Painting the nursery

What a fun week! I am so sad that it is already over so soon. It seems like it was just Monday and now it is Friday evening. The nursery is painted and looks so beautiful, but Lindsey is gone. The next time I see her will be when I introduce her to her new niece/nephew. I had the best time! Not just painting but shopping, baking the most delicious cinnamon rolls, and just spending quality time together. Thanks for coming up, Lindsey. I miss you already!

I am not going to post the photos here because there are so many of them, but I am posting a link so you can visit our Photo Gallery to see the photos.

Happy Father's Day!

The soon to be daddy!

More guests!

This week was my last week of school, can I get a YAHOOOO?!?! I am so happy to be done! The last day went very smoothly and I was able to check out at 4:00 p.m. that day rather than returning the following day for the scheduled teacher work day. I had been working very hard to clear my things out of the classroom in order to be ready to leave on the last day. My MIL came with me and was a tremendous help getting last minute things off the walls and packing up the rest of the boxes. I got everything checked off my list, handed in my key, and left. All done.

Janet and Gary drove up on Friday and were able to spend time with us as well as with Gary's daughter, Abby, and granddaughter, Brandon. We all got together on Saturday for a scrumptious lunch at a Thai restaurant and to Dairy Queen for dessert. The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning the house, playing in the yard, going on walks around the neighborhood, and setting up the furniture in the baby's room. We now have a crib and changing table/dresser all ready to go! Next is a visit from SIL, Lindsey!

A friendly visit!

My longtime friend, Stacy, came to visit us this past week! What fun we had catching up after not having seen each other in such a long time. She is currently teaching 4th grade in Taiwan at Taipei Adventist American School and absolutely loves it! We had the best time together and I am so lucky to have had her visit!

Baby belly is growing!

We got a little creative with the photos this time. Thought I would share a few of my expanding belly!

Getting ready for baby...

It is a daunting task, but we are slowly preparing for the arrival of our little bundle of joy. This week we set up the bassinet. It was very surreal as Daddy C sat on the floor of our bedroom preparing this teeny tiny bed for the baby. We are so excited!!
