Cousin Playdate

We ventured to the grandparents on friday evening for a fun filled weekend with Lucas' cousins!

My brother, his wife, and two children were visiting from Florida. We saw them in Decemeber when Lucas and I went there but before that it was December 2007.

Sydney is 3 and Declan is 17 months.....they had a great time! We only had 3 of the 5 grandkids there but it was still great...

Enjoy the pictures...

Half of August!

Can you believe August is already half over???

August is bringing lots of new things and challenges for us. I have started working part time at Sylvan Learning Center as a tutor for Academic Reading and Academic Math. I have also beening working on the Creative/Service Projects Steering Team chair for my local MOPS group. John has already started back at school for his 3rd year of dental school!!!! 2 down and 2 to go....we are so proud of him and all that he as accomplished thus far. He has started seeing patients on a regular basis with classes in between. Lucas well he is 2 1/2!! He is going through a phase of waking up every few hours during the night because he needs covered, he can't find blanket, he needs to potty, he needs a drink.....it is crazy the stuff he needs at 3AM.

I am officially 14 weeks along and things are going well. I had all my labs done a week ago and things look great except for Vitamin D so I am taking a Vitamin D3 daily. We should be fiinding out in 6 weeks or so if we have a little girl or boy....

We are getting ready to head to the grandparents for the weekend. My brother and his family are visiting from Florida...it will be the first time we are all together since Dec 2007, be sure to watch for pictures!!

Little Man got his first bicycle!! He can ride it really well on the school parking lot up the street, he is apprehensive about riding it in the street. He is growing up!!!

I think that is all I have for now.....
