Our 'new' home, almost..

Before...
After...Now we just need a front porch... :)

Let's see, lot's of play dates, a party and a trip to Bellefontaine filled our week.
All is still going farely well with the pregnancy, just have been told to 'take it easy', so I'm worrying a little more than I was. :(

We played with Ryan at Tuttle Mall

My little model....looking way too old!

Our new addition....


We have another new addition to our family.....a 1976 GMC motorhome. :) A project for Braden, and a camping mobile for all of us. Right now, she needs some love, but she looks very promising. I told Braden I need to join a support group for wives of men with ADHD. :)

Meanwhile, siding is going on the house this week, nice and noisy. Emarie doesn't seem to mind, still taking those lovely 3 hour naps every day.

Em got to go swimming this week with a few of my students, Nana and Jones came to visit on Sunday, and today we went to the park to play with the friends from the sitters. She's been loving painting in her Wonder Pets book too. We went to my school a couple of days to do some work, which Emarie loves.



I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so another ultrasound, will equal more pictures, so check back for those.

Happy 4th of July!!


Fourth of July turned into a busy, fun week!! Thursday, we got to go to red, white and boom, courtesy of our neighbors, Chris, Christine and Ava. Christine works in the heart of boom, so we had prime parking and our own bathroom. :) Emarie loved walking around looking at buildings, the Santa Maria, and of course the fireworks. Earlier Thursday, I lost my wallet at Meijer, which to me was a huge crisis....luckily, a nice lady found it and returned it to our renter at the condo. There are lots of nice people!

Friday, we headed to Deer Creek State Park for a weekend of camping with Abby, Nate and Ryan and my mom. Saturday, we spent some time on the boat and at the beach, then a round of putt-putt. Sunday, was sooo hot and we were sooo burnt, so we spent some time at the lodge and at some shaded playgrounds. Ryan, Emarie and I played in an air conditioned car while everyone packed us up.

There is a new slideshow above of all of our pictures from the weekend.

Busy girls


This week Em and I have been very busy. Tuesday, we went to a baby shower for a fellow teacher and both got to see our friends from school. Thursday, we all went up to Mansfield to meet all of Braden's family for dinner to celebrate Gee's birthday. Friday, we had lunch with our friends (Anne, Kelli, Konnor, Megan and Samantha) and then went to the Groveport Aquatic Center to swim with them all and Joyce and Chloe. It's so nice to have friends that have kids, making everyone happy in one environment. Afterwards we went to the Ontko's for dinner. Saturday, Nana and 'Jones' (my grandma) came to see us and we went to the parade of homes. It was fun going through all of the houses, gathering ideas, and dreaming. Monday, we got to go play with our friends the Ontko tripletsand their new baby brother.


I've had two doctor's appointments (one with my primary OB and one with the perinatologist) this week and everything still looks good. More ultrasound pictures to share (I added them to the slide show), still a boy, which is good. :) I'm glad I had an ultrasound this week as we are right at the same time as when we lost our last pregnancy. So, this ultrasound gave me piece of mind to help me get through the next couple of weeks.

Emarie went with Braden and I to the dr. today. She wanted to give the 'baby a checkup', it's fun for her to see the ultrasound pictures. Afterwards we went to my school to play on the playground with 'Glo-glo' our fabulous sitter and all Em's friends.
