i've been pregnant FOREVER

Okay 38 weeks if we are being all technical...but it feels like an eternity.

I am so ready. Especially for the comments to end...
Yes, I do look ready to pop
Yes, I am certain there is only one in there
Yes, I am still here
No, I haven't had this baby yet

Heaven help me, I hope it's SOON!


Here is a peek at the nursery. I still have some finishing touches to add, but as Jonathan points out (especially when I am asking him to hang something), it will be months until she's actually sleeping in there.

And this is my happy place - Campbell's closet.
I should probably lock myself in there until I am ready to deliver.

Turning 9 on 9/9

We weren't going to have a big birthday party this year, instead Harrison was going to invite just a couple of close friends to go minature golfing. After considering the scorching heat and the idea of a group of boys armed with iron clubs (especially the birthday boys younger brother!)...we decided to spring for a party afterall....

Nothing is easier then a bowling party. At Happy Tymes you bowl, have lunch and cake and then receive tokens for the arcade games. Perfect.





Harrison is a great big brother and he can't wait for his little sister to arrive
His favorite thing to do is play Legos
He plays baketball, baseball and soccer
His feet are as big as mine
He enjoys playing the Wii, on the computer, and Angry Birds on my phone
His favorite food is a hamburger
He is big on hand washing - his and yours
He likes to spy on people
He watches reality tv with me (everything except the Real Housewives!)
If you ask him to play a game he wants it to be Monopoly
He is great at saving his money
He has no idea what he wants to be for Halloween...9 is definitely an "in between" age
I'll take more little boy and less tween
Happy Birthday Harrison!!! We love you!!!

1+1

Yes, I'm sad to see them growing up...but I have to confess that after a summer of non-stop fighting, I couldn't wait to ship these two off to school.

Sawyer was very excited about starting Kindergarten. I'd be even more excited myself if the class time was longer then 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Harrison is pretty reluctant when it comes to school, but he was excited to meet his new teacher and hopeful that she'd be nice enough not to give them homework on the first day.

I love that my guys will now pass each other in the hallways!

Since our district doesn't bus for Kindergarten, I had the perfect opportunity to walk Sawyer in and snap a picture with his incredibly sweet teacher. You know the type - she's been there forever and everyone loves her.

And it wouldn't be the first day of school without the pencil cake!

Here's to a great school year ahead!!!
