Baby Sister TV Show

Charlotte joined me this morning for one last ultra sound, or as Charlotte calls it, "the baby sister tv show". She is looking great! She already weighs about the same that Charlotte did when she was born! We have 5 weeks from yesterday until her scheduled delivery date, so she should be a pretty normal sized baby! Amazing! We can't wait to meet her!

Daffodil Art

Charlotte surprised me last week by bringing me this drawing. She had been sitting in the copy room of my office and the paper daffodil below was taped to the bulletin board near the desk where she sat coloring. I think this is the very first time, I have seen her "art" actually look like something! I was amazed! Pretty good, right?!

Pretty Little Girl!

Double Baby Bumps

We are getting closer! Only 40 days left until baby sister gets here!

Hey Girl! It's Summer!

This is how we found Charlotte yesterday heading outside to play... We finally have been blessed with some actual summer weather- but living in Western Washingtn it is easy to become confused about the seasons and the weather!

Daddy & the Zoo

Recently I have been having some significant hip area pain due to my growing belly. The physical therapist recommended stretches, a support belt, and basically taking it easy. So Daddy has been taking Charlotte for little trips to the zoo with our zoo pass. Although I feel a little left out sometimes... it is nice to know that they are getting some Daddy-Daughter bonding time!

5 Years

When you get married, you look ahead and think that your 5 year anniversary is so far away, but yet at the time, you can hardly imagine all the things that you will share over those quick 5 years! We have already shared in many ups and downs- funfilled and lovely vacations- wordly travel- purchasing our first home- bringing home our first baby and another on the way...! We thought we would for sure spend our "big" 5 year wedding anniversary back in Puerto Vallarta where we honeymooned- instead we went to dinner on the Ruston waterfront and watched a movie in bed! We didn't have any gifts to exchange (being that we are on a tight budget with baby on the way), but as we sat at dinner, we looked up the 5th wedding anniversary gift- wood. Hmmmm... well, we actually came up with something to buy together to celebrate our 5th year anniversary that is made of wood- and we really will use it! We drove to Lowes to look for it, but realized we could not fit it in our car. We are still waiting for a good day to borrow a truck and go pick it up.
