Family Update

I feel like I need to provide an update on here. I cannot believe it has been so long since my last update. I know I said I'm done blogging but I might take it up again. I really don't enjoy getting on FaceBook and I'm lousy at emailing so I thought maybe this should be the main way my extended family can see how we are doing.

I'm not really sure how our winter or spring ended. It feels like forever ago. Our summer has been great though. Since the first of June we have been at the pool 5 times, had our first sun burns and the boys have had their fair share of boo boo's. Joshua LOVES swimming and is doing great so far. Our first day at the pool he wouldn't let go of someone's hand and by the 3rd day at the pool he was jumping in on his own with his floaty and could kick his way around the pool all on his own. Not a day goes by where he doesn't ask to go swimming. I'm hoping he will be able to swim on his own by the end of the summer. Will likes the water too and enjoys floating around in his little baby float his aunt bought his brother back in 2006. They have become quite the water babies and I love it. I never went swimming while pregnant with Will or Joshua, I never thought I would enjoy it. My first day in the water I LOVED it, I enjoyed not feeling heavy, pregnant, and large. Will loves it too because I'll hold him more, since he doesn't put the pressure on me or my belly in the water like he does on dry land. We really enjoy being able to walk to our swimming pool, and we love having the mountains outside our back door it truly feels like we are on vacation all year round.

The month of June is crazy busy and we are supposed to end the month on vacation to Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. I honestly don't see the vacation happening since the last two nights I've had very regular contractions. I do have a midwife appointment next week and she will check me out. Then we will make our final decision... but it isn't looking good people. :(

As soon as our tax return arrives we will get the boys room set up with their bunkbed and new mattresses. Then finish putting Macy's room together, the crib needs to be installed, the mobile hung up and the bedding, as well as some small finishing touches then we will be finished.

I have no pictures to post as our camera isn't focusing correctly and we just get blurry pictures. Hopefully we can fix that before Macy arrives... or can afford a new camera.
