It's A Boy!!!

So I think most of you who read this blog already knew that Chad and I were expecting. We found out yesterday that it's a boy!!! We feel so humbled and so incredibly blessed to know that God has allowed us to experience the growth and movement of a healthy baby!!

We have a lot to do to prepare for the little one. We haven't completely decided on a name yet , so we'll keep you posted.
Now that we know it's a boy, we can get started working in the nursery --very exciting!
Chad has been busy lately working on the outside of our house. We've been refinishing and painting our front door and back door and we will put new shutters up soon.

I think that was the last picture we'll see of the baby before he's born in March, so we'll keep you up to date on the preparations for Baby Hayes!

Congrats William and Bonnie!!!

This past weekend we were in Fort Mill to marry off my little brother. It was the sweetest wedding-- they were so happy to be getting married!! William actually found someone who likes to hunt and fish. They went to the Outer Banks for their honeymoon-with 2 fishing poles!! They are so much alike!!!

I'm so happy to finally have a "sister"! We had so much fun visiting with family and friends.

Finally..an update!

So I know that I have gone all summer with no updates. But...we just haven't had alot going on. We just stayed home all summer and did some things around the house. I keep forgetting to take pictures of the progress in our sunroom. I'll have to do that soon.

This past weekend Chad's grandmother passed away so we headed to Greenville. Despite the circumstances, it was a great time with family! Little Noah is growing up so fast--already 4 months!

I didn't take any pictures the whole time until we were leaving. So here we are--saying goodbye.

Oh well, as I said, not much going on here.

School has started back for me and it's going very well. We have 20 in our class--which I will not complain about!! Chad is staying very busy with work and has even picked up a few side design jobs for some friends.

We should have some more interesting updates coming up soon--my little brother gets married in a few weeks!!! We'll keep you posted.....

Peachtree Road Race 2008!!

We spent our July 4th running the Peachtree. We absolutely loved it and will definately try to make it a July 4th tradition!!

Here's our whole group--we all met at 6:00 am and carpooled to the race to meet up with the 55,000 other runners.

I finished in 1 hr. 12 min. and Chad finished in 1 hr. 8 min.

Not really good time, but considering that it was our first time and we didn't really train--I think we did pretty good. Chad actually did not train at all.

I had so much fun running the race that I am actually considering a half-marathon next year. I think it would be a great accomplishment!! We'll see....

Sunroom Floor!!

I finally have a sunroom floor! I finished up grouting and sealing the tile this week. We absolutely love it!! I can't wait to start decorating soon. This weekend we will be installing door moldings and baseboards. Then I will have some painting to do next week. It's such a slow process but very much worth it!

The dogs are even enjoying it!! We're dogsitting this week, so Dakota is loving the company.

Braves Game

Yay! We made it to a Braves game this year with Adam and Bentley and Ella. We didn't pay too much attention to the game--it was just so nice to be outside!!

Chad and I have been working really hard to get our sunroom floor finished. We're almost there! We have finished tiling and grouting. Now we just need to install baseboards, mouldings, and doors. It looks great!! I'm really excited to get in there and start decorating!! I'll have pictures posted soon!

Home Again

Sunday night we all decided to go to the pool. They absolutely love the pool--I think they could stay in it all day!

After giving baths and putting kids to bed, Chad got very sick. He must have gotten some kind of stomach virus. It was awful! He was up all throughout the night. The next morning I had to call the grandmother and tell her to come get the kids. I definately didn't want them getting sick too. So...our time with the Neimans has been cut short. They will be staying with their grandparents the rest of the week. We had fun but we are definately enjoying our time being back at home!
