Time For a Hercules Picture

Have we mentioned that he loves laying in the sun?

Halloween!!

Halloween was fun this year! Taylor dressed up as a pumpkin! We had 20 trick-or-treaters, including Savannah who was in town for the weekend. She wasn't sure what to think of my belly and asked "Where did Taylor go?" We spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching Garfield's Halloween Adventure (best Halloween special ever)! Hercules even got in on the fun and dressed up! All in all, it was a great night!

Chattanooga Trip

Last weekend, Blake took me to Chattanooga for one last trip away before we settle in and wait on Taylor! He had saved up some money and surprised me with it. We had a wonderful trip! We went to the Murder Mystery Theater, the zoo, and took a dinner cruise on the Southern Belle. We also got some good time to relax and ate a lot of good food (or at least I ate a lot)! We took so many good pictures, I couldn't pick which ones to post on here. This one is my favorite of us! The rest of the pictures are located at http://blakeandsteph.myphotoalbum.com. Head over there and check them out!

The Nursery Is Finished!!!

Here are updated pictures of the finished nursery! I am so excited to have it complete! We still need to put a few things on the shelves and I need to work on my ribbon tying on Taylor's name, but that is all small stuff. I can't wait for everyone to see it in person!!

Puppies!!

We went last night to visit with Hercules' dog mom and dad and the litter of puppies they just had! (Hercules' sister and brothers). They were too cute! Hercules did really well with them, and also did well with his mom and dad (Heidi and Pops). Here are some of the pictures from our night with them.Samson! I would love to bring him home!
Peek-a-boo!!

An Outpouring of Love!

I spent this past weekend in Nashville visiting some of my family and friends, and I was amazed at the nice things they did for me and Taylor! I spent a couple hours at Starbucks with my friend Vanessa and she surprised me with several goodies. She gave me a cute sleeping bag type thing for Taylor to sleep in, some great boxes for the nursery, burp cloths she made, and fleece blanket she embroidered, and a blanket she crotched! I was so amazed! Then Sunday, I spent the afternoon with my Granny and Mom and Dad. My Granny had several things for Taylor. There was a cute doll, a couple blankets, and shirt, and a quilt she is still working on. We also went shopping and she bought a beautiful dress and cute outfit for Taylor, and a really cute sweater for me! My Mom and Dad also sent me home with about 6 packs of diapers! I think Taylor will be "covered" for a little while. (Of course there are about 12 more packs of diapers waiting for me to bring back home to Cookeville!) All in all it was a wonderful weekend. Of course, it would have been just as wonderful to just spend time with everyone, but I do love all the gifts as well! It is so sweet for everyone to think of us during this time!! Here are some pictures below of a few things I brought home!Diapers in the changing table ready to go!
More diapers stored in the closet!
