Older Spring Pictures

Man, it was a long time between posts. I just realized that the last post before today was back in March! So here are a few pictures from this past Spring. The children and I took a road trip to visit my family over Easter. We stopped in Columbia to visit Rob's Aunt Julie. Great trip! Then we had a family trip to Charleston to visit with Rob's family in May. We had lots of fun on the beach and just relaxing together.

I really should keep up with these posts on a more monthly basis. It is hard to backtrack. Yeah, I'll put that on the list of all the other things I really should do. Ha!

PS Click on the pictures to see them in full. Not sure why they are all cut off like that...

Summer fun!

What have we been up to this summer, you may be wondering?

Here are the highlights:

Finally growing hair (Lillian, that is :)

Swimming at the pool almost every day. Robert took swim lessons and learned to swim all by himself with no water wingies. Many thanks to swim lessons from both the pool lifeguards and his Nona, who worked with him and had him swimming independently by the end of her visit!

Entertaining visiting family. We had a visit from Nona. Then we had my sister and her family visit for a few days, and Robert had so much fun with his cousins! He and Jordan became best buddies. And just recently MaBop came to spoil us for a week while Rob was out of town.

Growing a new baby. No, I will not be posting any belly pictures. Advertising my girth on the Internet is just not my style. I am happy to send private pics for any of you who are interested in seeing a human beached whale. The pregnancy itself has been fine, but my overall health has been rough. I've had lots of sinus infections, a bad ear infection that perforated my ear drum and left me deaf in one ear for over a month. I can hear now but there is still ringing in that ear. I've also had several other yucky side effects from the several rounds of antibiotics I've had to take. I guess my immune system has been low for this pregnancy. Maybe it has something to do with the two grubby little germ catchers I am with 15 hours a day :) Hahaha...still wouldn't want any other job right now! We are ALL very excited for New Baby. Can't believe we are going to be a family of FIVE in just a few more weeks!

Obviously not taking enough pictures! I went to go upload a bunch and realized that everyone else has been taking pictures of us all summer, and I do not have them on my ipad. We must take more pictures!

So it's been a fun and fast summer so far. We are preparing for Robert's Spiderman pool party on Monday. Then we are heading up North to spend some family time on the Bay. After that we will just sit tight and wait for New Baby. We still have some organizing and setting up to do, but we have everything we should need, so it should be pretty easy.

Hope every else is having as great a summer as we are! Much love and many blessings!
