Update!















Well
we haven't posted any new blogs lately so I figured I'd give a little update on what we've been doing this summer thus far. It's hard to believe that it's almost the Fourth of July! It feels like summer just started here and there really haven't been too many good beach days yet. We need to start getting out there before it's too late!
On June 14th we went to Appleton to celebrate Annie and Brent's wedding reception at Brent's parent's house. It was a great time with a amazing food and lots of it! I can't often eat so much at once but I was able to eat and eat and eat all day. It was fantastic. Esme had a blast running around with the other kids, she's really getting to be so big. It's strange that we can just let her run around now and only check on her every once in awhile.
On June 22nd we made a trip to Iola in the morning to see our new sweet cousin Zoe Newton be baptized in Honey's church. Then in the afternoon we went to New London to have a going away celebration for our aunt, uncle, and cousin MaryAnn, Doug and Laura Kate who will be leaving for Armenia at the end of July. It was nice party with good conversations and yummy grilled food. It down poured on us for awhile so we were stuck inside, but the clouds ended up moving away and we were able to play outside with chalk and bubbles with Esme, Henry and Lucy.
I haven't been having the most pleasant pregnancy but it's still great none the less. I feel sick a lot of days and I think I am growing at a much faster rate than I did when I was pregnant with Esme. I am currently almost 32 weeks and I just feel HUGE! I will add a picture of the ever-expanding belly of mine. It looks like our names are down to Scarlett, Lily, Violet or Elise. Although Esme is always coming up with new ones like Kelsey, and Do-da, and Ach-ee and all sorts of silly ones.

Esme the Ballerina




Our little Ballerina! Esme is pretty sad
that dance class is over but the YMCA
only offers a class this summer for children
who are at least four years old. So for now she
likes to wear her "leotarts" and practice
what she knows. We will have to enroll
her in the fall when they offer it again
for her age group.
