Things have been a little busy in the Bunch household lately. We finished up our Spring Cousins' Closet Sale last weekend with about 100 consignors this time. We're tired, but it's always a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone that helped- Sarah and I could never have done it without you! Roy and Jo had Jack for three days, Jen and Naomi came for both sale days, Mom watched Ethan and Abby...bundled hangers...sorted donated items..everything under the sun, Gabrielle came to watch Ethan and Abby on Saturday, Kris was our point person at BCC who helped us organize everything, Leslie and Bob came early and late Saturday to help, Katie came Saturday to help out, Penny used her fast fingers to help checkout and then even stayed to clean, Eric and Mike put up signs..made racks...checked people out...helped multiple moms carry heavy items out...and really made everything possible, and so many others! Thanks you all! Here is how it all looked before the shoppers came:




On another note- we were able to finally greet little Wyatt Paul Marr that same weekend. What a cutie pie! Can't wait to hold him again.




And finally- the Bunch family is growing! We have Bunch baby #2 due to come Dec. 17...just before Jack's second birthday on the 20th. It will be another busy Christmas season, and we can't wait! We had our first ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and brought Jack along. I'll never forget- watching Mike holding Jack pointing at the screen saying, "that's the baby" and thinking back on how we were watching Jack on that screen not long ago. We knew we loved him from the start, but we had no idea how much he would capture our hearts...what a miracle that we get to experience all of that again.

Jack has been pretty cute since then...every time he sees the ultrasound printed pics he points and says, "baby." Oh how his life will change come December and we predict a great big brother in him.

FYI...Mike was signed is as me on that last comment...I don't typically refer to myself as a hot mama..just in case you were wondering. :)

Oh, you ARE a hot mama! The excitement for baby #2 is slightly different, almost more intense (even though you don't have as much time to meditate on it) because you already know firsthand how outrageously a little person from your tummy can capture your heart! I can't wait to meet him/her. :)

I said congrats on Becky's FB, but congrats to you Mike as well :) And Becky you're absolutely right, each time it is more real and I felt more exciting because you look at your 'big' baby and remember being pregnant with them, pretty soon you'll be looking at the little one on the inside, only they'll be the big one, and feel the same thing :) It just keeps getting sweeter!

And I really wish I lived close enough to go to the consignment sale! Those sales are a little too crazy here for me...Texans are big on their baby stuff!

You guys can sure make pretty babies! So happy for your growing family! Parenting the second time around is so much better.

Good work with your sale. I would be interested to know roughly what percentage of the items were sold.

Also, congrats (again) on another kid. We are very excited to see the four-person Bunch family!
