Berninger's in Brookville

We made our way to southern Indiana yesterday for the Berninger Reunion. It was so neat to see my Grandpa so excited! You could tell he has waited for this day and loved answering any questions that would help fill in the pieces of the puzzle to all us younger. We drove through the countryside (some pretty winding roads at times) and enjoyed seeing the church the Berninger's attended after moving here from Germany and the cemetry where they were laid to rest. It was a neat day and Kit and I enjoyed the family history. Although, I was kinda hoping to walk away with some name ideas but unfortunately, nothing jumped out!! :)

The little one turns 3!

Our Grover turned...3 !!! I can't believe he is 21 already. We celebrated the day with cheese and peanut butter treats which are his all time favorite---homemade :)

We also had Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Troy for dinner and Grover shares his birthday with Lindsay so that was a fun evening and a joy to have such great company!

Perdido Key, FL

We had an awesome time with family last week in Perdido Key, FL. The weather was awesome and we really had nothing planned but laying on the beach, going to the pool and taking naps! The day was filled with funtimes trying to help mom find her sand dollars, watching my neices and nephews boogie board and playing football in the pool. We also had the best sno cones I've ever had!!
It was so nice to relax and not hear a phone ring or have to even think about work!

Erika turned 5 while we were there...how fun to have a birthday on the beach :)

Quick Belly Shot

Baby update...our appt on tuesday went really well and we were able to hear the heartbeat again :)

The Big Announcement...

Well, I'm sure anyone who reads this blog already knows the big news because you are friends and family but if you didn't, here goes!!! We are expecting a baby December 24th! We are so excited to be having a baby... and finally able to tell people :).
God has truely blessed us and we couldn't be more grateful for this new life!
We've already had my first appt, and an ultrasound . I am switching OB/GYNs and so we will have another appointment this week.

It was so fun to tell friends and family last weekend!!!! Alot of my family had a "feeling" they knew which was cool and Kit's family was quite shocked I'd say!

I am quite proud of myself that I figured out how to add the pregnancy ticker at the top of this blog and I have wanted to put the big news on here for a while now. Since I couldn't, I have avoided posting ANYTHING!! Sorry for the lack of posts recently...things should start picking up again. Kit and I are going on vacation soon and we can't wait to just sit on a beach for a week pretty much doing nothing!

I haven't been too sick, just nauseated... and the evenings are far worse than the mornings...

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering...we are NOT going to find out what we are having. That's why I put the yellow gingham background on the blog. Kit and I are going to surprised! I did put a couple pictures of the ultrasound, this is at right about 10 weeks. The first picture is a profile of baby and the second is the baby's little sweet face

Baby Cad@ 10 weeks
