disney family vacation: hollywood studios

a few weeks ago, my family flew to orlando for a disney adventure. we had been a time or two in the past, but this was bub-hub's first time to experience mickey-mania.  it was a week full of yummy food, fun adventures and lots and lots of walking. :)

we spent our first day at hollywood studios.  what a great place to start a disney vacation!

one of my favorite parts of park is definitely the pixar section. i love me some toy story and monsters university! i also really love getting to see all of fun behind-the-scenes-movie-magic stuff. who knew you could travel from san francisco to new york city in just a quick walk down the block?

we also explored the "honey i shrunk the kids" playground. hence the reason there is a picture of bub-hub and i holding on to a dog's giant nose.

after a great day of exploring and ride-riding, we ended our day with fantasmic. it's amazing how creative those disney folks can be with lights and water. so beautiful!

even though we started our day with a 6 am drive to the airport, our vacation adrenaline kept us going strong all day!

walking log: 7.2 miles
favorite moment: fantasmic!

fifteen weeks

baby chastain is 15 weeks old and growing strong!

each tuesday, the little baby center update pops up on my phone, and get to read how baby is growing, what it's doing, and baby becomes a little more real.

this week, baby is the size of an apple!
since honey crisp apples are my favorite, and this is my favorite baby, i'm choosing to believe baby is the size of a honey crisp apple.
i can see bub-hub rolling his eyes at my logic as i type…

happy news to start off the new year!

it's the second week of 2014 and so far, it's been pretty great in the chastain household. and it's about to get even better because we finally get to share an exciting piece of news!

recently bub-hub and i found out that we are expecting our first baby!
yayyyyyyyy!!!!!

thrilled doesn't even begin to describe our excitement. looking back at how the Lord has provided for us over the first year and a half of our marriage, we have no doubt that his timing is perfect, that he is sovereign and that he will prepare us for this exciting adventure.

i've been itching to share our new years card with you all, and here it is!

thanks so much for the love and support you all have shown us over the years and we can't wait to continue to share our adventures with you!
