iphone pics and sneakity sneaks.

happy saturday everyone! it's madness at the howell household today.

the movers come monday, so we are working hard to get ready.

laundry, painting the walls white again, packing, scrapbook assignments, list making, cleaning, trying not to panic (j/k- kind of. hahaha).

packers monday, movers tuesday, inspection wednesday, then off to savannah to move into our new house thursday. WHEW!!!

i am 31 weeks pregnant, at the ultrasound this week they told me that cate is 3 lbs 6 oz and miss lucy claire is 3 lbs 9 oz. wow! that means i pretty much have seven pounds of baby in me. ACK! they look great....both head down, healthy, not going anywhere right now...that makes me happy.

 

i dumped my iphone pics and found some favorites i hadn't shared.

 

sadie in a kate gosselin wig picking her nose. um, yes. this is normal around our house.

i don't know what this one is all about, but it makes me laugh REALLY hard. she's edible, i swear she is.

me and my girls:

a moment that made my heart ache a tiny bit:

oh Lordy. attack of the pullups part deux. no comment.

 

and last but not least, some sneaks with the studio calico nov. kit, napa valley. i ordered addon three. the colors are just beautiful this month, but my time is short and i think my gallery will only have three layouts in it. :(

enjoy!!!!

 

 

 

 

I think it's quite clear from these images how much i HATE butterflies. despise them, really. neverever use them on my layouts. eyeroll. gah, i'm so predictable. oh well, they make me happy!!

i hope your weekend is beautiful and filled with whatever makes you happiest.

xxo

Oh my word Steph, your sneaks are gorgeous. The colors=wonderful!!!!!!!!!!
Love the photos! So glad everything's going great...busy (can't imagine how busy!) but going well!!!!!!
Have a super duper fabulous weekend!:)

[Mary Rogers]

love your pics, some made me laugh out loud!!. have a fabulous move - can't wait for you to be able to get settled and wait for the babies arrival. they are both such a fabulous weight steph. My Madison, who was born at 29 weeks, weighed 3 lbs 12 oz...for a single baby!! You are doing such an amazing job job giving these babies all they need.

[Ally]

You look AMAZING! Those babies look like they are growing so well! That is such a happy sight! So excited for you!

[Kaila]

Great job growing those babies!! I'm sure you can't believe they'll be here soon! I have weekly ultrasounds with my pregnancies and the estimated weight measurements have always been right on (comparing what they weighed at birth with the last u/s)

[Erika M]

You look healthy and happy! I love all your fabulous pictures of your family and great sneak peeks!

[Marti Richards]

Stephanie- you look fabulous!! Love your hair, too! So happy to hear that those sweet babies and snug and tight in there. Great pics of your family! Loving your sneaks- I am a bit obsessed with the butterflies, myself- so happy to see more coming our way!
GL with the move- you are in my thoughts and prayers!

[ACompton]

oh my gosh! I love the sneaks! Makes me want to get crafty :) And that picture of Harper and J... so sweet.

[ACompton]

p.s. sooooo glad the babies are healthy!!!

[Christine Campbell]

OH, WHY does Harper look SO OLD these days?? She just does...I don't get it...all of a sudden she doesn't look like a little girl anymore, especially that one with Jimmy - she's lost that 'baby' look to her..which, I'm sure she'd be happy to hear. LOL. And Sadie is always a riot, just love her to pieces. Please send me your new addy when you get to minutes to yourself to think straight. I wish I could help you....

[tammy kay]

Yay! I'm so happy that you are doing doing so well! I love the new pictures of you, especially the one with the glasses! Savannah is soon. I can't wait!

[Stacey]

How exciting - the move! You must have the packing down by now. Do you still have things in boxes from your last move? We moved two years ago, and stuff still is in boxes. I can't wait to see pictures of the new house! It's always so much fun to see how people decorate. I need ideas! Great pictures too! Did you get all your house pictures taken before you pack?

[reyanna]

Gosh, you look fabulous! You are just oh-so pretty. :-)

LOVE the photo of Sadie picking her nose. LOVE it! Almost more than life itself... tee hee. :-p

And you're so right... that photo of J and H totally makes my heart ache. I let out a big "UHHHHHHHH" at the sight of it. Hee hee. It's one of the sweetest photos ever!

Love your sneaks! Wow, you do love butterflies! ;-) Man, I have like... several packs of them, unopened right now. I should think of something to do with them! ;-)

Yay for moving! You're almost there! Woohoo! I'd love to come see you there. I've never been, but I hear it's wonderful. And if you do need an extra body... before or after the babies are born.. you let me know! :-D

[mary t]

[Sarah Pendergrast]

love, love, love the picture of you wearing your glasses! You look so fabulous, and your attitude rocks. Best wishes and positive thoughts for you through your move.

[Sarah Pendergrast]

Oh, and by the way, my husband is blown away by how composed and positive you are as well. You are amazing. Seriously - you managed three layouts on top of everything else??? Where is your cape girl??

