Whoa-ho!!


Here is an attention-getter.
Seen from one of my favorite angles--usually my only angle. And yes I am leaning forward a lot so I can see my toes. After confirming how many weeks along I am, the doctor told me I have a "good sized" baby. I'm thinking on the bright side. I'm going to believe that just means they were wrong on the due date and she'll probably be coming earlier! I can hope right?

Last week was VEISHEA at ISU, and Saturday was the parade! We met some friends there and watched together, then made Thai food afterward. It was a great day. The weather was perfect for parade watching--or just being outside. Not too hot, and not too cold! (Although it must have been a lot sunnier than I thought because we all got sunburned noses and cheeks.)
Anne is becoming really good at gathering candy. She and Ruby accumulated an impressive number of tootsie rolls. I like it that Anne is still a little nervous to just run more than a few steps out into the street to get the candy. She always made Randy go with her.

Ruby was pretty funny too. She couldn't stand to have empty hands. Dad was in charge of holding the candy bag and it took a lot of convincing to get Ruby to go make deposits. Her hands were too full to pick up more candy more often than not. When she did put the candy in the bag she always kept at least one piece. She ate so much candy!
After the parade we saw some tractors and the girls climbed on them for a while.


Anne has been practicing her bike-riding so she can show the grandmas and grandpas when they visit.
I know, it is hard to believe I'm only 32 weeks... and that I can still stand upright. Whoa-ho, right?

Whoa indeed!! I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't even KNOW you're pregnant. I've been out of the blogging scene for a while, but boy, I really missed that! Congrats to all four of you!! We're expecting our second little boy in August. :)

So the girls were looking at the pictures with me and when they saw the one of Randy IN the wheel they started laughing their heads off- they couldn't believe it was that big!! I can't wait for your new little darlings arrival- hang in there kiddo!!!
