Growing up...Moving up

It's still hard for me to believe how much my little boy is growing up, but he is. He has officially been moved up to the big kid class (as he puts it). It is actually the next class up with the 3/4 yr olds. Even though he won't actually be three until October, his school decided to move him up anyway. He was the only child in his old class that was fully potty trained, and they had an opening. We also thought it would be better for him to get used to the change of a new class before the baby's arrival. It has been a hard week on me and him. I have left him crying most mornings, which is extremely hard on me, but I also know that he quits soon after I leave. He really is a big kid now!

Break out the Pink...baby shower

What amazing friends that I have...Angie, Mitzi, Haley, and Ida threw us a wonderfully pink shower : ) The food was unbelievable and who could forget the yummy cake. We are so grateful for everything. We received some wonderful gifts and can't wait until she arrives. We have only 4 weeks to go, and we are almost ready. I have lots of cute outfits to get washed, so she will be totally adorable from the beginning : )

Swim Ranch 2009

It was our second year at Swim Ranch, and it's been worth it. Gage improved quite a bit this year. Last year, he had just started swimming with just the buoy, and this year, the instructor kept letting air out of the buoy to make him work harder at treading water. And, at the last class, he finally was swimming without the buoy at all, but of course, dad was right there with a helping hand. I am so proud of our little guy. He definitely loves the water. Maybe, he will be the next Michael Phelps... Oh yeah, we were also lucky enough to have lots of friends join us for lessons too, which made it more fun.

Summer 2009

Well, it's been a really, really hot summer, especially for me. We have had some fun times with friends such as birthday parties, wedding receptions, and just hanging out. Rob is still busy traveling, and I am just preparing for baby's arrival. I hope to get some rest time in before she's here...
