It's been a while and for good reason. I have been swamped with a variety of things and simply haven't had time to post pictures.
Believe it or not, but we are under 3 weeks from baby #2! Suzanne has had a few doctor's visits and baby #2 is as stubborn as baby #1 was. It's not moving an inch!
The purpose of this post will likely embarrass Suzanne but she deserves for you to know what a tough and loyal person she is being right now. I am trying to cram as much work in as possible and somehow months ago decided to run a fundraiser for my Rotary Club, which will conclude this Saturday.
Essentially, I've not been home Wednesday night, Thursday night and will be out all day Friday and Saturday. I would say the fundraiser has been a major challenge. I still would not stack it up against the sacrifice and challenge that Suzanne has dealt with. At 37 weeks of pregnancy, she's almost single-handedly providing for a growingly stubborn "almost" 2 year old...don't get me wrong, Jacob is still sweet and she would agree...but his little mind is certainly developing some patterns. She's still sewing (now for us mostly and not business) and getting the house ready for baby #2. I have pitched in sporadically but not very well, frankly.
Su is exhausted and I've had a variety of emotions of leaving her solo to manage nearly all our home tasks but she deserves major kudos for her toughness and her love. Please shoot her an e-mail or a comment here as I hope the encouragement will help her make it through two more days of my absense.
I have assured her that I will focus on the family starting May 2! In hindsight, I wish it would've been done earlier but we can hope that some good things will come out of my commitments. I also promise our loyal viewers more pictures soon...and if Jacob's not careful some video proof that he's spoiled rotten!

~being a stay at home mom is not an easy task for sure: just glad you are holding the fort so admirably and that Davis's absence is temporary.As his mom I also have to appreciate the fact that he acknowledged your love and support in the blog world for all to see~~along with the fact that he committed to being totally there for you after Saturday!! You have proof with many witnesses.
Take care,
me
p.s. you can send Jacob to Grenada because Bebe and Pops have been digging in the back yard dirt and could use some help.We are pooped!
Hang in there Su!
You know I will always keep that little cutie for you. You know he likes my food!!
Davis- very sweet of you to acknowledge her hard work and dedication as a Mom. Since we stay at home moms work for "free", acknowlegement, appreciation, and love from our husbands and children are gold!
Can't believe ya'll will be a "party of four" soon! Awesome!
Suzanne - I am already impressed with the adorable shirts you make, let alone chasing after an almost two year old and holding down the fort! Really excited for you all for the big day in May!
How wonderful to acknowledge your wife like this and to understand what all is involved in taking care of a child, while pregnant, and projects at home...I was a stay at home mom for a while before going to work..Staying at home was much tougher, especially after 2nd child came..I know what you are doing is also very important, and I am glad you will soon be able to be at home more..Looking forward to pictures AND videos of Jacob...lol...Praying for these last few weeks of pregnancy for Suzanne and praying for healthy baby...God bless you all..
