big hugs for baby...

hey everyone! we hope all is well with you! CLICK HERE to see some of the latest snapshots of hudson and our growing family. speaking of which, some of our favorite pictures in this bunch are of hudson giving big hugs to mommy's belly. everytime we talk about "baby greyson" and ask where he is, hudson runs over and gives a big hug to rebekah's growing belly. it's so neat to see him understanding the concept more and more as time passes. hopefully, he'll fully understand by the time the birth actually happens. rebekah is soon entering her 33rd week of pregnancy and everything seems to be going perfectly! glory! we are beyond excited to meet our new, precious little boy! thanks so much for keeping us in your prayers, too, we are confident they make a difference! enjoy the photos and will keep you updated!

"In Him and through FAITH in Him may we approach God with FREEDOM and CONFIDENCE" ~Ephesians 3:12

the countdown has begun...

so...we are officially ready for greyson to arrive. we can't wait...although the thought of the lack of sleep to come does seem a bit daunting! over christmas break we had hudson's new room painted and got all new carpet installed up the stairs/hallway and in all three rooms. we moved hudson over into his new room (which he LOVES!) and got greyson's nursery all put together and ready. we are so excited to have another boy on the way!

rebekah is doing great, too. this week, she is 30 weeks pregnant. the countdown has officially begun! if you didn't already know, rebekah has decided to leave her job at stay at home full-time with the boys. she was only working 2 days a week, but we felt God leading us to this decision.

.

hudson is an absolute treasure! he is so precious and has such a sweet and loving personality. lately, he's loved coloring and especially likes playing with pots and pans. he continues to learn new words everyday and it's so awesome to see is personality develop even more! we can already tell that he'll be the BEST big brother to greyson!

so...there's the lastest update. CLICK HERE to see some new pictures! we'll keep you posted!

holiday time...

hey everybody!

we hope you're having a great holiday season! it's been so fun this year with hudson during the holidays...setting up the tree, decorating the house, making christmas cookies, and all the other fun stuff. one of his favorite things to do is to drive in the car and look at all the christmas lights. it's so fun to watch him become more verbal and he learning new words everyday. he's very into reading books and loves to play the most with things that really aren't toys (like utencils, cups, boxes, etc.). we're thinking that when it comes to opening christmas gifts, he's going to play with the paper and boxes more than the gifts themselves. that's okay...we had better enjoy that now!

rebekah is doing great with baby boy number two on the way! she is 25 weeks pregnant and is enjoying every moment of it. This little one seems to be very active and likes to kick mom and hudson all the time! by-the-way, if you didn't know already, our new bundle of joy will be named greyson cooper! it's not a family name or anything like that...just one that we both really liked! we are so excited for his arrival and are thrilled to have a brother for hudson to play with. please keep praying for rebekah and baby greyson!

we have some more pictures to share with you. CLICK HERE to see them! enjoy!

it's a boy!

we found out a couple weeks ago that we're having another boy! we are very excited and can't wait for him to arrive. :)

it's been awhile since we've updated the pictures so here are some of the latest ones to check out...CLICK HERE.

pumpkin patch

we made a trip the kingsway farm in hartville today to visit a pumpkin patch. hudson, who is now 18 months old, had so much fun! he especially liked the hayride out into the pumpkin patch where we got to pick our very own pumpkin. he also loved watching all the tractors and farm animals. he was so funny picking out a pumpkin...he went up and down each aisle and would look at each one carefully. finally, he found the pumpkins "his size" and tried to give them all to mommy to take home. at the end of the trip he was exausted and fell fast asleep in the car on the way home. we can't wait to do it all again next year...then we'll have "twice" the fun!!!

an update on baby number 2 - rebekah is finally beginning to feel better after a first trimester full of nausea and morning sickness (that lasted all day, everyday). she is finally starting to "pop" a little bit (even though nobody else can tell just yet). she feels the baby move and kick all the time and hudson knows that there's a "baby in mommy's belly" (he lifts up her shirt and points to her belly when you ask him about "mommy's baby"). we have an appointment on NOVEMEMBER 5th and hope to find out the sex of the baby. we'll keep you posted!!! thanks for your continued prayer for a safe and healthy pregnancy!

the apple orchard

can you believe it? two posts in two days (that never happens)!!! don't forget to scroll down and check out the previous post to see the recent pictures we added yesterday.

anyhow, we went to an apple orchard today and had a blast! hudson was soooo funny...he just couldn't figure out why there were so many good apples all over the ground! needless to say, we had to make sure he didn't take a bite out of thoses ones! We wanted to share the pictures with you! enjoy!

Be sure to watch for the nitorious pumpkin patch pictures soon, too...we are planning to go in a couple of weeks. you won't want to miss them.

baby #2

hello, friends & family-
if you didn't know already, we are thrilled to share with you that we are adding a fourth member to our family in march. rebekah is just about 15 weeks pregnant and doing great! she's finally getting over the sickness and is now beginning to feel the baby move. hudson doesn't really understand yet why we keep telling him "there's a baby in mommy's belly"...but hopefully he'll understand when the time comes. hudson absolutely adores babies so we just know that he will be the best big brother.
by-the-way, hudson is almost 18 months old and is as healthy as can be. he weighs 25 pounds and is 32 inches tall. it is such a joy to watch him grow and continue to discover new things each day. he has such a sweet, fun-loving personality and loves to play and laugh and "talk" all day long. one thing that's certain is that he loves MUSIC! he loves to dance and groove to the beat anytime he hears it...it's hilarious!!!
