Thank you everyone for your sweet comments and prayers. We are crazy excited for this little one to join our family. Baby is due at the end of February, so we have just under 6 months to go 🙂

I am feeling great….now that I am happily living in second trimester bliss. As for my first trimester? One word- yuck. I was SO exhausted and SO nauseous all the time that I wasn’t sure we’d survive. But survive we did and now I can honestly say I feel wonderful.

We’ve had such a wonderful week away. We relaxed, watched movies, swam, explored, read and played games. The weather wasn’t the best (it rained at some point every single day) but we still managed to have a great time. Can I just say again how much I love Chris’ parents?! I do. They are two of my most favorite people. I am so humbled by them. They are so good to us and especially to our munchkins.
We had the best week vacationing with them.

Oh, I have so much to tell you! I have a half dozen blog posts swirling around my head and I can’t wait to share them all with you, but sadly the laundry room in beckoning me and just can’t be ignored…..

But before I go, I just want to say that my sister and her fiance rock. THEY ROCK!
While we were away we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and this is what we came home to:

to
escape the everyday
bbq
splash in the pool
hike
build sandcastles
play cards
suntan
explore
roast marshmallows
read
eat ice cream
and
RELAX.
See ya in a week!

Summer is so lovely.
It’s a time to slow down.
Reconnect as a family.
Enjoy one another.
Play.
Lounge.
Rest.

And we have been doing all of this.
Here is a little of what we’ve been up to so far this summer!
