A Trip to Grandma and Grandpa's

On Friday afternoon we set out to surprise Kevin's dad with a visit ~ he had retired earlier in the week and we thought we'd celebrate with him for the weekend. Kevin's mom knew we were coming....but I think we successfully surprised Grandpa S. :)

Chloe could hardly believe that they had a play sweeper:



She played with this a lot during the weekend....and all their other cool toys as well :)

Saturday was sunny (but windy!) so we got to hang out at the playground for a little bit. Chloe loved the slides:


And everyone got a chance to swing:


We also got to visit with Aunt Karen, Uncle Bob, and Stephen. Stephen would have made an excellent big brother (he's the little brother in his family) - he was very nice with Chloe, showing her how this tape player worked....although, he was probably a little disappointed that she can't say Stephen yet. We're still practicing though ~ maybe she'll have it down soon and I'll be able to put it on video! :)


We went to church on Sunday and then began our car ride home. We had a great visit and the next time Kevin's parent see us, we'll be a family of 4! :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
