Frills

Ive always struggled to be a frilly girl. I decided to put in some effort and painted my nails and toes a few days ago. 2 days later and it's already chipping. Ugh. I think I'll try again in a year or so :)

Here is a quick video of Caleb playing peek-a-boo. Hes started doing it lately in random places, and this one just so happens to be on the kitchen floor!


Everything is really great around the Sherman home. We are headed to Denton in a week for Kristen's wedding shower (one of my besties from high school). Then, a few weeks later, Caleb and I are headed to Florida for my sister's wedding shower. Its going to be a year of weddings and parties for me! Fun! Im finally not pregnant or carrying around a tiny infant!

I love this kid-

TWINS!

No No No, Im not having twins. Heaven help me :) BUT... I did get to see twins today! Let me start from the beginning-

I have recently started working at the South Austin Pregnancy Resource Center. A woman at our church works there, and Ive always been interested in counseling and working at this type of place. Our church has gotten more involved with the center, so I decided to volunteer! Nathan puts in extra hours on other days and even wakes up at 6 to work from 6am-9:30am on Monday mornings so I can work at the center from 10 to 4. I LOVE it. I love the volunteers and the women who come to the center. Ive only been there for about 2 months, and I already cant imagine not being there.

One of the things that Ive enjoyed being trained to do at the center is sonograms. Ive always had a heart for sonos- when working at the animal hospital while living in Louisville, I did my sonograms on my own belly throughout my pregnancy. I also did a number of friends and really loved it! So, doing sonograms at the Pregnancy Center felt like a perfect fit.

So, today I was able to do a few ultrasounds, but one in particular was so wonderful! I wont go into the details of Gods grace in this woman's life and the redemption he has given her, but when I started doing the ultrasound, it became quickly clear that she was having TWINS! It was incredible. We got to see two 11 week old babies dance around in her belly. She was shocked, and I was so excited! So So awesome. It looked a little something like this-





I love the SAPRC and how they bring the love of Christ to those hurting or in need.

I dont get it...

I have absolutely NO idea why Owen has decided to "smile" a certain way in pictures. He first began "smiling" for the camera at Christmas, and this is what he did. I decided to post a few pictures across a few months of his "smile." Goofy kid.






I mean... REALLY???

Final Bath Post... maybe?..

Why are babies in the bath so stinkin cute? I know I know, these pictures will probably be used against my boys one day, right? And I do realize that Owen is getting to be older and probably wouldnt appreciate that his bum is all over the internet. So, this is my last bath tub post of Owen. Maybe... :) They just love bath time and are so sweet in there together! For your enjoyment-






Rock Star

Thats right, Im talking about this guy...
