Catching Up

1. Men-less Martinis

Last night the women in our family started a new tradition.  We hope to get together a few times a year just to celebrate life and each other.  Last night was our first one and it was a BLAST.  I was laughing so much that I was hoping to go into labor.  I haven't laughed that much in a long, long time.  

I had to take a picture of the table of food.  We all just brought stuff and randomly...we essentially brought the same thing.  Two white cakes, two fruit platters, and two cheese plates...that even had the same cheese.  So grateful for such a great night.

2. Babyshower
Before the party I went to Shelby's baby shower.  It was great.  I wanted to make sure to take a picture since we have experienced this entire pregnancy together.  Working so closely and being due 10 days apart has made life easier for me. Anyways, Shelby looks amazing in the picture with her fresh hair, spray tan, and nails and I look pretty beastly.  Regardless -- it is what it is and I want to make sure we capture this time.

I was able to enjoy a beer at the shower.  I must say -- I really felt like I was having an actual beer.

3. Anniversary Gift
I think that I already touched on this topic on the blog.  Mike got me an awesome map for our anniversary.  We are putting pins on all of the places that we have been together for an actual trip...not just visiting family.  After adding the pins it has REALLY made me want to plan our trip for this year.  I have started looking at an all-inclusive for the family.

4. Birthday cards
This week we had to do some cards for Mike's family.  Cameron was in charge of Aunt Lauren's card.  So after writing, "Happy Birthday Love, Cameron Owen JackJack" he added a sticker and was finished.  But not exactly finished. He said, "I want to send her some money."  I asked how much.  He said after much thought, "two."  So we also sent Lauren $2.

5. Catching up
It has been a wonderful weekend with Mike home.  The boys had a sleepover with Henry and with my busy weekend Mike was able to spend a lot of "boy time" with Cameron and Owen.  We are anxiously awaiting Jack to arrive.  I try to send Mike some belly pictures throughout the week and this is one of them.  I look tall and huge...like a pregnant giant.  haha

 This is the lego star wars ship that we finished putting together this week.  We had two snow days so along with playdates we had a lot of time at the house.  This lego ship is huge and we have had many hours of play with it already.

She is done with radiation.  Yay!!!
