey little man! It has been so long since I have been able to stop and write to you! Ever since Mommy has gone back to work everything has been so crazy. It has been really neat coming back to work for my 5th year of teaching with you with me. When we finished my 4th year you were still pretty small, many people knew about you but I don't think everyone at work knew because when I came back after Summer vacation there were some surpised faces! You have definitely gotten bigger!! So much has happened and I will update you on all of it!

One of the most exciting accomplishments that Mommy and Daddy have done is choosing your name! A person's name is so important and we put a lot of thought into yours! We have decided your name will be

Gavin Jack Terry!

We really love it and hope you do too! I am going to work really hard to update you on everything!! Love you so much little man!

Love,

Mommy
