Visit to Mimi & Poppop's

We got to visit with Mimi and Poppop this past weekend! We started off the weekend with a visit from Mrs. Fay - and April wanted to show her shades off while Mrs. Fay was there :)


Chloe taught her about her computer:

and we got this picture of the two together - Can you see the love between them? :)


I think the other highlight of the trip (besides Mimi's wonderful cooking) was a trip to a local playground & seeing the ducks. I was back at the house to watch over April while she was napping (really hard work!) and Mimi stayed back too (to do a hard job of cooking a turkey!) so it was just Dad, Poppop, and Chloe.

Here she is with the ducks!

oh, I didn't mention that she had NO FEAR of these ducks? I mean, seriously, no fear. They come up to her waist and here she is casually feeding one FROM HER HAND.

After the bread, she moved on to dried corn kernels - I don't know who was more excited, the ducks or Chloe! :)

Meanwhile, back at home, April was teaching Uncle Sandy how to crawl ;)

And, Auntie Kristen stopped in on Saturday for a quick hello (and a left-over plate!).


Overall, it was a wonderful trip.....and I realize I haven't even posted a picture of the hosts! Thank you for a great visit Mimi and Poppop!!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

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.
