Welcome Back!!

Well, I took a little break. But, we are back. Not that there hasn't been a lot to share out in the last 2.5 months, I just wasn't finding the time to update the blog. So, rather than recapping the last 2.5 months, we are just going to go forward from here.

The biggest news.....We are expecting baby #2 in December!! We are all so very excited. Baby is expected to arrive on December 7th or 8th. I know Heather Hanson is cheering for December 7th to share a birthday with this little one. We'll just have to wait and see. We had an ultrasound on Wed. and wow, this one is a mover. Way more than Colin ever was for us on camera. We got some great shots and Colin was so excited to see his baby. He is so excited to be a Big Brother. He talks to the baby all the time, kisses my tummy, and is convinced it's a brother. And for those who are wondering, we didn't find out the sex and aren't sure if we will or not in July when we have our 20 week ultrasound. More to come!!
Beyond the baby news we've really been enjoying spring and the beginning of summer. Even though the weather hasn't been the best, we are still enjoying the outdoors. We planted a garden on Memorial Weekend and Colin is really enjoying helping with the garden. He even has his own spot in the garden that he planted whic of course is growing the best. Go figure! Who knew dumping seeds, then layering on rocks, then dirt would produce such tall plants. Even Scott, who wasn't completely bought in on the idea, is really loving the garden.

Last Sunday we joined our friends the Brutger's at the Saints game. The boys had a blast! The weather wasn't the best, but no rain, so we were fine. The game on Saturday was rained out so we got to see a double header. The boys made it through the middle of the second game, so that was great. For those who know Jackson and Colin, they are two peas in a pod. Mel and I just love watching the two of them together and see so many visions of years to come of these two growing up together. We are blessed to have such great friends!

I'll end with a few pictures from the baseball game.
And a promise...I hope to keep this more up to date going forward.
