Eric's total randomness...

Eric figured out how to post pictures to my blog from his cell phone so he's been messing around with that all day. I don't even know what to say about this picture...

Turkey Trot!

Nate ran his first race today! He ran the 200 meter dash (1/2 a lap around the field) in the annual Turkey Trot at the high school. He did awesome! He was so focused and proud of himself when he finished. Nate came in 4th or 5th but all the kids got a participation ribbon, a doughnut and hot chocolate (yeah that was the highlight for me too!) Maybe it's all the hormones but I got teary eyed when I saw him out there with all the other kids doing something all on his own. Nate told me after the race he was pretending to be Starscream (a transformer for those of you who don't have little boys) and that is what gave him the strength to run so fast! Gotta love the superhero complex!

That's Nate in the orange shirt closest to the camera.

Just Nates size.

Showered

I am so lucky to have great friends! I was given a baby shower this weekend, and it was so much fun. I really enjoyed just having a day to think about and celebrate this baby (still no name, sorry...I hate calling her "the baby" too!). All of my friends and family are so generous, I seriously don't deserve all the adorable things I got. Thank you Alison for hosting the best baby shower I've ever been to! We waited a long time for her to join our family and it was so fun to celebrate the fact that she is going to be here in just a few short weeks!

Everyone always wants a belly picture...so here it is! This is why I don't do pictures!
