Just Add Baby

Well, I can't really think of another thing that needs to be done to get ready for the baby. I'm sure there are things I can't think of or don't know about yet, but for now, I'm just very impatiently awaiting her arrival. So in order to entertain ourselves John and I are now wagering on her arrival day, weight and height. John has guessed August 17th, 8lbs, 2oz, and 19.5" long. My guess, August 21st, 7lbs 9oz, 21.5" long. Feel free to join in, there are actually valuable prizes and cash at stake.* Just a reminder, my actual due date is the 19th.

*The fine print: Must be present to win. :)

Summer Update

Not too much to report for our summer. Our biggest pasttime is counting down the days until the baby's here. I can't believe it's only 35 days away! However, I have a suspicion that she will come late, but I'm trying not to dwell on that. Let's see, we had everyone over on the 4th for a little water skiing and tubing...this is the only picture that I actually got of these activities as every time I came around with the camera, there was no action. We had a small fireworks extravaganza planned, but we got rained out. Some neighbors across the lake weren't deterred though, so we got to watch theirs.


The following week Emilee, Momo and the boys came for a visit on the way to Ohio. Cooper actually caught several fish, so we were happy about that. Again, camera in hand never actually corresponded with successful fishing, so I have no proof of this. It was great to have them here, though!

That's pretty much it, John and I did give tourism in Memphis a shot, but we believe that Beale street probably is much more exciting in the dark after several adult beverages, not that great as a lunch destination . Especially when you are super pregnant, it's over 100 degrees outside and the restaurant you pick doesn't have good AC! Luckily they had good food or I'd have been really upset.
