Look Mom No Hands!

This was another busy weekend getting ready for LBR. Neal refinished my childhood toy chest and stained it to match the baby furniture and I continued to make more room in his closet. (I think I have done more cleaning out in weeks that my entire life!)

Sunday we picked up the car seat (Thanks to Neal's mom) and enjoyed the rest of the day watching the Red Sox and O's.



Neal decided to take a picture of one of my latest tricks, a new handy glass rest. (Instructions not included)

Busy 4th of July Weekend!

We kicked off the long July 4th weekend with a BBQ in Woodbridge with our friends, Heather and Trevor Browne. Heather and Trevor are expecting their first child in late November too! The Browne's are just one of several good friends who are expecting their first this year.
Congrats to: Josie and Bob Morris due in late August, Katie and Jon Werner (Neal's sis and brother in law) due in early September, Christine and Alex Papadopoulos due in early November and Courtney and Mike Barry due Christmas Eve!

Sarahbeth and Heather

Who is this adorable little baby you ask?

Saturday afternoon was spent with our good friends, Sarah and Sean Connors in Bethesda, MD. Neal is trying to get some practice time in with their daugther Caroline.

Ok, you have been asking for it!

Here is an updated picture of my growing belly from the weekend. I have now hit 26 weeks and LBR is becoming more and more active everyday. I am convinced he is busy strategizing his escape route for October :)

LBR's New Digs!

LBR's new crib and dresser came Saturday afternoon! Neal put the crib together in record time and now LBR has the nicest furniture in the house. Here are a couple of pictures of his room, including a shot of a new friend.
