1. Blog Makeover

No, you didn't go to the wrong blog...I just gave mine a little make over!  Baby isn't here yet, but we are over half way there--so I thought it would be okay to officially make this a family blog :)

 

2. Highlights from our last summer trip to the lake with my family. 

 

Obviously, the biggest highlight was meeting my new nephew, Oliver! (We also had a big b-day party for Natalie and Stratton--love those two!)

Doesn't Matt look like such a natural in this picture?  (Foreshadowing...hehe)

 Or, do I like how this looks better?  I can't decide...maybe a little more realistic at this point ;)

 Princess Natalie...she is the best and such a helpful older sister!

 This is me hogging the baby more so that I could get in more practice before we had to leave.

 Comparing our "bumps."

 

3. Kicking!

Speaking of bumps...I felt the baby kick this past weekend.  She woke me up at 12:30 am with all of her kicking.  I woke up Matt to feel it too...one of the coolest feelings!  I feel her wiggling inside almost every evening now :)

 

4. Moving

Luckily, its going smoother than I anticipated.  Almost done and then we can begin the unpacking...

 

5. Beaconator

 

This poor little guy has been a little neglected lately.  We thought we almost lost him again when Matt said the other night, "Have you seen Beacon latley?"  We found him about five minutes later snug behind his food bin in the pantry (with the door closed...oops :/)  Hopefully this is no indication of what our parenting will be like!  The other big event in Beacon's life will be getting a "Lion's Cut" at the groomer today.  We thought this might be best for him since we don't do a great job of routinely brushing him.  Stay tuned for a look at his new "do!"
