Mom Visits

Here are just a couple pictures from Mom's visit earlier this month. We walked to the Woodlawn Sunergos a few times (as is my pattern :) and we also visited Bernheim Forest on one of the warmer days, but it was still too chilly for any bugs. Eli was disappointed, but there were some pretty amazing icicles!

Stream boots, bug net, and snow... poor Eli. Mom stayed in the van with Otto because neither of them like the cold.... they did venture out and join us for the last few minutes. The weather that day was pretty warm (60's) but it was still quite chilly in the forest. We didn't stay long - then we were off to Havanah Rumba for lunch! Yum.

Yawning... I guess icicles are pretty boring compared to snakes and waterbugs.

The music in the background was from a show we were watching... it seems to fit though.

Otto loves to look at the baby belly and point and talk about his baby brother. He is such a sweetie! Eli grabbed the camera and took these pictures, I am glad he did, it was a special moment for me and Otto.

Tim and Stephanie Get Married!!!

We were so excited to celebrate Tim and Stephanie's special wedding day and all the fun festivities with them. Here are just a couple pictures. I didn't get half as many as I wished I had but I am thankful I did snap a few here and there.

Stephanie trying on her dress - this was her last fitting. Soooo beautiful!

At the rehearsal dinner.

Cheers!!!!! There were a lot of toasts to them... we are all getting a little low on sparklie here.

The first dance!

Brian and I had some fun in the photo booth at the reception.

Eli joined us in this one. Otto was home sick.... booooo! He had the pukes, but a very sweet, selfless friend was there to care for him....

32 Weeks

Here is a more upright shot of this huge belly. I did ask my midwife if he seems bigger than he should and she said no. I guess I just feel really big this time. Anyhoo, I also have a short video of the baby stretching. This really is such a special time and blessing for me, so I have been trying to capture a bit here and there of videos like this one. The baby kicks out with his foot and pushes his back on my other side (this does feel quite dangerous when I am driving -aaahhh!) I think he is really trying to give himself another inch or two.... Poor guy, it is only going to get tighter in there!

baby stretching... yikes! from capture box on Vimeo.
