Week in Pictures

well, almost. Here is Noah and his buddy Issac at football camp.

This is Noah encouraging (he does that a lot) his friend Mason.

and taking off in a sprint...

running around a bat...


gotta love the headband


We showed up to watch the scrimmage, but found out the scrimmage was that morning. This is what happens when notes are given to daddy. We got there for the very brief award ceremony. Elijah was tired.

He had a great time.

Abigail and Elijah, pre-scalping.



Post-scalping. I'd gone out for the day to look for a prom location. Came home to a child with a lot less hair. I wasn't against it getting cut, but I sure didn't want it ALL cut off :( I like little tykes with hair.

I knew he'd look drastically older with less hair. I wasn't ready for that when I walked in the door. Of course, he's still cute.
And here is another cutie. Elijah has started doing this "shine" pose where he holds his hands out like this and says "shine." He just did it one day when watching Blue's Clues and got lots of laughter. So now he does it a lot. Abigail did it for the picture.

This is the tree we planted when we built the house. It has grown well. Wish the tree (tulip tree) in the backyard grew as well. We need shade back there and it has hardly done a thing.

Got my baby limelight hydrangeas in the ground finally. If they take off like the mother plant, I'll have them all along the side of the house in no time.
I feel the baby moving constantly now. I used to only feel it when I was still (not often). Now it doesn't matter what I'm doing, I feel the little fella squirming around in there. I feel pretty good for the most part, but am getting headaches every once in a while and heartburn almost every night. I had a bad headache Thursday for 7 hours. After dinner David took the kids out and I laid down to watch Gilmore Girls. Headache went away while I was laying down... but I got up after that to clean up the kitchen and it returned. It stayed til I went to bed. I hope I don't get too many more like that one. I don't like to take anything when pregnant. I know tylenol is supposedly safe, but it doesn't do squat on a headache, so I don't see the point in even taking that.
I need to know the secret to getting people out of lurkdom. If y'all read this, say howdy :)
