Baby Colton has arrived! He is probably the most adorable little baby ever too. I joked with Mandi that he was probably going to come out 6lbs 10oz because she had the tiniest little bump! Sure enough he came out 6lbs 12oz and 19.5 in. He is so precious! I got to hold him yesterday at the hospital and I fell in love instantly with the little guy. He looks so much like my sister did as a baby. All I could think about was how much my mom would have loved to see her little Mandi moo (she called her that) with a little replica of her! I am so happy for Mandi and her beautiful little family!
Seeing Colton arrive has really made me realize that time is creeping up on us! We aren't quite ready for Amelia's arrival yet but we are getting close. This weekend we are going to finish painting her room and fixing up some things that are broken in there (former residents made holes in the wall yikes). My mother n' law Renee will be coming Monday to help me do the final touches on the room and I'm so so so excited! She has a bunch of fun stuff picked out and so do I! Together I think we can make the room super fun and the best part is we aren't having to buy brand new items. A lot of what we found was from garage sales and antique places :) I can't wait to show all of you when it's complete!
I have also been doing a little Christmas decorating this year. As some of you know, Christmas was my mom's favorite holiday by far. The hard part is she passed away so close to Christmas that I haven't been able to bring myself to decorate the last couple of years. This year I made a promise to myself (and as a mommy) to make Christmas really special for Mason and Brandon. I know my mom would want to go all out with the holiday and make it special for Mace face. I sure do miss her even more this time of year! She really did make Christmas so special for all of us growing up. I will take lots of pictures of the house once all the decor is up.
Here are a few of my favorite photos from the week. Hope you all have a great week before Thanksgiving :)
