Swimming with Daddy

We finally got our pool out and ready to go - a very good thing, since it has been so hot the last couple of weeks!

The kids are loving the pool this summer, and it is the first thing they ask to do when they wake up in the morning. A few photos...

Crazy Busy...

Just a quick update - we have been running non-stop for the past week. We have had something going on every day, usually during the day, then we are busy in the evenings too - play groups, birthday parties, t-ball, bible study, dinner with friends, pool party... I am exhausted, and today I declined a play date invitation just because we needed a break!

I am starting to feel a bit better. The nausea is still there, but it doesn't seem to be bothering me all day like it was before. My 12 week OB appointment is next week so I am praying for healthy growth and a strong heartbeat! I feel huge already - I am well into my maternity clothes, even though I have actually lost 4 pounds (having no appetite will do that to you!).

And it is super hot outside - going out there now to fill up our little plastic pool in the driveway for the kids to play!

Finally, a couple of random pictures - the first is our garden which has grown tremendously and we should have fresh veggies very soon! The second one is our pretty backyard and back porch - everything looks so nice and green and my flowers and plants are doing well! Happy summer!

Happy Summer

We had a great weekend - lots of swimming in the kiddie pool, running in the sprinkler, and eating popcicles. I even got to go shopping by myself for a few hours on Sunday!
Ray posted a great video of the kids in the pool - go and watch if you haven't already!

Swimming in March

It has been exceptionally warm here the past week or so, and since it is now in the mid 80's, I got Emmy's pool out. She was very excited because she got to wear her new Nemo swimsuit that I got at Tot Trade.

And, I am probably the only crazy person here who hasn't turned the AC on yet - I just can't... it's only March! It will be on all summer, and I just hate to do it now. We will just have to sweat it out...
Besides, I think that is is supposed to cool off tomorrow.
