Sandboxing

A family from church passed their sandbox on to Nathan, tonight we got it ready for some serious play-time...

He was so cute! Trace and I decided that this will be a seriously messy toy, but worth it as long as we can keep the cats out!

The Barber Shop

It was time for Nathan's second haircut yesterday, so Trace and the little one headed to the barber shop!

Thanks, Kevin!

Recent Goings On

We have not been too busy lately. Not much picture taking, but here are some recent photos of our boy.

Easter at Grammy and Granddad's - being silly at the porch rail.

Helping Daddy mow - he can steer the ZTR like a pro!

Pulling the wagon.

Exploring

We have been soaking up the spring so far. I have started some landscaping projects, we have a trip planned in a few weeks so the garden is going to be put on hold. I have visions of an herb garden this year and have requested a raised garden bed for it for mother's day.

Things with the new baby are progressing well, we will be 22 weeks tomorrow. I am getting big, gaining lots of weight. Maybe a belly picture will be posted this week...

Ultrasound

Before I let you in on the ultrasound results, here is a picture of our family of 3 1/2 on Easter Sunday. Nathan looked so cute in his green linen and adorable tie! He did participate in an egg hunt, I will hopefully post pictures later this week.

And here is the new baby...A baby boy!! We had a feeling it was a boy after an ultrasound at the clinic provided a money shot between the legs. Trace was pretty convinced, I was holding out until the official hospital ultrasound today. The tech said everything looked healthy and fine to her. The 20 week check is next Monday.

We told Nathan that he has a little brother on the way and showed him the pictures, he said "Baby!" but I am not so sure that he fully comprehends...

Little Mr. Clean

OK, we are back from hiatus...No reason for our long absence from the land of blog, but we are back!

I have been obsessed with this toy Dusty the Talking Vacuum. Nathan is very interested in cleaning, he likes the big vacuum, he likes to wipe things, and likes to sweep. The problem was that Dusty was like $45 on some sites, crazy for a plastic toy! I finally found him at Target.com for a much more reasonable price. It was supposed to be part of N's easter basket, but we could not wait (I think I am more into the toy than he it).

He likes Dusty so far, it is super cute and talks and makes noises - he motors all around the living room!

Just before bed, all done with the housework!

Boy Meets Puddle

So...

For the readers we have that may not already know, we have some news. We are overjoyed to announce that Nathan is going to be a big brother!! We are expecting baby #2 in August...August 30th to be exact. We are 13 weeks along right now and have had a few bumps along the way, but things are going well. I feel like I am already getting big, and while these are not the most flattering pics, I decided that this pregnancy we will take more belly photos.
