4th of July and Baby Update

We had a very fun and busy 4th of July Weekend! Saturday we hit the carnival in Annandale for some greasy food and a few rides. It was soooo hot and humid that day! Landon loved the rides again, and didn't even cry when he had to get off like last time. Daddy had to ride on most of the rides with him.

This picture turned out kinda dark, but from left to right are Darren and Landon, Ashley and Jackson, and Jess and Lilly.

He was a brave boy and did the train all by himself! Just chillin' and watching everyone else.

I got to go on one ride...barely! I figured I could take Landon on the carousel, but the ride operator told me the only way I was going to ride was if I sat on the bench. No fun! Can you tell we're just totally enjoying ourselves?

After the carnival, we headed out to the lake for the rest of the day. Lots of family and friends were able to make it out and a great time was had by all! Landon just loves his little baby cousin Blake. I can only hope that he will love his new sister this much when she comes.


On Sunday, we were off to the parade. After picking up some carnival food first, of course. Here's Landon enjoying some greasy french fries.

Did I mention how hot and humid it was all weekend? It was miserable for me, but I made it through with the help of my a/c at home each night.


We had to get a group shot of the cousins on the curb at the parade, even though none of them wanted anything to do with it, especially poor little Blake! This was the best shot I got. It's crazy to think that two years ago it was just Jackson and Lilly, last year we added Landon to the picture, this year was Blake, and next year there will be five kiddos! My mom and dad wanted grandkids...here you go! Five in less than three years.


**Baby Update: I don't have much news to report from my dr. appt. yesterday. My dr. is out of town all week so I saw a nurse/midwife. I was still dialated to 1 cm and 30% effaced. I guess for second babies, most of the progress happens during labor, not before. Baby is still posterior. The midwife told me not to be concerned at all about that. She said that most babies will turn during labor into the correct position. My next appt. is next Thursday. Today we are off to a pool party at Kerry's mom's house in Annandale.
