70 weeks pregnant and summer fun

   It's been quite a while since my last post. Life has a way of flying by! ESP with two little stinkers running around. Summer is officially in full bloom here and we are (mostly) loving it!:) The kids just keep growing and hitting different milestones. Especially Elise, babies tend to do that in this first year and it seems like it is flying. She started crawling a couple weeks ago and now is already getting ready to walk, pulling herself up on everything. Then promptly falling and getting hurt. Sometimes with a little help from bro!;) She's eating lots of big girl foods. We try to stay with mostly mushed up things as she tends to gag/ choke pretty easily. 
   My sweet baby James is going to be 3(?!?) in less than a month! It's so fun to watch them grow but is a little bittersweet as it happens so fast. Seems like just yesterday I was just about ready to give birth to him!:) he is still loving choo choo trains and is going to be having a thomas the train party this year. We are also so excited to be taking him to a neat play date in our area called "Day out with Thomas." You get to take a train ride on a Thomas train. He will be thrilled. We told him once he was potty trained he could take a train ride and so he's a bit overdue!;)

Here it is. 30 WEEKS!! Only 10 more weeks. Yay!! Can't wait to meet our baby boy! And yes,sadly, I can get bigger...and no there is only 1 in there. Promise!;) I've added it up. I am now a little shy of 70 weeks pregnant. With a little 2 month break inbetween. But that doesn't even count Bc I had to go through labor and delivery!;) this is no joke being this pregnant in the summer! Wowee

  We started on a project that we like to say just keeps giving. A month and a half ago we decided to bite the bullet and take our tub and surround down as there was some mold growing and we were having a hard time getting rid of it! The surrond was put in wrong so we had a small water leak going on. Not wanting it to get worse we took it out. Thankfully it was not to bad behind the tub. We (or should I say I;) thought since we already had the tub out now would be the perfect time to go ahead and put in our old cast iron claw foot tub that's been sitting in our basement. We had planned to do this project just not now! We tore out the closet and are moving the tub against the back wall making for a lot bigger bathroom. But there have been quite a few bumps in the road. Leaky plumbing, old radiator needing moved, plumbing needing moved, new floor, drywall, ect. Jess is such a trooper getting things done. We have our fingers crossed it will be semi done before baby comes!

  We woke up to a flood in the kitchen one morning. There was a lose pipe or something that got bumped and started leaking under the floorboard and we didn't notice till the next morning. Oh well, we are just thankful that it didn't happen after the tile was put down! I will try to remeber to post some pics as the project goes.
