Baby boy coming early!

At 11:15p last night my water broke and Lee and I came into the hospital. I am now 38wks4days. So, here we are still at 5:45a the next morning waiting on baby! Epidural in and they have started pitocin...we should have baby soon!
This feels surreal; my first time to go into labor on my own.
So excited!

The Fourth of July

We spent our fourth with Lee's parents on Lake Martin. Lee had a great run of fishing and the girls loved looking on and casting their own lines. It was a great time!



Lee's parents with the girls.


The girls were enchanted by the fireworks. I kept a healthy distance away...



Checking out Daddy's catch...in their precious new fishing shirts.



Sullivan discovered a dragonfly who had newly molted wings. He was not ready to fly and kept close to her for a whole day!



Bass and more bass!



Beautiful sunset.

18 days or so til baby boy arrives!
I think I can, I think I can...

From seeds to flowers

Back in April, Sullivan planted a handful of sunflower seeds from school in a small flower bed near the house. She has covered them during frosts, watered them, checked on them almost daily and cared for them for weeks. This week one of the shoots finally flowered! She was delighted and so proud! What will she plant next?

Lanark Camp

This past week Sullivan went to day camp at Lanark in Millbrook. The outdoor nature camp was an all day event all week with hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and exploring. She came home filthy and happy every afternoon, with a backpack filled with new rocks and treasures, even live caterpillars. We are thrilled that she loved it and that she is even asking for more!

Our summer is off to a solid start, although this go around, at 8.5 months pregnant, my time in the heat is very limited! Whew!
We have enjoyed lunches out, birthdays and special times at the library...Sawyer's preschool runs all summer and she is enjoying it so much. Sullivan has a variety of camps as well, from gymnastics to nature camps and the zoo. We hope you are enjoying your summer, too!

Our 9th wedding Anniversary

At the Florida Georgia Line concert.


This June 18 marked our 9th year as a married couple. We were able to have a very fun night out at dinner and a concert and later in the week got to go out for another meal. I am so glad we've gotten the chance to celebrate, be thankful for these years together and to pause and reflect on the exciting year we are in right now, 34 weeks along with Baby Boy.
