Early Arrival?

If you look at the baby ticker on the side of the blog it says I still have over 20 days until this baby is due. But....at my doctors appointment on Friday the doctor told me the baby is head down, I'm dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced. Of course she also said I could have the baby this weekend or in 3 weeks. So the waiting continues.

Anyone want to guess when this baby will make his/her debut. My due date is October 13th.

My next appointment is on Wednesday - we'll keep you posted.

Labor Day Fun

We decided to take the kids to the zoo and butterfly house on Labor Day. The weather was perfect and there weren't too many people so it turned out to be a great day.

Bill is trying to coax Paige into petting the camel - she didn't want anything to do with it.

Here are a few shots from the butterfly house. There were literally hundreds of butterflies.

Dylan turns 6

Dylan's been 6 for a few weeks now but I've been slow in posting his birthday pictures. Here are a few from his birthday festivities.

Thanks to all the grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. who sent gifts and wished him a happy birthday. As you can tell from the pictures he was quite a happy kid.

As for school, he is really enjoying 1st grade. He came home last week and informed us that he had been chosen as the student council representative for his class (who knew they had student council in 1st grade?!). He was very excited and is looking forward to the parade he will get to be part of next week.

8 Years!

Eight years ago today, Bill and I were married. I can remember the day well. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday and sometimes it's hard to believe its only been 8 years. We're looking forward to a dinner out without the kids and then getting ready for Dylan's 6th birthday tomorrow.
