Day of Rest

After a busy week and a half, we took today off to rest and relax. We discovered something new today too... corn! Keira planted this corn a couple months ago and now it's taller than either one of the kids. (It's taller than me too!)
Isn't this the cutest little corn cob ever?!
This has to be one of the strangest positions I've ever seen Andrew sleep in, but he got the good nap he was needing.

Noah and Abigail's Visit

This look seems ridiculous to me, but still very sweet.
We got to have a visit from some special friends yesterday. Noah and Abigail and Amy came by for a visit.

Edwards' Visit

My sister and her kids came to visit earlier this week. Here are some pics from the arboretum.






The 5 minutes of silence during the visit... reading time.

Mom and ELM's Visit

Princess Keira getting her manicure. I think she ended up getting about 5 layers of polish.
Andrew and Papa ELM working on...
their pirate ship!
I just thought this was pretty silly. Keira was wearing her Minnie Mouse dress and then dressed up as Minnie Mouse in her costume over it.
We also got to go swimming at the hotel with my mom and ELM. The kids both loved it!
Being in the pool with my kids always takes me back to swim lesson days. I loved teaching swim lessons! It's so cool to be able to teach my own kids.

Keira Sings

My two cuties.
Below is a video of Keira singing (partially anyway) "Jesus loves me." I love her sweet little voice!

30 Weeks

30 weeks! The baby is still very active and loves milkshakes. :) I hadn't realized how much bigger my belly was getting until I saw how big the flower is on this shirt now. Good thing it's a stretchy shirt!
Only 9 weeks to go and we'll be a complete family of 5!

Shortcake

Andrew and Keira picked some mint for mint lemonade the other day. It's so cute how much they're into gardening. Andrew's pre-school even has a garden that they help take care of.

On a different note, Andrew calls Keira the sweetest names. His usuals are "Sweetie" and "Hunny", but he will also call her "Shortcake" every so often. I love it!