[Mariah]

Beautiful picture of J an Harper! It says soooo much. Brought tears to my eyes.

[shabby mama]

good luck with the move..you look amazing!!!
blessings~

[Nikki M]

That blue dress...solid choice looks like it was made for you. Absolutely lovely stuff as always in the SC sneaks. Deep breaths this week and dream of a settled house in Savannah. Your look-ahead to the week makes me feel energized to get off my duff and start getting my to-do list done. Sending more prayers and positive vibes your way. :)

[Meghann]

Great pics! Love you in the black & beige striped shirt. Can't wait to see your layouts, even if it is just three! Take deep breaths this weekend. I know what its like to move often!

[Elizabeth]

[bluemoon]

I wish you all the best with this move. It's never a small or easy job is it? Loved all the cute pics this week, especially the boots! Sadie looks taller or bigger than her age... you will have 2 great helpers when the babies arrive lol. :) I'm lovin your butterfly there, and I haven't been a butterfly person!
Hope you did get your big pink envie mail!!!! Take care! Happy Day :)

[Kate aka stinkydudette]

Sadie is adorable! Pace yourself, Steph. Great sneaks!

[Amy K]

So much sweetness in this post. I pray that your move goes smoothly, and all of you settle into your new home easily. How have the girls been handling all this excitement?
Your sneak peeks look amazing...I cannot wait to see the whole photo with the hands as well.
Take care of yourself, and don't over do it!

Blessings...

[Stephanie]

My heart is smiling when I saw you and when I read your words.

[Ginny C.]

You look fantastic - you have that "mama glow." The pics of the chickies are adorable. Sadie must be a delight - she looks full of fun & mischief. Hope the move goes smoothly. Which add-ons did you buy this month, I need to stay on budget(it is so hard) & am having a hard time deciding? Your sneaks are so colorful - so much more than those on SC. Have a wonderful, busy, exciting week!

[Keshet]

These look gorgeous! Wishing you a happy, healthy and smooth move to Savannah!

[Stephanie Howell]

[micheleomega]

[kate sade]

[emily pitts]

[Ally White]

Great sneaks Staphanie! As usual, i can't wait for my kit to arrive. You are one of the cutest little preggers of ever, and the picture of Sadie with the wig on is hilarious!! Too funny :)

[Holly S]

Oh Lordy, Stephanie...the REAL question is what the heck are you doing with a Kate G. wig??? Have a good, safe move! XOXO

[Jenni Hufford]

you look beautiful and happy in these pics!!! So happy and thrilled everything is going so well!! Praying for you!:) Did you get your hair cut?? looks great! Love the pics of the girls--- and the sneaks, swoon!!!

[Colleen Sheehy]

You look so gorgeous! You are seriously the perfect pregnant Mama! Your hair looks super cute! I love that cut. I'm so happy the twins are doing good. And I'll think some happy thoughts for you on the upcoming move.

[KAD]

I so enjoy reading your blog - sometimes your posts make me laugh out loud! best of luck with the move - everything will fall into place as it should.

[Bea Monforte]

Good luck in your new adventure(s)! This is so exciting(and tireless). Get rest and enjoy your new home, is your new nest! ;)

[Michelle Unruh]

I am sure you have moving down to a fine science!! I am not in the military, tho the first 3.5 years of my life, my father was in the Air Force. Ft. McChord AFB in Tacoma, and 18 mo tour in Korea during the end of Nam, and then Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City.. back to the Twin Cities and still from that point on my parents moved a TON!!! Longest place I ever lived was 7 years (and I am 42!! I have moved almost as many times as my age!!) I have that moving thing down pretty good too!! It is kind of a pain, but then I kind of like the change too.
Your sneaks look beautiful!! As always!!! You make me want to get SC's kits.
I love the pic of Harper with Jimmy... so sweet!!!
I have diaper head photos of Ben when he was much littler!! I am going to have to scrap those!! You have inspired me to do so! :)
Make sure to get some rest in all of that craziness!!

[Debbie Miller]

You made me laugh so hard at a time when I needed it. Stephanie, you and your family look fabulous. Savannah is going to be all the better with your family there, though you'll be missed by your Ft.B. friends.

[Tammy Graves]

I've said it before...you are one of the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen! With all that is going on right now...you look 'faab - u - lous dahling!"
I know it may not be easy to believe, but it is better moving with the babies INSIDE rather than OUTSIDE...I moved with 3 kids and a newborn one time and I think I would much rather have been pregnant than with a newborn...it was soooooo hard and exhausting trying to nurse/recover/pack/take care of 3 other kids too...you look wonderful! Just try to have fun in it all...be in every moment! Knowing you, that house will be set up in no time!!! Blessings on all of you!!!!!

[Nirupama]

I love your color sense, always so dreamy and drool-worthy.
ps. love your belly pics, so beautiful. Wish I had the courage to post mine on my blog too..

[Kimberly Garofolo]

I LOVE all your DARLING photographs...and how you edited them is so fun!
Your sneaks always get me excited to see more too!
Loves,
K
