A Big Sister & Brother to Be...


We are very excited to announce that we are having another baby! Little baby "L" is due in early February 2013! Lola is SO excited to have another baby brother, or a sister! (She is really hoping for a sister though!)  She has asked on a regular basis when we can have another baby since the day Logan came home from the hospital. :) To say she loves her brother would be the understatement of the year, and she is most definitely his favorite person as well.  Lola is 3 1/2 and Logan just turned 1 this month.  The age gap this time around will be about half of what Lola and Logan's is, I am looking forward to experiencing something new! 


I really wanted to do something fun with these two cuties as a way to reveal it to the "world" aka Facebook! :) I have seen these chalkboard signs used for a lot of things these days and think it is so cute! Knowing I would never find what I had dreamed up, I decided to just look for a unique and fun frame that I could turn into what I wanted! Ten stores later, I found it! (Thank you Target!) I found this mirror and instantly loved the shape! It was perfect! A little dis-assembly and spray paint and we were in business.  I sprayed the frame white, and the mirror portion with the chalkboard paint.  It was such a quick and easy process.  

Here is the original mirror before its makeover:


In hindsight, it may have been significantly easier to use a different product besides chalk, as I forgot to take into consideration the tiny hands that would be holding this sign and how easily it smudges into a complete disaster. :/ Thankfully it still worked out!

Who wants to be a big brother? This guy! :)


 Logan, how do you feel about not being the baby anymore?


We sure love these two, and are looking so forward to meeting baby L # 3! :)
