Last Post Before Caroline…

Well, we’ve finally reached go time!  Just 3 days and 17 hours until we meet our precious baby girl! Wanted to be sure to update with all the pictures I have before I inundated you with pictures of the big day!

This was during one of our trips home from Atlanta on July 21st, the boys decided they wanted to start sharing a room since they had been sharing one in Atlanta.  This was our compromise for the first night.

And on 7/22 we borrowed a toddler bed from Jo-Jo and this was the set up in Connor and Cole’s new bedroom until Connor got his new big-boy bed for his birthday!

Cole on 8/1, he started coming down with Hand Foot and Mouth Disease and felt awful.

He was feeling awful by 8/2 so we spent the day like this Smile

On 8/3, Daddy attempted to help him feel better by letting him “boom the gas” on the real mower (no blade down of course) and it helped for a little while!
