We made it!

So I'm officially 20 weeks in and halfway through my pregnancy - whew! For the record, my belly is much bigger this time than it was with Alex. This isn't the most flattering picture, but we were at Imagination Island, an indoor playground, surrounded by a bunch of screaming kids running around so I wasn't at my best!

Mass Destruction....

So as you can see, we have a bit of a squirrel issue. I threw a rock at him today and lucky for him I have lousy aim.... but I'm practicing! By the way, we threw that first cushion away from the earlier pictures - these are the second and third that were attacked.

Caught in the act....

These are just a couple pictures Alex wanted to take of himself because he thinks the camera is the coolest! Today we had a visit from an unwelcome character who decided to rip open our cruddy cushion for her nest. There is no shortage of squirrels in our yard and they are becoming a little too comfortable for our liking. We were getting new cushions anyway so it's not too tragic - our only hope is that this doesn't happen with the new ones too!

A first look...

In conjunction with all the other excitment on Friday, Sam and I went to our big ultrasound appointment and got our first look at the new peanut. He/she looks perfect! We told the radiologist that we didn't want to know the sex, so it's still a surprise to us all!

A little excitement....

On Wednesday afternoon we had the ultimate pleasure of experiencing a water main break which resulted in no water pressure and a pond in our front yard. The town came and shut off our water so we went without for about 24 hours and then we got hooked up to the neighbor and it was wonderful. Dig Safe came on Thursday and the plumber came on Friday and replaced the pipe so by 4pm Friday we were back in business and better than ever. Alex was having a wonderful time watching them dig up the yard and also has enjoyed playing in the giant pile of sand leftover. I took some before/after pictures and they actually ended up in the middle of the line up, but you can figure it out. It was impressive to watch and they did a great job so all in all it wasn't as terrible as it seemed initially, but then again, most things never are!

Trains!!!!!

Grandma came to visit and brought Alex a new Thomas train set! He LOVES it and can't get enough of it. Thanks Grandma!!!!!

Fun at the Zoo!

Mimi came to the Buttonwood Park Zoo with us and we had so much fun!

Sunny Days!

We had such great weather last weekend that we were outside all day playing with the summer toys and all the neighbors. Alex could finally reach the pedal on his truck so he tried it out and was having a blast. He didn't quite get the hang of it yet and ended up crashing into a few things and drove himself into the bushes, but he was having fun. He also has a new hat!

Early Morning Construction

At 6:30 this morning, Alex decided to play construction worker. He looks very handsome in his hardhat! Mommy hadn't had coffee yet so she's not looking as perky. Alex is making that face at me again so I don't think he thought I looked very good in the hat.

Pillow Time!

Alex and Daddy were having fun yesterday while I made dinner. Alex loves tunnels and tents and was having a great time!
