Back for a long time

After a busy month of traveling we are finally back home to stay until after the baby is born. We had a great time in Virginia Beach and then flew up to New York for Melinda's baby shower and surprise it was a double shower for both her and I. Thank you Yvette and mom for planning that. We had a great time but are very tired from flying back. Now we are working on the next stage of our life as we finish preparing for the baby.

Happy Father's Day Joel

Today, we got to celebrate Joel's second year as a Father. We are looking forward to the next Father day where he will be a Father to both our munchkin and our little boy. Joel you are an amazing Daddy!!! I can't wait for the next 20 or so years to watch you as you are a daddy to our kiddos. I love you!!!

Trumpet of God

You all are probably thinking wow what got into Michelle she is going to be all spiritual. Actually I am not LOL!!! But you would have thought that happened tonight outside the way Joel jumped out of his chair in fear. We as a family were enjoying the nice evening outside and just sitting there having good conversation and Lydia was playing around in Joel's car. Well all of the sudden she lays on the horn and BAM!!! Joel is up and out of his chair like we were going to be raptured away. But no he was just living in fear of whatever that sound was. I couldn't help but bust out my chair laughing at him and as I write this I am still laughing about it. The funniest part about it is I have never been able to scare him half as bad as the sound of the horn in his ear and Lydia also scared screaming OUT OUT!!!. So it was most eventful night at the Leineweber house, wish you all could have seen it.

Sleeping well

Lydia has adjusted to her big girl bed really well. What we thought would be hard has been real easy. Although, one nap she crawled out of her bed and came banging on the door because she thought nap time was over. So I put her back in bed and told her to stay there until mommy came to get her and it worked. This morning however, daddy had to get her because she once again crawled out of bed and daddy had to put her back so she knows that she can't get out of bed until we come and get her. Other than that the transition has been good. She is battling an ear infection now, but she is the happiest even though she is sick. We are going on vacation next week and she will get to sleep in a big girl bed at her Nana and Pa's house. I will let you know how that goes.

We will see

I will update you all on how Lydia did on her first night in her big girl bed. She didn't like the fact that we moved her crib into the babies room and she kept trying to crawl back into the crib but we successfully put her to bed all snuggled up and she cried for a few minutes but we prayed with her and let her have her blankie and off we went. She didn't cry once we left the room. So pray that her transition goes smoothly.

The rooms are finished

After a weeks worth of hard work the rooms are mostly finished. Lydia's room is all the way finished but baby boy's room has some last minute details like the curtain and the bedding oh and the baby. Thank you to Joel's parents for doing an amazing job and working hard. Here the pictures of their rooms. After a weeks worth of hard work the rooms are mostly finished.

Baby boy's room and update

Joel's parents came to once again help us out with painting and doing some shelving. Baby boy is still doing well. I had to have some test done because they think I might be anemic but no problem I will just have to take some more iron. I am now getting anxious to add the crib and the changing table to his room but we have to first switch Lydia to a big girl bed and find a dresser for her room. So here are some pictures of our progress. Joel's parents came to once again help us out with painting and doing some shelving. Baby boy is still doing well. I had to have some
