A weekend away

On Friday morning I got on a plane and flew to Nashville to meet a bunch of other mom friends. I got home last night at about 9:15. It was a great weekend full of laughs, hugs, smiles and food. Just the break this mommy needed. I guess Doug needs to plan a weekend away sometime soon so we'll be even. :)

Also, the ultrasound is scheduled for Oct 5th. That's a week from today! We're pretty sure we aren't going to find out baby's gender, but I guess we'll see what happens when we're in there. Baby has been kicking a lot the last few days and I love it. I didn't feel the other two until quite a bit later than this, so it's great to be able to feel this one already. I am so excited to see him/her on the screen next week. :)

Sorry no pics this time. I'll try to get some cute kid pics to post next time.

A few house pics

We're getting more settled, but it's still a work in progress. Here are a few pics of the rooms that are a bit farther along in the process.

Doug's study:


The kids' playroom (yes, it's that green):


Bradley's room:


Gracie's room (very pink):


That's it for now. More to come in the coming weeks and months.

First day of school, with PICS!

Yesterday was Bradley's first day of preschool. We met his teachers on Tuesday, so he was very excited and not at all nervous. He even had trouble sleeping the night before, from the excitement.

Here he is with his new backpack in the parking lot.


And this one inside is a bit cheesy. He was so excited to get started playing, I think he was annoyed that I wanted to take his picture. You would never now he hadn't been to school before. He walked right in and had a great first day. He can't wait to go back tomorrow.


And since the computer with the software for the camera finally got set up last night, here are belated first day pics from Gracie's first day.

Pulling her backpack. That didn't last long though.


Daddy walked to school with us, so she hitched a ride with Bradley in the wagon. (When Mommy pushes, she only pushes one at a time, so this was a real treat.)


Here's our second grader!


She still loves school and has been doing great so far. She even likes homework. :)
