Kentucky!

We crossed a state off the list of "never been" two weekends ago when we went to visit some college friends.  Liz and Jeff have been so kind in letting us cancel on them (twice!) and were fantastic hosts!!

Saturday morning we went on a hike through the woods, which ended at the equine program stables for the college that Liz works for. 



Fencing like this can be seen everywhere in Kentucky!


The swings were horses :)











After our hike, we stopped in at Asbury University where Liz teaches.  They have a big theater/movie/prop collection there (sent in from students who went on to help produce these films).  Here is our Peter by King Peter from the Chronicles of Narnia.



Jeff and Kevin took the big kids to a splash park/pool on Saturday afternoon.  Liz and I stayed behind with the napping boys, chatting over coffee.  Sunday morning we went to church and then had a picnic lunch before getting back on the road.


Thanks for the wonderful visit!!  Chloe can't believe it will be next summer before we might see you again -- come up here anytime! :)



Monday morning we hit the ground running.....with potty training.  In my attempts to keep Peter in one area, I set up the tent.   You know you've got two older sisters when you have to use a princess tent for your truck-garage. ;)

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.
