Spring has arrived in PA

i've been a terrible blogger.  please forgive me.

shreveport baby shower:

AWESOME!  i have an amazing extended family.   everything, the whole weekend, was perfect (with the exception of the heat and humidity causing some swelling - it made me glad to be pregnant in a cooler climate).  got to spend time with olivia and go bridesmaids dress shopping for becca's wedding.  also, got to visit john's grandmother and see a lot of my side of the family that i hadn't seen in a while. 

Thanks, Aunt Bitsy!

Thanks, Aunt Julie, Aunt Jay, Kristen, Megan, Erin, Jenna, Mitzi, and Cynthia!

Thanks, Ms. Steph!

Thanks, Mom!

it was SO fun coming home (PA) and with everything having been delivered while i was in louisiana! 


maternity pics with olivia:  (31 weeks)

unfortunately, laying on my back really flattened out my belly pretty much.  o well!  it was still fun!  thanks, liver.


33 week belly pic:

john's mom spent part of last week with us.  she brought the hot weather with her because it was in the 80s while she was here, and then when she left a cold front came through, and it's been in the 60s since.  we went shopping for gardening tools and got started working in our flower beds.  our poor yard looks (and has been) neglected.  our sweet, sweet neighbors have mowed our yard the last 2 weeks for us since we don't have a mower yet.  

i'm still working on the master bedroom...gotta finish up some small details in the nursery before i post any pics.  :-)
