4 day weekends



new shade on our back door. i plan on getting matching ones for the window next to the door. double snap!


The Army is good for it's vacation, it may not be exactly when we want it but boy do we enjoy our days together. This weekend was like Martha Stewart meets the Walton's. We did a lot of family 'stuff.' From walks, to park trips, to home made meals; it was a long and relaxing weekend. I was able to sleep for 12 hours Saturday night! It was pure bliss. I finished our bedroom, painted our accent wall a shade darker and also the accent wall in our sitting room. It's a dark chocolate, LOVES it.
Painting is a work out in and of itself. I can feel my arms toning up, seriously.
We also bought a gorgeous screen door for the front door. Let me tell you, screen doors aren't cheap, but she's a beauty. Finally I can open my front door and let the sunshine in. We have been in the 70's for a week now n are fully taking advantage of the weather. Isabelle and I are out daily and Jake joined in too.

Izzy n I playing 'salon'

I made some yummy dinners. Home made pizza, half of which was stuff crust (my side!)
Cajun BBQ pork chops and seasoned potatoes
Chicken and grape salad. It such a simple noodle recipe we love to eat on warm days (and healthy!)


Baby update-we got another ultra sound today. Our little one did not want to sit still for the Dr to hear his/her heartbeat. So, we got an ultra sound. We(including Isabelle!) saw hands, feet, kicking, turning, smiling, it was BEAUTIFUL! Isabelle's reaction was 'woah baby.' It was so wonderful. Jake was all smiles, it was his first time hearing this baby's heart beat. My next appointment in 3 weeks to see the baby again and make sure he or she is growing well and healthy. No, we are still not finding out the sex. At 17.3 weeks I still haven't gained any weight, in fact I lost 2 pounds. Which is a bit weird for me, but the baby is healthy so all is fine.
P.S. The lil peanut has kicked me! I have felt him a few times now...yep I think it's a boy too. And if we are wrong, well we are in for another sweet surprise! :)
(I would LOVE another girl!)
