Bedtime prayers

It is one of the delights of my day to put Nathan to bed.  I love the precious moments that we get to spend just him and me before he goes to sleep.  Every night before I put him down in bed we say our prayers.  I ask Nathan who he wan'ts to pray for and usually lists off all of his friends from daycare first, then our family members.  Next I pray for Nathan and I pray the dreams that we have for Nathan over him.  Then Nathan usually interjects little tidbits from his day, or says funny things. 
Starting this year, I have begun to be even more purposeful of our nighttime prayers.  I found this calendar, which gives a theme for each day and a scripture verse to go with it.  I posted this above the light switch in Nathan's room so it is available at a quick glance.  I'm am thinking I am going to frame it so it looks nicer. Nathan has noticed this addition to our routine and now will point at the paper calendar and say, "say prayers."

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
