"Camping" (wink wink)

Dad, the kayak looks pretty awesome, I hope you get some time to play on the lake. The gilrs had fun pretending in the front room. Mom, you're so cute and you're an awesome grandma. I love the picture Mo got of Dave. He's such a softy but you'd never know from the photo. I have a picture of you Catie, but I wanted to ask permission before I put it on.

Just let me know.

Thanks for looking. We had a really good time and I can't wait to do it again next year. Even Dave said that he wold like to do it semi-annually. Good times. Thanks mom and dad for hosting the whole thing the, firepit was awesome. And thanks Gin and Morley for dinner, cobbler, and the water balloons. We didn't even get a mosquito bite or a sunburn. Right On!

24 Weeks

Hey guys! Just the monthly update, I think I can say that I am officially 6 months now and just about in my third trimester. When I say it like that, I feel like I'm in the last stretch, closer and closer to the final prize. Baby Boy weighs over a pound now and is over a foot long, think of an ear of corn. His brain is growing and his taste buds are continuing to develop. A perfect combination for my little doctor/chef. He's a little lean but will start to fill out from here on out. I picked up some foul sugar type water during my last appointment so I can take my gestational diabetes test next visit (woohoo). It's a flavor I haven't tried before, fruit punch, hopefully it tastes better than the lemon-lime, the orange wasn't too bad. Anyway, everything is still going good with him, except for the whole name thing. Dave and I still haven't agreed on anything. I'm still open for suggestions.

New Room? Kind Of...

Don't they look like they are having fun? We obviously took the bunk beds apart. We also took the crib apart and temporarily put it away until we are ready to officially put Mo downstairs. Teagan was so excited about her new bed. So far we have had two nights and one nap in the bed and she has done great. She can't climb into or out of it without help so she's just as confined as she was in the crib. Hee hee. That makes it a little easier for her parents to control bedtimes. I think Morgan likes the situation better too. Anyway... hopefully it won't be too much longer before the bedroom downstairs is finished (fingers crossed).

Graduation!

Just like everyone else around here, we had a graduation to attend this year. Today Morgan had her end-of-year program at pre-school. I was able to get it all on video for Dave who couldn't make it. She even had her own little part. She had to recite Humpty Dumpty and her whole class sang songs about letters, numbers and colors. That's her little friend Ivy sitting next to her. She made a lot of new friends and learned so many new things. She will miss not going during the summer but she will see all of her friends again next fall.

Bring it On

This weekend I spent some time removing wallpaper and then painting Morgan's new room. We went to Home Depot so she could pick out some colors to paint the walls. A sunny yellow and Buzz Lightyear green now brighten things up around here. Next step is to add a couplemore coats of paint, replace the carpet and then start bringing in the bed and dressers. I feel like we are actually getting somewhere now, making progress. It won't be too much longer until we have another little one sharing the room with Teagan.

Happy Anniversary to Us

Morgan decided to go to the zoo to celebrate Dave and my 7th anniversary and we had a lot of fun. We got there as they were opening and it was nice and cool. They had the big birds out and Dave got some really good calendar pictures. Morgan and Teagan liked all of the animals but I think some of their favorites were the monkeys and the black bears. They had lots of baby animals there including some monkeys, a giraffe, penguins, and an orangutan. After the zoo we went to lunch and then mowed the lawn for Dad and Teresa. Woohoo! It has been a great 7 years.

20 Weeks

We hit the 20 week mark which means ultrasound. And we are so excited to finally have a boy! Morgan is really happy about it too but Teag wants nothing to do with it. Oh well, you can't please everybody. I'm looking forward to short, spiky haircuts, blue and green clothing, balls, trucks, and planes. The picture above is of the bottom of his feet. From the ultrasound it looks like he will be a spitting image of his daddy. Long face and long legs. He is about the size of a banana from head to toe. I'm now getting ready to take Tinkerbell off the walls upstairs and make it something a little more gender friendly for both a boy and a girl since Teagan will still be sharing a room with the baby. Probably big bright circles.
