My mom and dear niece Anna came last Saturday for a week of fun in the sun and relaxation...only one of which took place...and it wasn't relaxing!! From the moment she got here, my mom eagerly and gladly tackled item after item on a marathon long list that has been growing since we moved in. Anna was a jewel and played with the boys all day so we could work on organizing, rearranging and preparing for the new baby. Just to mention a few of the projects we completed: painted the cradle, made my laundry room functional and fabulous!, landscaped the front yard, painted and updated a coffee table, cleaned our grill and made a baby book. It feels great to finally get some of these things crossed off the list and we are breathing easier as we count down the days until the babe is here.
With all the work, we did manage some fun during their stay. My mom made it in time for my Blessingway, the boys attended open gym at the Gymnastics Academy, we all played outside whenever it was nice out, Anna stayed the night at the cabin with Dan's sister's family, my mom and I got haircuts and Friday we took Anna to the Lakewalk to buy her an early bday present and get her ice cream.
The boys adored every minute with Anna and Grandma and already miss them both. We loved having them, are amazed at what we got accomplished in one week, and can't wait to have them back up soon to meet the new babe!
- The boys were so fun to watch at the gym. Connor jumped off a 6 foot mat into the pit over and over, Liam walked across the balance beam(with little help) and mastered the trampoline and best of all, both were exhausted well before lunch time!
- We have just 3 weeks left until the baby is due. I am feeling pretty good and reveling in these final days/weeks of my third pregnancy. We can't wait to see our new little one!!
- Basement walls were sanded tonight...paint tomorrow...trim Wednesday...carpet Friday. Things are moving along just great!!
