Mother's Day

Lovin summertime!

Our little monkey, she climbs everything!

Father's Day

Mason was actually excited about swimming lessons this year.  Check out that smile!  He has been ALL about the water since this week of learning with Miss Kristen!

For our 8th anniversary we got to go to a Tigers game and sit in the 7th row, right behind home plate.  SO COOL!

For some reason, Mason's bed is the place to hang out.

Lucas' first steps

Mason and Tara enjoy a s'more together.  They are both growing up too fast!

All snuggly after some time in the water together.

4th of July

Just building my file of blackmail material. ;)

This is a group of my college girlfriends that got together a weekend in July.  They came from northern MI, MD, SC, IN and CA to be together for 2 days.  We had such a nice time!

A boy never wants to be too far from his tractor, you know!

Our beloved Miss Cheryl and dear friend Elli.  The kids were so blessed to be cared for by this amazing woman while I went to work this past school year.

Having fun at Lake MI with the water launcher!

Lucas' first attempt at sweet corn. :)

Lovin' on daddy with lots of zerberts. :)

36 weeks and counting!  What will the next month bring?  More pink or more blue? 

Week 35

Our week was uneventful at the doctor's office. :)  I'm still up and down in the weight department, but a little bit ahead of where I was last week at this time.  After 2 appointments this week, the non-stress tests (NSTs) looked good as well as baby's fluid levels.  This routine continues until August 16, when we'll have another weight check for baby to determine if it needs to be delivered or not. 

As far as baby preparation goes, I had the opportunity to go shopping on Tuesday and brought home 2 outfits to bring to the hospital to bring the baby home in.  One is pink, one is blue and I'm getting so anxious to know what this little one will be wearing!  I did buy preemie size outfits and they are just precious, like little doll clothes.  Tony & I have decided on a girl name, but the boy name remains in deliberation yet.  The crib is set up in Mason's room and he is thrilled about it!  I hope he remains that excited when there is a squeaky, squawky baby in it. :)
