Baby #6 is...

 
 
The big announcement...
We had an ultrasound done a couple weeks ago, and found out what our sweet newest blessing is.
 
 This is one of my favorite hymns.
Love the fall pic behind it.

 Before we announce our big news, I want to share some recent pics of our other sweet blessings.
He's our oldest, and growing to fast.
We missed watching him play football this year.
He broke his right hand in practice, and was out the rest of the season.
#1

 
These two are 18 months apart, and enjoyed their season.
The older one is on the right.
#2 and #3...

 
Here's our first sweet baby girl...
She's every bit girl too.
#4
 
And our baby boy...
There's 18 months between these two.
#5
 
AND...IT'S A GIRL!!
Another sweet little girl.
#6

 
We're so thankful for our children's health, and that all looks well with this pregnancy.
The weather has finally changed, and cooler are temps are here to stay.
 
 
Many blessings,
from our thrifty nest to yours

15 weeks.

Here I am with baby #6 and 15 weeks down...
I'm even wearing some "skinny" maternity jeans, which I think is hilarious. 
A week from Mon. we'll find out what this little blessing is.
Our count right now is 4 boys, and 1 girl...
 
 I still hope to write a post about our big farmhouse porch.
The table behind me my husband built along with the bench...


 
Rockin the bump!!
God is Good!!
 
Blessings from our nest to yours,

Just a few updated pics of Thrifty Nest...

We have three boys playing football the fall,  should be exciting,  and look forward to watching them.

This year we have an 8th grader, 4th grader, 3rd grader, and preschooler... They are all growing to fast!  Our 14 year old son got his learner's permit.  The state we live in allows 14 with drivers Ed.






Be blessed,  and stay tunes for some exciting news.  Can ya guess what it may be?  

Til next time,

PB inspired buffet.

We've recently built a farm house table and a bench. 
I'm also in the process of redoing some Queen Ann chairs...post to come. :)

We had this piece of furniture in our tv room.  I used it as an entertainment center/toy storage.  I hadn't done anything with it.  It was a maple color with brass hardware.
I was about to just sell it, when I remembered seeing a cute black buffet of course in Pottery Barn.

Naturally I got out the black spray paint and started the drab to fab.



Please over look the quality of the pictures.  I can't find my camera, these are taken with my phone.

I had everything here already I used on the buffet.  
I'm so pleased with how it turned out.
It also pulls in the bench we painted black at our large farm house.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week.

From our home to yours,
Our Thrifty Nest of 7

I'm linking up to these fabulous parties... That's What Che Said
