Trim, doors and more doors and trim







This is what Craig has been busy with latley. Staining our doors and trim for the completion of our basement. My Grandpa was so kind to let Craig use his professional sprayer to help the job be easier. If you can say easy though, he had to stain it all and then spray on the varnish, sand it, then spray it all again with varnish. It took him about 4 days to complete. Didn't he do an amazing job!! The trim will start to be put in this week! Pictures to follow:)

25 weeks pregnant


Theres no hiding my belly now..................this baby is growing! I thought I would update you all on how my pregnancy is going. It is going GREAT!! Sometimes I dont even feel pregnant. My belly doesnt feel stretched like it did with Preston and I am guessing thats because this is my second. I have never felt better..................honestly. She is a mover and rarely ever stops. I love that the most except when she kicks my bladder or my bowels. Very weird feeling. I have gained a whopping 22 pounds already!!! Yikes. My total with Preston was 40 but I am not sure I will get quite up to that this time.

Preston update




Preston has pretty much been sick all of May. He came down with a Upper Respertory Infection on the 3rd and ended up in the hospital because of his breathing and then a week later came down with the flu, he then took a week off of being sick and is just getting over his 2nd round of the flu. Its been tough on all of us.

Grandma K stopped over a few days ago and got him this Sand box that you stand up and play in. One side is for sand the other for water. I couldn get a good picture but there is an umbrella with it too.

The other picture is Preston watering for Daddy. He loves to mimic the chores Daddy does.
New words lately: Pie, shadow, home, woods, Grandma, water and my favorite.............Baaaby:)

Our 4 year Anniversary


On the 22nd Craig and I celebrated our 4 year Anniversary. Craig had to work and Preston was sick with the flu so we both took care of sick ones for the day. Craig brought home pizza since we couldnt go out with Preston being sick and brought me these beautiful flowers. I got him one of those singing cards and a box of hand picked chocolates from a chocolate shoppe downtown. We ended the night with a movie and Preston sleeping in the middle of us. Preston was so sick that I wanted to catch the throw up myself instead of letting the floor or his crib catch it.
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. He is the love of my life and I can't believe we are parents of one and one on the way. Life couldn't be any better for us.

Grandma and Grandpa pics







Yesterday we went to the cities and visited my Grandparents. My Grandma as you well may know has cancer. Preston gave them lots of hugs and kisses and enjoyed getting snacks from Grandma. Of course Preston had to have Grandpa read "Go, Dog, Go. We love you guys!

Preston and Maddie


Preston got a book from Shanna when we visited her called "Go, Dog, Go" and Preston can't seem to put it down. He loves it and talks about the things in the book. Yesterday morning I saw him reading to Maddie.

Lincoln park zoo pics































We had a lot of fun at the zoo in Lincoln park. I don't know if Preston was too thrilled with the animals this time, he just wanted to walk around and explore everything on his own. I had a little belly pain from the long walk so Craig pushed me and Preston in the stroller for a little while. What a sight that was:) I got a lot of dirty looks from passerbys. Adam was so sweet to pick us up in the car so we didnt have to walk all the way back.
















Craig took an awsome picture of a zebra which he enlarged and framed for me for Mother's Day to put in our zebra bathroom downstairs!
