Around These Parts

These past few weeks have been so different than our normal lives. We've had great visitors visit us, Dustin's been gone for two weeks in Honduras, and we went on a mini-trip to visit friends and family. It seems like we've been trying to fit in some last minutes things before our lives change dramatically! :) 

I love when Julip closes her eyes like this... she does it when you ask her to do/eat something she doesn't want! ha

Dustin is extremely proud of this picture... he thinks he took a good one. 

Rather than being all mopey and sad while Dustin was gone, I decided to stay SUPER busy! I have definitely taken nesting to a whole new level. Honestly, I think I may have a problem. But lots has been getting done around here before baby comes. And I was able to surprise Dustin with some DIY home updates upon his return! 

Basically, during the day Julip and I played outside. We ate every meal outside and played out in the garden with friends and in the sunshine. At night, after Julip went to sleep, I mostly sewed or built/made things into the wee hours of the night... If you've ever wondered, birds here in St Louis wake up some time around 3:15 a.m. 

I thought she looked so precious reading in the natural light... so precious! 

I caught Julip putting on momma's makeup! Nice mustache, Jubie!

One of our mini breakfasts outside. yummy yummy! 

Finally Dustin came home! :) And we had such a lovely couple of days before he went back for round two in Honduras (which was unplanned, but God totally worked it out for him to go again with the other half of the youth group!)

I have this thing where I can spot animals in the wild... and I'm kinda prideful about it, ha! So here is a turtle we found in the park. 

Here is Jubie with her cute piggy tails! :) 

Going on a walk. I just love this picture! 

Just look at that little face! :) 

I'll have to do a separate blog post on all of the things I've been working on... but in the meantime, I have more to do!!! :) And baby is coming any day now! :) 

Much love, 
caro, xoxo
