Frances Adele Howell

Frannie arrived at 7:20 on Wednesday July 18th.  She was 7.15 lbs. and 20 inches long.  She has been so calm and sweet and we could not be happier.  It is amazing, she looks identical to Rogers new born pictures.  I guess we know what a Howell baby will look like!!

Our first family of four picture and Rogers meeting his little sister for the first time.  He was so sweet with her and and wanted to know everything about sweet Frannie.

We had so many fun visitors that wanted to meet baby Frannie.  We love ya'll so much and are so grateful for each one of you!!!

Then it was time to head home...

We have been so blessed and are so excited to welcome Frannie girl into our family!!

A Week and a Half to go

Baby Frannie is almost here, and we are ready to meet her!  I am doing well, just ready to see her face, rather than have her in my belly.
Here are some pictures of the last couple weeks before her big arrival.

Rogers real birthday arrived and now we have a two year old.  He heard me telling so many people that he was going to be, two in May, that now when you ask him how old he is, his response is, "Three in May."  What a silly boy!

Rogers loves to read his bible.  Mama's pretty excited about this, almost every day he goes back to his room to read on his own.  What a big kid!

We have been spending a lot of time playing with our friends at the pool.  My philosophy is pool fun the first half of the Summer and having a baby girl the second half.  Rogers took swim lessons for two weeks and learned to kick and blow bubbles which was great.  Next Summer we are going to head to the learn how to swim in two weeks lessons, so we have a year to get ready!

With the way my posts go, you will probably get to meet a new little girl in our lives next time you stop by!  Can't wait to meet her!!

Master Bathroom Reno

I feel like my motto on this blog is better late than never.  We did a big master bathroom redo back in January and February and I kept waiting until we got the light shades to post some pictures, well I have had them for about a month so here to you.

Here was our beautiful master bathroom before the big transformation.  My personal favorite was the pink tub and sink.  Let's just say it is not the worst bathroom in our house... more to come about that with our next phase of renovation..

Out with the old and in with the new, thank goodness!!  With the MAJOR help of Eddleman Properties,  they transformed our bathroom from a VERY old pink tub into an incredible walk in shower.  We kept the same look from the kitchen and brought it into the bathroom with the same counter tops and cabinetry.

We love it!!!
