Special Cousins

Growing up, I had some great playmates. They are my cousins. We no longer live next door to each other and we all have kids of our own. I was able to see Heidi and Phebe after not seeing them for a long time and their precious little boys for the first time. I had missed Leah and Manuel earlier in the week.
Heidi and Keen all the way from Oregon!
Phebe and Kylan live in Asheville.

Spring Break at the Farm

We spent another wonderful week at the farm.
Lydia and Gramma read books.
Lydia played with the Nooks.
She tried on Gramma's robe.

Gramma painted her fingernails.
 
Lounging in the floor to watch TV is always fun.
 There was snow on Monday morning. By the time we ventured out on Tuesday, it was almost gone, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.
 
 
 
Lydia practiced putting on make-up with Bev.
Other highlights included great food. Lydia ate a scrambled egg at least once a day, which is quite unusual. She also enjoyed indulging in several donuts each day. The grown-ups had spaghetti, tacos, pinto beans with fried potatoes, and homemade vegetable beef soup. Oh, and did I mention brownies and cherry AND blueberry cobblers?!? Brooke and Betty came to visit on Friday and the girls had a lot of fun together.

On Thursday, mom and I traveled to Winston Salem. She ate dinner with my brother Steve while I went to meet up with Katie Miller. She is getting married in September so trying on dresses was in order. After a fantastic dinner at Panera Bread and a super quick drive across the city, we ended up at David's Bridal. Since I will be almost 8 months pregnant, I get the honor of buying extra fabric so my dress can be shaped. :) I'm so so so excited!

Baby #2 - Ultrasound #1

I love these early pictures of our new baby. The still shots don't do justice to the tiny heart beating 165 times a minute! My due date may have changed to October 12 (Joey's birthday), but a more "definate" date will be determined at the next visit in 4 weeks. Not much sickness this time around and I am very thankful. However, I am pretty tired and Joey just rolls his eyes constantly when I tell him this. :) What can I say? He loves me! <3
