AUGUST 2013 RECAP

AUGUST 2 - STEPH'S BIG 3-0

We celebrated "paradise style" since the years in your 30's are supposedly the best...  :)  Steph is one of the most thoughtful and generous people I know.  She is full of life, happiness, and fun.  You can't be around Steph and not help but feel like life is something to be treasured and enjoyed.  We sure love you, friend!

AUGUST 13 - BABY'S ULTRASOUND AT 20 WEEKS

All is going well with this pregnancy.  Baby is looking very strong and healthy, which is always comforting to information to have.  We are getting excited!!!  We chose to keep the gender a secret from ourselves again, we just think it's more fun that way!  We'll keep you posted on gender in December!  :)

AUGUST 16 - BOY'S CONCENTRATION

Someone else I know pulls a similar face when he's deep in concentration...  :)

AUGUST 22 - BREAKFAST & THE FRIEND

Dad and boy eating sprinkles!

AUGUST 29 - FAMILY PIX

This photo shoot was absolutely AWFUL!  My visions of family pictures with our sweet baby bump melted away within the first five seconds out of the car.  Boy was crying the entire time...we're lucky we got the few pix we did with his face the way it is!  My sweet and patient friend just smiled and dealt with us for an hour anyway.  Thanks again, Mariah!  You are a saint!

22.5 week baby bump

We're having a baby!
