Swinging

Isn't the placement on this swing hylerious. My parents got it for us on their last visit here and we already had hooks hanging from the porch so that is where it goes. Maeve loves it. She could swing for a long time (probably reminds her of the many hours of the day and night she spent in the infant swing) Recently though she has only wanted to swing when the neighbor boys are not outside to talk to. Brennan and Bean (Dean) are her recently boyfriends. Never mind that they are 3 to 7 years older than her. She loves them. I have to quickly get her into the house when we come home if they are outside or else I am stuck sitting outside watching her in 90+ degree weather. Once inside she happily talks to them through the window. We are just excited that she is not as antisocial as she was. 

Balboa bar

One of Michelle's and my adventures led us to Balboa Island for window shopping and the tasty Balboa Bar. Our ice cream was dipped in peanuts and toffee and was the best tasting thing ever. Adelle was very jealous when we came home and told the family what we did that day. She said she would want hers dipped in sprinkles. No surprise there. "But mom will never take me there" 

After adding to the weight we are carrying around we headed to the beach for boogie boarding. Alright women 7 months pregnant probably shouldn't be boogie boarding but it was lots of fun. Except the waves were much bigger at Newport Beach than Little Corona Del Mar where I am use to so we got beat up a bit. And maternity suits are not as tight fitting as regular suits so some people on the beach may have gotten flashed. I am sure that we were great entertainment. At one point I did a somersault underwater and was unsure if I would surface.  A week later I had some preterm labor and had to spend a few hours in the hospital. Not sure if it is related. I didn't mention the boogie boarding to my midwife. 

Pregnant Sisters

My sister, Michelle, came to visit for her birthday over Labor Day weekend. What a nice husband that would send her kid free for her birthday present! She is due 3 days before me.  Here are a few photos Joel took of us. I'll have to blog about our adventures when I'm not suppose to be making dinner!

Old Blog

For those that want to see our old posts, pictures, or videos our other blog is still available. I just won't be adding to it. Here is the link: www.homeschoolblogger.com/RYP

Daddy's Little Girl

Joel leaves for class and Maeve chases him down the street crying or stands at the door screaming for half an hour. I leave and she won't even stand up from her toys to kiss me goodbye. What can we say she is daddy's little girl. 

New blog again

So I set up this blog several months ago when I was frustrated with the limited photos I could post on our homeschool blogger site but then a friend told me about photobucket.com and that solved the photo issues for awhile. But now I can't add any photos at all to my homeschool blogger site so i am officially moving to blogspot. Hopefully blogspot.com isn't too hard for me to figure out.
