Flood

Today we went for a walk as a family and ended up at the flooded elementary school.  It floods every year (Only across the lawn and with no damage to the school itself) and it's fun to go over and see it and play in it.

Even though Nicholas was wearing shorts, he wanted to roll them up before he went in to make sure they really didn't get wet

Nicholas pointing to where the water is coming onto the lawn from.  He took Daniel with his for support so he wouldn't fall over into the water.  Alex couldn't go because he was wearing long pants and didn't have sandals on.  I braved going across this once, but wouldn't allow photos to be taken of me since I looked so awkward.

15 weeks

Here I am at 15 weeks along in the pregnancy.  Still feel really large for how far along I am.  At least we know it's in there and growing, right?

1st Pack Meeting

Alex got to go to his first pack meeting today!  He was so excited and we had a lot of fun!

Alex's finished product.  Not too bad for not have being able to see!

Walk-a-thon

At the boys' school they had a walk-a-thon to raise money for school supplies.  My boys got some pledges so then we had to go to the school to walk for a half an hour so they could earn their money.

Nicholas

Daniel didn't really want to walk in it (he wasn't required to anyway), but a neighbor girl came over and grabbed his hand so he went with her.  She's not in this picture, but walking with a girl definitely makes you want to participate!

Madelynn kept me company while the boys walked.

10 Weeks

Here I am at 10 weeks pregnant.  Looking pretty large and in charge.

Barcelona

Ben and I decided we needed to go on a trip before I get too pregnant and can't go anywhere.  Also, it's been a while.  Our original plan was to go to Athens, but sadly the flights were full so we changed our plans to go to Barcelona.  It was really pretty and we had a really great time!  I'm posting some of our better pictures. 

This is in a big open city square.  I don't remember names of people or places, so I'm afraid this is as specific as I can be.

So Barcelona has an Arc just like Paris does.  Who knew?  Now we do.  P.S. I had just woken up from sleeping on a plane and hadn't had a chance to put on make up or do my hair.  Be kind.

Huge fountain in a park we went to.  Once again, the names thing.  Also be kind here too, yes that's a tiny baby bump and I'm already gaining weight.

In the restaurant (kind if) where we took a break and had pizza, about the only thing that sounded good to me at the time.  It's hard to find food that sounds good to a partially morning sick person in a country you've never been to before!

I know you've all seen pictures of this, so I don't even need to remember the name, right?

6 Weeks

I guess I should start posting my pregnancy progress since I'm ALREADY SHOWING!!  Good grief, good thing the cat's out of the bag already, I'm not hiding anything this time!
