Due Date Approaching!

Hi there. It's me, the exceedingly pregnant woman.

I cannot wait to have this baby! Between the 100 degree weather, the horrible third-trimester sleep, and the anticipation of meeting her, I am going insane. Truly. So here's a countdown to the due date, and also a little photo documentation to prove (to myself, let's be serious) that she will, in fact, not be inside of me forever. July 19th cannot come fast enough!

13 more days to cook dinner without busting into my freezer meal stash.

7 more days to wash my hair.

6 more piano lessons to teach.

4 more laundry days.

2 more trash days.

2 more big grocery trips.

1 major car repair.

1 more doctor appointment.

Check it out: the due date is now included in the 15-day forecast.

My paper chain. I and I alone am allowed to remove a link each day. When it started, it was about as tall as me. It's very slowly but surely getting shorter!

And the big kahuna: my milk expires after my pregnancy does!

Nate the daredevil

Image
We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Leah's Fifth Birthday

Image
Look at this girl! Five years old and cute, creative, and crazy smart! I cannot believe that kindergarten is on the horizon for her. Whatever will I do without her at home next school year? For Leah's fifth birthday, we pulled out the big guns and had a friend party. It was fun to get it all ready with her and the older kids. She decided to theme it around bunnies, so we made bunny invitations, bunny sugar cookies to frost, and a sweet pin the tail on the bunny game thanks to Trinity's artistry. We fished for candy bunnies, stuck bunny cling-ons on the window,  and the kids put on bunny ears and hunted for their missing carrots. It was a bunny extravaganza, and it went really well. Lots of friends came and it was fun to watch them all playing outside on the tramp and swingset. These guys were awesome party helpers. Addison was in charge of pin the tail, and Bryn was in charge of the fishing game. They rocked it! The next day was Sunday, Leah's actual birthday. Aunt Bri and ...

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
