Hello, Siena!
Just sharing a couple of pictures of Sarah and Joe's beautiful daughter, Siena Marie. At 9 months she is a big healthy girl, already walking while holding onto a push toy, and playing her new favorite game of pulling all of her books off the shelf one by one. We miss you baby girl!

38 Weeks and a new baby room!
This past weekend, Mom & Dad Engle came to visit and did so much to whip our house (and us) into shape and get ready for this baby to come! We feel bad putting them to work every time they come to visit, but they don't seem to mind (and they keep coming) so we'll take what we can get. Thanks so much for all that you do - we love you! 
Among the weekend accomplishments: finishing up the baby room. We organized all of the beautiful gifts that we received from our generous family and friends, put the rest of the furniture into place, and Dad & Andrew hung things on the walls. Below is our reading corner:
Dresser and changing area:
The crib, featuring more artwork by Marius Valdes (www.valdescreative.com) and a mobile with family pictures, made by our dear friend Dawn Waters:
And the beautiful book rack given to us by Teresa's book club, who are all passing a love of reading on to the next generation. Thank you so much, girls! 
And a belly picture from over the weekend, 37-38 weeks along.
We are getting so excited and while we still have items on our to-do list, are enjoying the updates to our house and each other!

36 Weeks, and one more Awesome Baby Shower
Earlier today, Andrew and I went to the doctor for our 36 (and a half) week ultrasound and check-up. It was pretty amazing to see the poor baby all squished up in the belly, not much room to move around at all! The ultrasound technician estimated the baby at 7lbs 3oz already, which is a little bigger than average - but healthy and looking good to go for the weeks to come!
This past weekend, some wonderful friends from my book club had a shower for me and we had such a wonderful time! Thank you Mary Kyle for hosting at your beautiful home, and everyone for all of the planning and lovely gifts.

Although she was out with the boys for most of the afternoon, beautiful baby Kate (almost 7 months old) came back to say hi to everyone - such a happy, expressive and alert baby!
