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. ;)

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...
