I'm Still Here

It was a long couple of months while I was sick but we did manage to do some fun things. 

We went to Florida and finally took the kiddos to Disney.


We much preferred the beach at Jekyll Island.



We helped and ran in our first Warathon race for our school track fundraiser.  And Nate came in second, beat only by Tessa!


Ross and I went on a school field trip to Williamsburg.




We had our FIRST ultrasound EVER due to policy changes with our midwives.  It was quite an experience!  Look at that boy's hand! 

 
Yup, we were surprised.  You could have bet any of us it was a girl, as sick as I was and so we were all a little shocked.  Kenzie flopped on the couch and refused to speak or watch the remainder of the ultrasound.  She was so disappointed.  Thankfully I think she has finally gotten past it. 

I did do a few projects.  My dad was throwing this out from an eviction- so I snagged it for the baby's dresser.
 BEFORE
 AFTER (minus knobs)

The great shutters were a find my mom picked up in Ohio for $20!

This next find was at Edie's yard sale.  You may recognize it from some of her posts!  It was a great $25 buy my hubby said I couldn't pass up and even though I waited almost a month for him to pick it up I'm so glad we did!  It matches my dining room chairs exactly!  I picked up the fork and spoon at her sale also- I've had my eyes on them for a while! 


We've managed to start the summer out great with swimming... 




 boating and fishing...



 and Dollywood.


And this weekend we are camping- a favorite family/friend pastime.  It's going to be a great summer now that I feel better! 

Now if we can only come up with a name for this child....it has to be one syllable and match the other boy's cool names.  *wink*  Any suggestions?  Ross, Nate, Kenzie and ......?

It's good to be back.
