Bellies

My sister was in town for several days while we spent the weekend cleaning out my mom's basement. Cleaning out the basement involved mulitple dumpsters, truckloadS to the burn pile and vans full to thrift stores. Amongst all the working we were able to snap a shot of the bellies to document the babies pre-birth. Kara is due Sept.16th with twins and our baby is due on Sept. 8th.

Kindergarten Awards Day

This morning, Hadley and I headed over to school to watch the Awards Program. Drake managed to get all 4 awards that were possible for the Kindergartners to receive. He received the Good Citizenship Award for the 4th quarter and also the Good Citizenship Award for receiving it all 4 quarters throughout the year! He got an award (and free ticket to Six Flags) for getting the recommended number of minutes of reading in for the spring and he received his "diploma" from Kindergarten. This year has been such a blessing for him and us. He has matured more than I could have imagined and has learned an amazing amount of information, not to mention he has also lost a total of FOUR teeth now too!

24 weeks

I can't believe it has already been 4 weeks since my last appointment! We got to start this appointment with another quick peek at the baby since they hadn't been able to get all of the measurements they needed last time. So, we got to see the baby squirming all around. The baby is usually most active for me to be able to feel it in the late evenings. My blood pressure was still looking nice and low and my weight gain jumped up to a total of 11 lbs. I thought this seemed like a lot but when I looked back at my pregnancy with Hadley, I had gained more at this point with her. We didn't get any peeks at the gender still so no hints as to what we are having. We have been working on choosing names, but it still proves to be a difficult task and we haven't settled on any names for either gender yet.

Mom's Day

Once again, a Sunday holiday in a ministry household requires the holiday to look a little different. So, after all four services this morning, we headed to Godfather's Pizza buffet (where they have super great deals on Sunday and we all 4 ate the buffet for $12!). Then, we all took naps, ahh, glorious naps. Then after dinner, we headed to Lincoln to meet up for dessert with the moms. We were able to enjoy the cool spring evening and snap a few pictures as well.
