Things are changing...

Hey everybody,
the brief updates are that we didn't feel at peace with moving into the place we were going to so we are back to staying with my parents and still looking around. It is a weird place to be, to be married, baby on the way and living with your parents getting closer to the date that your son might be living in your old bedroom. Good thing its bright blue! But we are just so thankful to have a place to stay, and that we get along great with my parents. So keep praying for us on the house search that our ears and hearts would be open to the wisdom of the Lord!

On the baby front Cade is a wild man! I don't know what he does in my belly but last week he kicked for literally 24 hours straight. Sometimes i think he is just spazzing and flinging his body all over the place. Nick thinks maybe he is practicing riding a bike. Who knows. But he is doing well and I'm a whimp because my body is already feeling the added weight. So pray for stamina for me!

We love you all and we will post some pics from thanksgiving later in the week!

6 Months!





Hey everyone,
Believe it or not we have hit the 6 month mark. I have officially gained 7 pounds! Cade is doing great, he is long and skinny like his daddy. At 5 months he was 2 inches longer than the average, know wonder i feel like he can kick from my ribs to my colon. I have been feeling pretty good which has been a huge blessing. I'm including my 6 month belly shot and it is getting big. I have totally started getting the back pains and leg cramps which is such a delight. (that was sarcasm in case you couldn't tell). But it is so cool being able to see my stomach jump as he kicks around in there, even when it is 2 in the morning. Cade is really active, i read something that said your baby should sleep 12-14 hours a day during this point but I don't think Cade knows that. We are getting so excited for the little guy to come in a few months and can't believe how fast it is going by.
A bunch of people have been asking where we are registered and so i put links on the side of the blog to our registries. The easiest way is to follow the link and then type in my first and last name to find the registry.
Another cool thing is that the Lord has blessed us with a cool place to stay. We have found a chance to oversee a complex and in exchange we get to stay in a fully furnished place which is a huge blessing since all our stuff got stolen and the insurance didn't cover everything. So we can replace the few things we will need and get the stuff needed for cade's room and then the rest is already there. We feel so blessed to have this transitionary place so that we don't have to frantically look for somewhere to buy and furnish fully before Cade is born. So thank the Lord for that. We will probably move in in December some time. So thank you so much for all of you guys that have been praying!!
Love you guys and hope you are all doing well!!
-Nick, Lindsey and Cade

We hung out with paul and alana for halloween! So fun!



These are my parents dogs Merty and Harry! Harry was a ghost and Merty was a Bee for Halloween! Pretty funny!


Nick was blowing leaves so we thought we'd pose for a picture!
