Weekend fun at our house

I have really noticed Kevin's imagination take off over the past few months. Friday afternoon he wanted to go on an animal hunt at our house. We turned off all the lights and hunted for stuffed animals with his flashlight. We found most of them in his room. He thought it was fun to line them all up and take pictures of what we found. This kept him busy for quite a while :)

Then he decided to play dress up. (I have to say that because Kevin is a boy, we don't have dress up clothes to play with. The best I could come up with were his old Halloween costumes).

Friday night we had a bunch of friends over for Nate's homemade pizzas. As usual, Kevin and the girls had fun running around together.


Nate was practicing what our lives will be like soon; holding a baby and chasing a 3 year old. Baby Zachary was such a good sport and never cried when Nate held him.

Sunday afternoon we all had lunch at Kevin's restaurant. He serves the best leftover pizza.

More florida pictures

The best weather was on the first day. From the moment we arrived at the hotel Kevin was begging to be at the pool or beach...

I love this picture; before there were 4...

Florida pictures - part one

We had an awesome time in West Palm Beach last week.

This first photo is just bliss...

The weather was good, most days. On a few cooler days we took Kevin to a local Children's museum and to the mall. Needless to say, Kevin LOVED swimming in the pool! We were in the water as much as possible. Lucky for us, they kept the water very warm. I don't have any pool pictures of Kevin, I am waiting to gather those from Grandmom.

Kevin got a real lobster claw:



We all enjoyed the fountain show & the sunshine at the mall:




More photos soon...

Around the house helper

No matter the task, Kevin is always ready to help!

Birthdays & early Valentine's party

Grandmom & PopPop came to visit us last weekend. They worked really hard around our house; stripping wallpaper, painting, hanging shelves, fixing toilets. We are so grateful for their help!


Sunday night we had a superbowl/grandparent birthday/early valentine's party. Here are some pictures:

Kevin is all set for Florida with his new beach coverup:

Happy Birthday!

26 week update

Baby BamBam is growing strong & doing great:

I had a doctor appointment yesterday, all is well. The doctor reminded me that Baby BamBam is measuring a few weeks ahead. No surprise here! I also passed the yucky glucose test which confirms that big babies run in our family, there is nothing I can do about it. It has nothing to due with gestational diabetes! I have an open invitation to set my c-section date, but I am still hoping it won't come to that point. In the end, I hope we will do what we did when Kevin; keep an open mind & go for the route the leads to a healthy baby & healthy mom (both of us all in one piece).

Some photos soon.

Kevin & Grandma Becky

Sadly, Kevin's Grandma Becky (Nate's mom) passed away last week. It was difficult to explain to Kevin what was happening. In the end, we told him that she is not sick anymore and she is in heaven. Kevin did not seem to notice anyone's sadness, but was very excited by all the visitors at our house last week. I though it would be appropriate to post a few photos of Kevin with his Grandma Becky.

While compiling some family photos this week we found a great one of Nate & his mom. This picture made us all smile :)
