It's almost time!

Have you seen our new baby ticker at the top of our blog? We are getting really close! With less than a month to go, everything is turning baby around here. Setting up the crib, baby showers, painting baby's room... This blog is turning into the baby center! Keep checking back for more "getting ready for baby" posts, and one of these days (coming soon!) we'll actually get to post baby pictures!

Is it time, yet??

Painting for Baby...

Time to get baby's room ready! Even though he'll be sleeping in our room for a while, we figured we had better make the switch from his room being used as a storage room, to a room that's actually set up for baby.

Peter recruited Katie (three cheers for Katie!!) and they got busy painting while Leslie cleared all the junk out of the closet.


They were fast! The room was done in no time, and it looks great! We still need some bedding and maybe a few decorations, but the walls are painted and the room is clean. Bring on the baby!

Provo Baby Shower

Baby's arrival is getting close, and we hardly have anything! Thank goodness for good friends -- Rachel, Starlee, and Sarah threw me a baby shower!






























It was great to see college friends and mission companions that I almost never see, and who doesn't love "oooohhhh"ing and "ahhhhh"ing over little-bitty baby items. Our baby boy got some really cute things!





























Rachel was in charge of games. Here are the girls inspecting and smelling "dirty" diapers... If you could guess what chocolate candy bar was melted inside, you won! I got 7 out of 10 - I really know my dirty diapers I guess! Or my chocolate bars... one of the two... (I'm going with the second, ask me about the first in a couple of months :)











































Whoa Belly! Looks like Mums the Word -- There were 5 preggie girls at my shower. Too fun!!















Can't wait for baby!!

Getting ready for baby...

Okay, maybe we're jumping the gun a little but we just couldn't wait! We found a crib on super clearance at Target (thanks to a helpful tip from Aimee!) and couldn't pass up such a good deal. We bought it thinking it would just sit in the box for a couple more months til baby's arrival got a little closer. Nope... turns out I could only wait one day before I made Peter set it up.



Thanks to Peter's handy-dandy new tools, set up was easy! Now we need some cute baby bedding (any volunteers to make that purchase??) and a cute new baby to put in our new cute crib. Sigh... we have a long ways to go :)

Let's bowl!

Our bums were getting sore from watching so many movies, so we decided it was time to break away and go do something. The answer? Family bowling! We got three lanes, all you can eat popcorn and drinks, and all the bowling we could handle. Good times were had by all!

Bowling belly...

Taggart loved bowling - he wanted to roll his ball every time!

Taryn on the other hand was a little more interested in the unlimited diet cokes and popcorn...

Rory loved bowling from the start. It took Brinley a little while to get the hang of it, but you can tell by the end she was loving it! (here she is doing a victory dance)

Good form, good form!

Awwww shucks!

We love bowling!

The Nutcracker

Santa brought all the girls tickets to see the Nutcracker! Sorry, no boys allowed - except for the Daddy. What a treat! It was so much fun to go and see the performance, especially after seeing and hearing Hannah perform and talk so much about it. I loved it! Thanks Santa!

Merry Christmas!!

We spent our Christmas in Mesa with the whole Greenberg clan. It was wonderful! The Christmas feast was delicious, there were lots of games to be played, the weather was warm, and of course we got very spoiled on Christmas morning. Is it all over already?? It was very hard to come back to the real world of school and work after spending our days sleeping in and laying on the couch watching movies. We can't wait to go back and do it all again!
