Family Visits!

We were so excited to be able to visit with our families and share in the joy of new baby John Phillip. It's been a busy month of traveling, and a month that holds a lot of precious memories. He already looks up to all his aunts and uncles...all 22 of them! We had so much fun in Kansas visiting with Bridget and William and the rest of Phil's family. And we are so in love with our little beautiful Godchild, Margaret McKenzie. John and Margaret are the best of cousins now. We couldn't wait to put them next to each other and watch them look into each other's eyes. haha They were too cute!

We then headed to St. Louis towards the end of the month for my family to meet little John. He loved being held and squished all day and got a little spoiled. We had a much fun and relaxing time there. And John loved finally being in his Godmother's, Jana's, arms! Another highlight was watching the UK vs. OSU March Madness game with my family. haha As you can tell by the video on facebook, we made the most out of the night and were ESTATIC that they won..yeehaw!

Me and Phillip are more than blessed to have such an amazing family who loves us so much. Here's some photos that capture some of the days.

Singing

Lately I've been singing to John and he tries to sing along with me. :) I captured a bit of it, but this was after he got a little tired...I was too late. He really sounds like he tries to sing so I hope to get it on film sometime. It's so cute!

Me and My Boots

I never thought I would love having a little boy as much as I do! I just couldn't picture myself with a boy and thought I wouldn't know what to do with one! Girls seemed so much easier. But now that I have little John Phillip, I couldn't imagine anything else. I want lots of boys now! haha He melts my heart every day.

This is one of my favorite pictures. He got so excited and worked up, smiling and cooing. I can tell he wants to be just like Dad already and he seemed to know he looked like such a big boy. :) Then he got all tuckered out and fell asleep.

Smiles

Seeing baby John smile/giggle is seriously one of the greatest joys I've ever experienced. :D

Visit with Uncle Gabe and Aunt Anna!

We had so much fun with Gabe, Anna, little Gaber, and baby #2 on the way! They came out to visit us two weekends ago and we did not want to let them go back home. We are so lucky to have such an amazing couple to look up to. Me and Phil always miss our families and look forward to the times we get to spend with them.

Some highlights of the weekend:

1. Playing Settlers and actually knowing what was going on this time around. :)

2. Thrift store shopping, finding some steals.

3. Pizzeria Rustica restaurant experience. A taste of Italy. Yummy!

4. A beautiful day at Garden of the Gods.

5. Seeing my sister, Anna, pregnant again with baby kicking inside!
