This is me at 7 months pregnant.

This is me at 3 months pregnant, with 10 month old Seth in my arms.
*December 2009*
For the third year in a row I dug out my white jean jacket, green shirt, and fancy green necklace.
The little green jingle bell is lost.
Dear little Seth is one year and 10 months old. His sweet baby sister Sarah Joy is 6 1/2 months old.
We are blessed beyond measure and my arms are full and content.
Truthfully, in this picture my arms are tired. These two are heavy!

In case you are wondering, no, this year I’m not pregnant. 
Good to be Home 
Alas??? Have a blessed Christmas, Shanda ~
Love your sense of style. The babies are cuter than the bell anyway. Happy Friday!
And here I thought we were getting an announcement! Merry Christmas.Sarah
@fwren – That probably wasn’t the right way to put it….so I did a quick edit. 😉 Merry Christmas to you too, dear Fwren!
I thought you were going to say surprise I’m pregnant again. 😉 Very cute green shirt and white jacket!
My eyes got pretty wide as I followed the logical progression of these pictures. 🙂 I was going to feel awfully tired for you if you were pregnant again this year. 🙂 But it would have been a blessing too! 🙂 Those little baby ornaments of yours in the last picture are just precious and dear!!
I remember when you got that necklace. Since you are *not* expecting, I won’t warn you to quit wearing the same clothes each Christmas. I guess you’re safe and can wear whatever you choose! LOL!!!!!!P.S. The girls want to fix Ms. Shanda’s green and red jello cookies. I’m not sure I’m up for that (too many other recipes on the cookie list) – but, I thought it was cute they’ve named them YOUR cookies!
@cherylyn_p – That IS so cute! I want to make them, too…wish we could do it together. 😉
Adorable! Merry Christmas, Shanda!
You are cute as a button and so are your children. You are a blessed woman, Shanda, but I know that you know that.
I remember you posting the first two pictures!How cute, and what a great idea to do it this year too! =)
Sweet post
Very cute! Those clothes have been through a lot!!!!
Two cute heavy bundles. You look great in green… though I miss your cute face!
So cute! Love you!
Cute post — I like your header picture — your children are growing so fast!! Merry Christmas, Shanda, to you and your beautiful family.
hi shanda…….thanks for the disclaimer at the end – i was beginning to wonder!!
Adorable pics hun!
So cute! Hey Shanda! I’m catching up on your blog today.:) I’ve fallen WAY behind since I had Matias (now almost 4 months! yikes!).
What a great photo sequence – Merry Christmas!
adorable ~ love that last shot – I love your Sarah’s hairless head and the bow. It’s just so cute. Scott, my oldest was just like her for a long time, but I couldn’t put a bow on it of course:) He wore lots of hats his first winter his first year but we all loved feeling his little head all the time! Seth is a cutie too.
@resolved2worship – Actually, I’m so happy you commented b/c I thought of you when I looked through my choices for the last pic…Sarah’s arm was cut off in every one and I remember you writing in a post once that it was a *no-no* and I agree but it was the best we could do for that day! LOL
LOVE the pictures, as always!! 😀 I’m glad y’all had a good weekend. May your week be full of fun times and wonderful times too.Merry Christmas!!!!
Fun fun fun!!! Love how the white looks against the green! Isn’t it great to see the passing of time through pictures? It seems like just yesterday you were telling me you were expecting Sethers!
You make me smile, filling my heart with joy. I can’t wait to meet someday in heaven!
