May Showers (2009)

May was a busy and short at the same time. I really did nothing expect some basic pick up around the house. My mom kept Nathan for me on the occasionally weekend but he was still going to school during this time.
He enjoyed playing out in the backyard

going on some adventures with daddy

and being a busy boy around the house.



In the middle of the month the boys went up to NJ for Mike's sisters wedding and Nathan got to see his other grandparents, great grandparents and cousins. Except for getting sick during the last couple of days I think that the boys had a good time. I meanwhile stayed at home and tried to get as much rest as possible.









June is Hot Hot Hot



June was a rather busy month. We were busy unpacking things and planning for a visit from Mike's parents and grandparents. We were always planning to have our housewarming party near the end of the month too.


When the Kents came down we spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing the house







playing in the backyard.






Cooking out


and visiting downtown Nashville









and Lynchburg





It was a fun time had by all.

March to the Beat of the Drum

March was another low picture month. Nathan was enjoying school and my pregnancy was progressing well. I was busy packing things for our move because during the last part of February Mike and I did some more house hunting and found a house that we really liked. So we made an offer and got it. So we were set to sign everything on the 18th of March.

I volunteered at Nathans school's consignment sale and later went shopping at the same sale. I got Nathan some more clothes and this awesome bike. Since we were currently still living in the apartment he had no place to ride it outside. So I would take him to Centennial Park to ride it around. He always had a great time walking the bike around or being pushed on it. Afterward we would go play on the playground for a bit.

Since we were going to be getting a yard we decided to go to the Lawn and Garden show that is put on every year at the fairgrounds. Mike and I had a good time looking at all the flowers, garden and landscaping ideas. While Nathan enjoyed looking at all the tractors and baby ducks and chickens. He really enjoyed putting stickers on his head and eating the kettle corn that we got.


For St. Patrick's Day I got Nathan a little T-shirt that said "Kiss Me I'm Irish" and some little socks that looked like leprechaun boots. So I snapped some pics cause he was so cute.


On the 18th we signed the contract for our new house and started moving this in that weekend. With the help of my parents and several family friends we were able to get pretty much everything moved over that weekends. All that was left were a few piddly things and cleaning the apartment.

We quickly took to enjoying our new house and everyone was exhausted by the move.
