Vacation 2011

I figured it was time to post some of our vacation pictures!

We ventured down the shore again this year back to our regular house and, as always, had a wonderful time spending the week just steps from the beach and Wawa!  Each year the kids seem to love the beach a bit more, although this year I think Nicholas really took the lead and embraced every bit of wave and sand that he could!  Addison is not a huge fan of the heat, and really never has been, so the beach could be a bit much for her but she LOVED building sand castles.  The best part is that now that we're home all she talks about is going to the beach and being in the waves!!

I didn't take nearly as many pictures this year as I have in the past.  I spent the majority of the week in a sand chair right at the water's edge.  It was quite HOT and considering I have two heat makers inside of me, I really couldn't run after the kids for pictures or for much of anything!  The pictures I was able to get were pretty good!  I'm looking forward to next year when we'll be able to take tons of pictures of all FOUR kids!!

Almost 25 Weeks

Well, we're back from another great beach vacation with our entire family!  The kids had a great time, Nicholas more than Addison since he is positively in love with the waves and boogie boarding.  Addie likes the beach but isn't super great in the heat.  Luckily, there's the boardwalk to occasionally entertain her.

I'll have pictures up soon!

In other news, things are moving right along!  Today we went to get Nicholas' new school uniform since he'll be changing schools- as will Addie- come September.  Plus, Nicholas has been in goalie camp this week and absolutely LOVING it!  He is a HUGE soccer fan...much to my dismay!  Addie has been tagging along with me everywhere this week.  She had the special treat of coming with me to my ultrasound yesterday.  She got to hear her sisters' heartbeats and see them on the screen.  She wasn't overly impressed..... 

The girls are doing quite well, measuring just under 2 pounds.  Baby A is head down and lovingly pushing on my bladder.  Baby B is transverse and ever so kindly pushing my stomach into my lungs and my lungs into my....well...there's nowhere for them to go at this point!  But the girls are healthy and growing really well so that is really all that matters!! 

The ultrasound pictures weren't all that great but I did manage to snap a picture of myself for those of you who have been begging for "belly shots".  I've included it for your viewing pleasure at the bottom.

August will be over in no time!  I know a lot you don't like that but believe me, I'm ready.  I'm ready for the heat to be done and to move right through September and in to October!!  It looks like the girls will be here by Halloween, which we are super excited about!  Right now, I'm very much about getting everything ready from making sure we have enough diapers and bottles to starting to pack my hospital bag!  I want to make sure that we're all set once I head back to work because who knows when I'll have the time or the energy to do any of it!!

Amidst all the craziness, we are enjoying these last moments of Summer and really will be sad to see another Summer come and go so quickly.  But Fall brings with it so many new and exciting events and blessings that maybe this year we're pretty ok with saying goodbye to Summer!!
