Preparing for Max/An eventful weekend!

We spent all day Saturday getting ready for Max. I woke up determined to get this house in order! I meant business!!! I gathered the troop and we all went to work! We went from room to room gutting out/making piles for Goodwill. After all the rooms were finished we headed for Max and Mitchell's room to get them packed up. We had so much fun. We let the kids pick out which outfits we would take for Max. I just hope they all fit! Mitchell is excited to have a roommate! He has always told Mallory and Maggie Kate they are lucky to share a room together :)



I had to post some of the cute outfits waiting on Max when he gets home. Shoes like his bro.

We love the Life Is Good stuff!


I am saving this outfit for him to wear on Easter. I couldn't resist, I think he will be so cute in it!


Won't he be cute in these clothes!
We hope he likes Thomas!

Here's all his things...ready to go!
We are going to take this backpack with us when we meet him. We bought lots of toys/candy to go in it.


These are the outfits the kids picked out for him. The flip flops are going to be way to small I'm afraid.
After the house was clean/organized, Michael went to church to conduct a baptism. Meredith went with him, while the rest of us stayed here and played Halloween dress up.Now, on to Sunday.
Sunday was the children's primary program. I can't believe I only have two kiddos left in primary:(
The theme this year was, I am a child of God. The kids did such a good job. I loved it!



Now for the eventful part! Mitchell had an accident on his bike that sent us to the ER and left him with stitches!
He and Meredith went for a bike ride and somehow he flipped over his handlebars.
After all was said and done I think he was kinda excited to have stitches because his dad has a scar in the same spot from a bike wreck!
Note: Can you believe that out of all four of our kids he is the last one to have an ER trip for stitches, and he's the only boy! We thought that was funny!

okay, it has been a little bit emotional around here with Joe Caten passing away this weekend, but I have no idea why I am blubbering so hard over his little clothes.

And Mitchell wanting to share his room!

No one at our house has EVER said that!

I am so so happy for your family. Adrian said this morning that he is sad for all of the junk you have had to and will have to deal with with Max, but is excited for a few months down the road, cause he knows it will be all worth it.

Yes, MY husband said that, can you believe it?

Those are some cute outfits! I saw Mitchell the other day and saw his boo-boo. I told him I have a scar in that same place from the same accident on my bicycle. But I was three when it happened! He's too cute, Heather. ttyl
