some pregnancy photos

Here are a few pictures Bryan and I took last week.
I also need to take my 8th month pic, which I will post soon.

summer fun in Iowa!

Lots of game playing!

Bryan was able to share his new talent of the year: solving a Rubics Cube, with his neice Molly.
Fun afternoons in the pool. It was wild in there :o)

We spent an afternoon at the zoo with the nephews. It was really fun. Lots of neat animals and an elephant show with elephants on loan from CA :o)

On the fourth the neightborhood here had a fun kids parade and the adults on the side threw candy at the kids. Slightly reversed from usual, but the kids had a blast!

seven month photos

Only two more months to go now! I'm 30 weeks now, wow!

It seems that my belly is getting a lump on the top, strange :o) Not so rounded anymore. It's okay for it to be moving up though, has been sitting really low for a long time.

big bellies!

Rachel and I with future best friends :o)

6 month pictures

The room for the baby's stuff...

I can't quite call it the baby's room, becuase I doubt it will do much sleeping there. We plan to have this one in our room with us until our adopted child arrives... But, I have had a blast this week organizing and making it cute :o) It was the last room in the apartment to be settled, so it feels nice to have the whole house set now! We will put the crib together when we get back in Aug. Maybe the baby will take naps there :o)

We've been in our new place about 6 weeks now and things are really looking good! We've painting in the living areas and bedroom and made new curtains for those places as well. It's been a fun project and really our first time decorating a new house together!

One side of our living room. New paint job! Bryan did fantasitic!
The other side.
Part of the dining area and view into the kitchen.
Our very bright bedroom! We love it.
