Birthdays

Over the weekend we had lots of birthdays in our family:

Grandma S.' birthday ~ although you can't see her face in this picture, I love that Chloe is smiling at her. It just shows you how much Chloe loves her!

Mimi's birthday ~ in this picture, I think Mimi was singing a song, or something, and Chloe was loving every minute of it :)


Mommom's 80th birthday was on Monday, but on Sunday we had a family get together to celebrate this momentous number!


My uncle deep fried a turkey (for those of you who have never had this, you are really missing out! It's great!). Here is the before:

Going into the fryer:

After! Look at that delicious bird!


Here are all the girls (Michelle, Laura, Mommom, Chloe, Alison, Grandma B.)

Chloe had a great time! Here she is hanging out with her Aunts:

Grandpa B. was showing her how the pinwheel works:


She was a happy girl all afternoon!


We are thankful for all these wonderful women that Chloe has in her life ~ great examples of Christian women that she can look up to as she gets older. We hope you had terrific birthdays!!!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
