 The rhododendron bushes are in full bloom right now--what a display of God's creation! 

Pentecost Monday

Monday was a holiday here--Pentecost Monday.  We enjoyed being with our church family at a campground not far from here.  Everyone brought BBQ stuff and salads.  It is a time of playing volleyball, walking around and enjoying fellowship.

 

 

 

He wanted to play tennis so bad!  His idea of tennis is badminton racquets with a ping pong ball!

 

 

 

 

 

33 weeks

Feeling pretty good and the doc is happy with both of us!  Still trying to decide on his name....

A Long Weekend

This past Thursday was a holiday--Ascension Day.  That meant Andre was home!  Yeah!  And then Friday is what we call a Brückentag--a bridge day.  A day between the holiday and the weekend.  Most people take a day of vacation--and Andre did!  We visited some playgrounds and just enjoyed time together.  Elliot has been extremely tired lately and the new thing is laying in bed with him reading something.  I am glad to comply!

Doing stickers.

 

Showing all his stuffed animals.

Lion and Scarf are still the favorites.

 

Laying in bed reading the Bible.

 

  

Friday Afternoon

With Andre working the late shift, Elliot and I decided to go to the park a make bubbles.  He pronounces them "boobles"!  I sat in the grass and watched the show!  When a bubble makes it to the grass, he loves to jump on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

31 weeks

We are at 31 weeks today!  We went in for a check-up today and the baby is 1800 grams or 3 lbs., 16 oz.  Everything looks great and I am doing well.  Very thankful.

 

9 weeks to go!

Wildgatter

We got to go to the Wildgatter on May 1--that is Labor Day here.  A Wildgatter is basically a wildlife preserve.  They have animals living in their natural habitat--really neat!

 

You can pay 20 cents and get a handful of pellets that the children can feed to the animals--Elliot enjoyed it!

 

 

 

 

The deer that stood long enough for Elliot to feed her.

 

 

 

A little playground

 

 

 

They had little wagons--so nice!

 

 

The wolf.

12 years!

And it's our 12th anniversary!  Hard to believe that it has already been 12 years!  The time has flown by.  I am so thankful for my wonderful Christian husband and father of Elliot and Baby!
