I LOVE collages...I can add lots of photos with only one upload!!
To give a re-cap of the last two months, we found out we're having another BOY!! Elina was very disappointed...especially after naming her "little Shanna". It's crazy to even think of myself having two boys! (actually, most days, I don't even think of it at all) I can really feel him kicking now though and am getting excited to have another winter baby!
We also FINALLY (after months of looking) bought a mini-van. Our stalwart & loyal Saturn Wagon alas does not fit three car seats. (No matter how hard you cram...we tried :( The kids Love the extra space and practically use it as their playhouse! lol.
I decided with three winter children, we're going to skip the cold weather & "sickness filled" birthdays and celebrate nice warm summer 1/2 birthdays instead!! We threw one for Elina & Aaron this month. We ate 1/2 sized cupcakes & 1/2 cookies. My friend (Erin) gave me a great recipe for sidewalk paint (equal parts cornstarch & water w/ abt. 8 drops food coloring), colored the garage, went on a bubble treasure hunt and had a great time!
For my Birthday, Bryce made dinner for the entire week then took me to dinner & the play "Pride & Prejudice"!! Bryce even surprised himself by thoroughly enjoying the play. We landed some awesome "box" seats w/ a perfect view! Hooray for Dates & Birthdays :)
We filled up the rest of the month with camping, harvesting our meager garden crops, going to the observatory, playing at the park, & observing wildlife (if you look closely at one of the pictures, you'll see a katydid...it's been years since I've seen one)! The summer has flown by, and I am sooo very excited for the nice cool days of Fall!!
