Dance Pictures

Saturday, May 31, 2008

Brynn's recital is getting closer and closer and she's getting more and more excited each day! Last night was picture night. It was so much fun to see the girls get in their costumes and make-up and see each other all made up for the first time. It was a a great, chaotic, exhausting two hours. Brynn was a trooper and was thankfully very well behaved!







Memorial Day

Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I wish I could say I spent most of the day actually remembering those who have served and died for our country and praying for the families that miss them. It was mostly a day to get more housework done, spend more time with Brynn, and have some friends over for games...May God continue to comfort those who mourn over lost loved ones. May God continue to be with those who are still actively serving our country. I still shudder over the tragedy of 9/11. Let each day be better than the previous.

I am truly grateful to be able to live in a country that I can play with my precious child outside without any imminent fear of being harmed. Thank you for those that serve to protect that freedom.



Hodge-Podge

So, it's been a few weeks already since my last post. Things are busier than ever around here. Work never seems to slow down nor the people leaving!...I was blessed (I think!) this week to be promoted from the Associate Director of Financial Aid to actual Director of Financial Aid. It's a ton of responsibility but I think I am up for the challenge.

Matt is busy at work too and working some extra hours. He finally is getting to some of the 'real' work he was hired for. He'll also be doing some side work for a company he used to work for.

Pregnancy is going well. I am 21 weeks now, over halfway there! I had another check-up this week which was the first since my ultrasound 2 weeks ago. My dr said the ultrasound report was great, the heart looked great, my weight gain in right on, great blood pressure. I am truly grateful that I have been blessed with a healthy pregnancy so far and praying that all continues to go well! I do have so much pressure though, ugh. The little guy is quite active and moves around a lot and you can even see and feel it. The last two days I felt like I needed to eat all day long (and pretty much did) and I can definitely tell the belly has grown, he must be in a big growth spurt right now.

Brynn keeps us on our toes and never without laughter. She says the silliest things and tells the greatest stories. It's such a joy to listen to her! She is a month away from her dance recital and we are all getting excited. She got her costume last week. It is SO cute. She'll also have a veil that she will wear. She has tried it on twice and we played her song, Chapel of Love, so she could practice. I think she did it pretty well. I am looking forward to her getting her professional costume pictures done soon.
