Happy Memorial Day!

Anyone who knows me knows that I've been anxiously awaiting this weekend for one thing and one thing only…. official POOL OPENING DAY! It’s on every calendar I own… which right now includes my work computer, client computer, home computer, iPhone, work phone and home “paper” calendar… but I digress. I’ve loved the pool ever since I can remember… back when mom would send me down for the day on my bike with a cooler of drinks and food to last the day. I guess with our kids it’ll be a little different since they can’t go to the pool unsupervised until they’re something crazy like 14! ::gasp:: Oh well, I guess mom will just have to tag along

Of course we took Sean to the pool last year but he’ll be able to enjoy it much more this year now that he’s walking. Here are a few shots we got of opening day but one I didn’t get was Sean going down the water slide with his daddy. He was unsure at first but afterwards was smiling from ear to ear. Even the life guards were smiling that he got such a kick out of it!

On Sunday, we put the sprinkler out back for the first time (of course after I ran poop patrol with the pooper scooper… another thing I swore my parents made me do that I would never do once I was an adult… but again, I digress) and it was a lot of fun. Our neighbors probably didn’t need to see me running around in a bathing suit but we had fun nonetheless.

Afterwards, our friends Jen, Darren and baby Grant came over for dinner. We brought up Sean’s walker from the basement (Sean was shocked that we had toys down there that he’s “never” seen) and Grant took really well to it. Sean loved the idea of pushing Grant around in the “car”… visions of I’m sure what’s to come very soon

Bugging Out

We went to a park in South Carolina on Sunday to have a little picnic since the weather was so nice. Right when I got out of the car I noticed this bug flying straight towards my head… I ducked and it hit the car with a thud. It was a cicada, and it wasn’t the only one. There must have been THOUSANDS of them flying all over the place. It was so loud that you could barley hear yourself talk. But being the outdoorsy people we are, we ventured on. We found a nice bench and pulled out our sandwiches and next thing you know, there are cicadas landing all over John. I can only say that laughing that hard being as pregnant as I am is not safe, but boy it was funny. For some reason Sean and I weren’t as attractive to them as John was – they were landing on him left and right. Needless to say, we quickly finished our lunch and moved closer to the water where there were lots of ducks for Sean to feed!

Seriously, if this guy landed on you wouldn’t you scream like a girl?! I’m not saying John did that, I’m just saying…..

June 10th Is a Good Day to Have a Baby :)

Well it’s official - we’re scheduled to welcome Dylan Augustus into the world on June 10th! We can start taking bets now whether he’ll wait that long or not though, haha.  I’m definitely carrying him lower than I did with Sean and having more Braxton Hicks contractions too.  I know it doesn’t do much good to compare the two since every pregnancy is different, but it’s still fun to see the pictures side by side, don’t you think?!

Busy Mother’s Day Weekend

We had a very eventful Mother’s Day weekend - Pop Pop, GG, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Jacobs came to visit!  We rode the tractor in the woods, cut down trees, put up umbrellas and benches, took the boat out, made great meals, buckled Sean in his cart to ride the bike with his Dad, took walks, got most of Dylan’s room setup…. the list goes on and on! I’m so grateful that everyone could come visit and even more grateful for the tremendous help everyone gave us in getting ready for Dylan’s arrival. 

What Are We Gonna Do….

With that hair??
