Goodbye Car

We sold our little white Saturn this week. And Daniel kissed the last shred of his bachelor life goodbye with it. He is embraising his inner family man. Mainly because we got a pretty sweet new "family" vehicle.








Goodbye little Saturn I have many fond memories of you.




- This is the car that Daniel picked me up for our first date in.


- This is the car that we sat in my driveway in and talked until the wee hours of the night while we were dating.


- This is the car that we said a hundred awkward goodnights in as we were falling in love, but didn't kiss until we got engaged (yep, we are those people.)


- This is the car that Daniel picked me up in after a week full of surprises. That night he asked me to marry him.


- This is the car that Daniel stored his roller blades in the truck for nearly two years. Never using them, they were just there.


- This is the car that we loaded our first and second Christmas tree into.


- This is the car that is too low to the ground for a pregnant woman to get in and out of comfortably. That the car whose door would never stay open for me to get in and out of.


- This is the car that we drove to the hospital in while I was in labor. The car ride that was realistically five minutes and felt like a lifetime.


- This is the car that we loaded our brand new baby into and drove home going 20 miles per hour as not to gossle him too much.








And this is our new car, in which I know we will make many many new memories.

  1. I remember saying goodbye to my first car--a dark blue 1991 Mercury Cougar. It was a sad day, indeed.

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many

Our family Christmas

Here is the Christmas dilema when both parents in a family are pastors and need to be at church most of the Christmas weekend...when does our family do presents???  Answer - whenever we want :)  Daniel and I decided that we love traditions and we are enjoying creating new ones for our family.  One of the traditions that we are going to do with our family is to surprise our kids with the present part of Christmas.  We really want Christmas day to be about Jesus being born.  So we thought it would be fun as they get older to pick a day for us to open presents, then surprise the kids as to when it is. This year, we decided to have our family Christmas on Friday because its our usual family day anyway.  I also decided that it would work better for our schedule to set up and wrap some last minute presents during nap time.  So when the boys woke up from their naps we had a present party. Nathan's big gift was a kitchen with play food.  Nathan is really interested in cooking and loves t
