just the 3 of us...1 more day...

We are the Barber "3" for just one more day... :) SO exciting and nerve-racking at the same time... I am 39 weeks pregnant today...and will be a mommy of 2 SO soon!

God has produced the first big snowstorm of the winter to help us celebrate - ha ha! We are in a blizzard warning until tomorrow morning...VERY cold here, high winds, rain/ice earlier today, and now blowing snow everywhere. G & G Petersen and Grandma Barber are planning on coming to Ames tomorrow afternoon. Of course, we hope they can make it...but Josh and I both said tonight, it is NOT WORTH IT to have 3 of our parents all in a car together in bad weather. We would much rather they arrive SAFELY later on Monday to meet their new grand-baby. :) I guess only time will tell...

I think Keatin has sensed all week that something is about to change. We have talked about the new baby A LOT this week, and she keeps saying how "cited" (excited) she is. :)

Today, we joined Becca, Lyle, and Jack at an event at their church...live nativity, Christmas crafts, musical puppets for kids, and even cookie decorating. Keatin enjoyed it all and it was really nice to hang out with such good friends, celebrating the season and all we have to be thankful for. :) Enjoy the pics!

Keatin was all excited to see the animals at the live nativity...but of course, was scared once she got too close...go figure!

Josh, Keatin, Jack, and Lyle...and a bunny. :)

Decorating cookies after lunch...they were yummy!
