September

September has rolled in on us and found us extremely busy. We are all grateful to have such wonderful family and friends to keep us entertained! We had a wonderful long weekend in Minnesota with Mike, Emily, Anna, Willie, and Jacob's Grandmother and family. Mike and Emily are always such generous hosts and we all had a great time running around Minnesota and watching the kids play together. Anna and Curtis got along beautifully and were the best of friends by the time we left. In fact poor little Anna cried the entire way to drop us off at the airport because she knew that meant Curtis was going to leave...too sweet! Little Willie is such a fantastic little guy with nothing but smiles and laughs all the time. We keep telling Mike and Emily that they are really in for it with their next kiddo seeing how well tempered and easy going their first two have been :). We thank God daily for their awesome friendship and look forward to seeing them again soon! Jacobs Grandmother is doing wonderfully. She is such a sassy lady and time has not slowed her down one bit! We got to spend quite a bit of time with her this trip and we all love our GiGI!
As you can see from our pictures I am getting REALLY BIG! I can hardly believe we have less than 12 weeks to go. We are all getting super anxious to meet our little man and are especially grateful to have so many distractions between now and then to keep Mommy from nesting 24/7! Curtis, Nana, and Mommy are headed to Illinois on Friday to visit with some family. Should be a great time to see everyone and we are all ready for the gorgeous weather! During the week Curtis and Mommy have started our new St. Francis Nature Club which meets at various parks in the area each week with a science/nature themed unit for the kids. This week we read the Very Grouchy Ladybug and took our magnifying glasses out on the hiking trails looking for bugs. We are so blessed to have so many like minded kids and parents so close to our house!

I think that just about covers everything lately. There probably will not be too many posts in the next 12 weeks. Mommy is starting to feel very big and very tired and Curtis is almost ready to give up his nap time...this could be a dangerous combo! Happy Wednesday! Be sure to check out all of our pictures from all the above mentioned activities!
