The Last Mile!

Well the house is going through final inspections and I'm in my 38th week! We hope to move in within 2 weeks. And who knows when the little one is coming....:) Stay tuned!

Beach

We had SO MUCH fun--10 adults and 6 kids. Can you imagine what feedin' time was like? We should have just put a plate of mac and cheese on the floor and had them go at it. It wasn't much different than that actually! All the kids played together nicely and the adults managed to do the same (when there is enough beer, Crown and tequila around who knows what to expect!). And the best news was that I did not go into labor in NC. Now we are home till this kid arrives...and hopefully that we move into the house first (which is looking like a good possibility at this point). Yay!

Fun at the Beach

So far we are having a great time in Nags Head! Lucy is not a huge fan of the beach. She stays in the sand for 10 minutes, then needs to check out the pool, then the hot tub, then it's time to get out of the swim diaper and see what everyone else is doing inside. Busy little one, per usual. One month till my due date too! OMG!!

Gearin' Up for the Big Girl Room

So I decided I was going to take on a craft project--painting an old dresser, putting on new knobs and painting a toddler bed for L's new room. Then Jud reminded me that I am not necessarily known for putting a lot of elbow grease into such projects. Not to mention inhaling paint fumes and Kilz at 8 months pregnant being a bad idea. So I quickly called our fix-it, painter and overall hero John and he did it for us. They are so cute now--goodbye ugly oak furniture! We are recycling both the toddler bed which came from a friend for free and the dresser which was actually Granny Judi's in her first room in CT. Score!! I can't wait to get in there and start putting some of these things in the house. PS--I got the knobs for $4 each at a site called Cool Knobs and Pulls.com. It's awesome!

Big Girl

She is definitely a little girl here!

Here are some bathroom pics! We are getting there.

Yay for Fall!

Lucy and I both are so happy cooler temps are here. We celebrated the first of September by spending 2 hours at the park, which was impossible for me a few weeks ago when it was over 90. She was so happy she could have played all day. She passed out in the car before she even had her lunch! She is quite fearless (notice her scaling the giant slide) and wants to jump down from several feet to the ground unassisted.
