Our camera broke at least a month ago & I have been DYING to get a new one & update our blog!!! We finally got a new one & I snapped a few quick pics. I didn't want this picture to be first, but I guess I loaded them backward! Oh, well- I hate pics of me, but it's fun to look back on your pregnancy & see how BIG you get!!! I feel big, but I actually measured small this last appointment. Hopefully she's just a petite girl & everything's fine. She looks perfect on the ultrasound & we think she will be! She's a real kicker, but I love feeling her so much! We've already started working on her nursery because the room was empty. It's been so fun recovering chairs from trucks to flowers & thinking pink! The boys are into it too- Noah always picks out girl clothes whenever we're shopping & says "our baby would love this" & all the boys go "ohhhh, cute!" It's hilarious! We are all getting excited to meet her (she needs a name!)
This is Sam & my cousin Katie's little girl, Addison, watching 4th of July fireworks. It was so cute because Sam was Addie's shadow all night! We had a fun party at my Aunt Denise's & earlier that day a bbq at Len's parents. Len's brother Joe & his family were in town from San Diego too. We got to meet their new baby & catch up with them. It was so fun- the kids loved every minute of it!
This is Mack, aka "little bono" watching our U2 Elevation Live from Boston DVD & playing his guitar along with the music!!! It's his new favorite thing to do with Daddy. He's always had a hard time staying still whenever music is playing, so we're trying to encourage his natural musical inclination! He's really got rhythm! He comes home from his summer school preschool & church nursery singing songs too. It's so cute! :) Len sees a future rock star & I see a future Juliard graduate! Haha! Mack's such a funny kid- we just can't get enough of his bigger than life personality!
This was the first picture I took with our new camera just to try it out & I kept it because I think Noah looks like his cousin Jackson! Noah's so cute & has such a sweet personality! The other day all the kids were showing me their muscles after lunch & Noah said "Wow- Sam & Mack really are getting muscles like me. Now everyone in our family has big muscles..except you Mom!" He was serious too! He's in summer school 1/2 day & begs to stay all day because the all day kids bring lunch boxes & have 2 recesses! So, we bought him a lunch box & pack an after school snack in it! He has to keep busy all the time- he is a non stop action kid! He can't wait for 1st grade to start!
Finally, Sam the ham! He is also officially potty trained now too! Yeah! He's so stubborn that he just wouldn't do it until he really wanted it. School was the trick for him. He loves school & started going potty everytime since the 1st day of school. He tells me everyday "I'm growing up Mom!" & he's right! It's fun to watch them grow up, but I'm going to miss these days when they're gone too.
