Connor's Visit Part 1

You've seen the video of our Sunday evening with Connor - my parents came down for pizza and playing, and these three had a ball. 





Connor usually comes to our house around holidays, and that doesn't afford too much playing time. His requests on Sunday night before bed were "vaccuming" and "playing downstairs".  Easy peasy! That's what we did on Monday...









Monday night we had dinner and then went to my parents church to play.  Connor got a little over-heated that night, so Tuesday we made sure he kept cool: 

The next popular request was "go to the dancing library"....which means, he wanted to go to a class at our library.  He didn't dance....

but he did have fun at the train table!


Wednesday morning we went to church for my Bible Study, and then later in the evening, Connor was reunited with his Mom!! :) 

We've been talking about doing this since the spring, and Wednesday night it happened: Going to see Mrs. J.'s horse.  We didn't know how it would go, but we kept telling the kids that the horse was "as big as the van" :) 

Chloe and me meeting Strough (not the one we rode)


April meeting Tex (the one we rode)

So, we were brave! Everyone rode the horse!!




and, then everyone rode BY THEMSELVES. The parents couldn't believe it :)  Neither could the kids :)





Also, there were chickens.  Who liked to eat clover.  And little children who don't care how hot it is and run around like crazy ;)


Connor's Visit Part 2 (including birthdays!) coming soon!!

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.
