Lost Count of What Annual We are On


We love camping with our dear friends and this year's trip proved why we kept camping with toddlers - now everyone is out of diapers and no naps were taken!


Saturday morning breakfast entertainment (but it only lasted for 2 songs because we told them it was against the rules of camping). How many little faces around one tiny little phone! :)





The big girls were working hard during the weekend on their Fairy Village. It turned out really well and the details were sweet.



This boy didn't sit still much. He was riding, scooting, digging in the dirt. He loved every minute.



Saturday afternoon we went on the longest-two-mile-hike.  Ha! Even to the adults it felt like a really long 2 mile trail, but we survived!! Here are the eager hikers - we should have taken an after picture ;)





Who doesn't bring a ukulele camping?! We had musical accompaniment to our Sunday service. Then the older kids planned "Sunday School" in the back of the truck for the "preschool class".  Chloe and Leah taught a lesson on Noah's Ark. Avery and April prepared a snack.  There was even a bathroom break and a game!


We can't wait for the next annual trip! :)

Best camping trip yet!!! We loved every minute. Especially the minutes when I watched my kids go to the bath house by themselves.

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.
