~Memorial Day Weekend~

This weekend has been filled with lots of hard work! We have spent most of our time in the yard & gardens. Doug has always wanted a vegetable garden & now that we have the space for one he has been in heaven! He started is seeds a couple months ago & kept them in the basement & he has now been able to transplant them into our gardens. I had to beg him to leave me some room for flowers! :)Doug also spent a lot of time powerwashing our deck to get the old chipped stain off & then he put a waterproof finish on it. It looks great!


I'd say we are now officially ready for summer! Of coarse, being married to a Mr. Fix It means that the projects are never over. :)

We decided that Monday would be a day of FUN! No work, just play. So that is exactly what we did. We went up to Crystal Beach in Canada with our friends the Shaheens. It was a perfect day too! Not too hot, but just right. It was little Lilly's first adventure to the beach & she was absolutely adorable! It was making me really excited to have my own little guy. We had a great holiday weekend!

Oh, and here is another update on baby/belly progress. I had a doctors appointment on Friday & everything seems to be just great! I have now moved into my 3 week visits versus 4 weeks. I guess that means I'm getting closer right!?

24 weeks

Okay, you look great! I love the bump... so cute. When are you in town? I can't wait to see cute Rachel prego. I'm glad you had a great weekend... could Doug come over when you are in town and do some fixin' at my house? Oh and I started my garden but I only have tomoatoes, Costco didn't have anything else. It was too overwhelming to go to another store to get anything else with 2 kids. Miss ya.
