The beach in July

Here are a few more photos from our beach trip this summer. The group shot did not include my family, who spent the first half of the week with us. This was taken on our "out to eat" night which was wonderful, with the only exception being the imported fish due to the lovely oil spill. Only a few tar balls found the whole week though.
We love this shot of Thompson and Louanna-it looks like a paparazzi shot of 2 celebrities!
And Michael loves those bare belly bump shots!

Playing catch up

I laugh at the last post on here! Most of all, I laugh at the picture!! I have really forgotten what it was like to be that small. So, when little Finch makes his arrival, I will be posting much more. It's really a blog for him-or will be.

As for us, we are just getting back into the swing of things after a great 5 wks at home with family. It was just so good to be with everyone, especially our 2 new nephews!! (pics of them to come.)

Since being back in Karen, I have gotten the nursery put together...still need a few things but it is almost there. I am growing VERY heavy!! Whenever I stand up now, I have to wait a bit and let baby boy settle his weight before I can walk! He is

still very active, he started at an early 16 wks, but this is slowing a bit as he grows too big for his home. He is still in good position and we are expecting a very LONG boy from what we can tell so far!! No surprise there!! Our doula is still in the states as she was delayed and is expected to return back to Kenya Aug 27. I'm pretty sure that we will be in the clear, but just hope he doesn't decide to come earlier than that! As of now, our due date is still Sept 12. Michael's parents arrive Sept 15-which is also my grandmother's birthday, so we are ok if he chooses this day!

Here are a few pictures from home....

Here is a sweet picture of my sister's 2nd baby boy! His name is McLain Coats Griffin (now 3 months old.) He goes by Coats and yes, he has the coolest baby hair ever!

This picture was taken at our precious friends' Katie Shropshire & Ben Strout (aka Strout & Shrop) wedding. Michael felt so honored to have 2 of our best and most favorite friends join hands and we were also able to stand beside them in such a special celebration. This picture is with my most favorite Kiwi and BSR...Georgie. She traveled all the way from NZ for the wedding, I can not tell you how much I love and miss this girl, so it was soooo wonderful to see her and hang out! She is also a little bride...getting married in Dec.

Our sweet friend, Caleb Chancey, did a little preggo photo shoot for us. Against my hesitations, Michael insisted I go bare belly in most of the shots! This one is probably my favorite. I was 30 weeks here, and compared to now, still small!
