...we really, really do.As the offers of help keep rolling in, we can't help but be overwhelmed - but in such a fantastically, wonderful way. If we haven't answered you directly, we will. Just hang tight. There are a few things we'd love for you to help the family, if you're able.

Before I get too far into Home Reno 101, today marks a HUGE milestone. I'm officially 36 weeks! I think that's reason enough to celebrate with two bowls of ice cream tonight, don't you? No complaints here. You'll get the full baby report on Thursday.Back to your regularly scheduled blog post for today...Well, as you can see, nesting is in full effect. You (and my husband) will be happy to know we're finally done...for now. I have some other projects ...

Fun times. We are tha-rilled to have him home and even more excited that his unit will be stationed at Camp Mabry here in Austin.Who knew he could draw such a crowd over the Labor Day weekend?
