Getting Closer!

Ready for God's gift to arrive!
G-Mom & G-Dad came for a quick visit

Mommy's & my toe nails are ready for the baby to come too.

I have everything ready for the baby to arrive!

GO KU! (Makes Daddy & Papaw Happy)

As the final preparations take place this week for the arrival of Baby Briscoe, Kate has enjoyed getting everything ready. From the car seat to the baby swing, Kate has loved "practicing" on her dolls and barney. The home stretch has arrived and we are hoping for an early arrival this week. Thanks to each of you for all your prayers...a busy week ahead...we hope! Hope Daddy can make the race!

Getting Ready


Ready for Baby Sister to arrive!

It was great to see David & Marisha

We went to see Daddy at a Grace baseball game

Take me out to the ball game!

No better fun than getting dirty!

As the days get closer to the "Due Date" Kate has enjoyed helping Mom and Dad get things ready around the house and in the yard. She has been good at folding laundry, cleaning rooms, and helping dad clean up the yard.

She is quick to tell everyone that her baby sister is still in Mommy's tummy. All the recent visits to the Doctors office have been good and baby sister is still set to arrive on May 31st. We are all hoping for an early arrival so that Daddy can go to the Indy 500 with Grandpa Cole. We will keep you posted as we get closer. We had a great evening visiting with David & Marisha Pressley earlier this week. Marisha is expecting and due in July. It was great to see our close friends, we had a wonderful time of fellowship together. Thanks to everyone for their prayers as briscoe baby #2 gets closer to arriving. Stay Tuned...

Happy Mother's Day!

Kate had a wonderful Sunday with Mom! We went to church and then to brunch at Ruby Tuesday's. Mom wanted nothing more than to take it easy and have a restful afternoon! Kate got Mommy a card to get her nails done before the baby arrives the end of May.

We thank Mommy for all she does for our family! We love you Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

Thank You Jesus for Easter!
Kate had a wonderful weekend in Indy with G-Mom & G-Dad Toombs for Easter! Kate enjoyed coloring eggs with G-Mom and taking a trip to the Trader's Point Creamery to see the cows and other animals. We had a wonderful Sunday celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus and Kate loved sunday school class. She wore her new pink easter dress that Grammy Briscoe bought for her in Virginia. After Church we had lunch with all the family and Kate enjoyed hunting for eggs with all her cousins! We then went over and saw grandma Cole and Aunt Abbie who just got back from Florida for spring break.

As the sermon shared this morning we are to live our lives as living testimonies to share about the Lord! What a blessing as a parent to know that we have the opportunity to impact the lives of our children everyday about what God has done for all of us! We pray you all had a blessed day! Christ has risen!!

Papaw and Grammy Visit from Virginia


So fun to be with Grammy & Papaw this week

Papaw thanks for my new bat and ball
We had fun at the OCC

Enough basketball time to go home

thanks for such a fun weekend Grammy and Papaw!

It was great to have Grammy and Papaw visit from Virginia for the NCCAA Basketball Championship that Daddy hosted at Grace this past week. Kate was able to spend lots of time with Grammy and Papaw shopping and playing games at home. Kate missed her nap each day and will play catch up this week. She loved all the Grammy Gummies she ate and she enjoyed playing baseball with Papaw inside! Kate took Grammy and Papaw to Ft. Wayne on Sunday for lunch and to go shopping. It was wonderful to have them both here and we are so thankful for the wonderful memories we made. Thank you Grammy & Papaw for a wonderful weekend!! Love you, Kate

It was fun to see Grandpa, Grandma, & Aunt Abbie!

Kate has been busy and is very excited for spring to arrive! She has been enjoying swim class every Monday with Mom and loves her Bible study class every Wednesday. Kate has enjoyed G-Mom and G-Dad, as well as, Grandma and Grandpa Cole and Aunt Abbie coming up to visit Warsaw the past few weeks. March Madness means busy time for Daddy as Grace College hosts the women's NCCAA national basketball championship. Grammy and Papaw Briscoe will be coming up to visit next week during the tournament. Kate continues to get used to a "baby sister" coming home this summer. Mommy continues to feel good, we had our latest check up yesterday and all is well! Mom scheduled due date is still May 31st! Love you all, hope you enjoy March Madness!

Kate is going to have a baby sister!

Kate is proud to announce that her mommy is going to have a healthy baby sister! She is very excited and graciously gave up her crib for the new baby and has spent this week getting used to her big girl bed. We explained in great length the first night in her big bed that she was not to get out of her bed without mommy or daddy helping her out. We also told her that if she needed something, she needed to call for us and we could get it for her. Just a few minutes after prayer and songs, we left her room and she started yelling,"Mommy, daddy, I need soooomethiiiiing!" We only had to go in 6 times the first night!! She has obeyed and stayed in her bed through the night and waits for us to get her in the morning by yelling,"Mommy, daddy, I'm awwwwwaaaake!"

Kate is also potty trained now. Yippeee for mom and dad! She still uses diapers at night, but wakes up dry in the morning! We are so proud of her and all the milestones she has conqeured over the last few months. She truly is becoming a big girl and can't wait to help with her new baby sister.

We do need ideas for girl names! So, if you have one, please leave a comment!! Thanks!
