Tick Tock Tick Tock

The past few weeks have been busy with house guests, house work, and . . . waiting! :-) I think the last month of pregnancy is the hardest part. We're ready for baby now (as ready as we're going to be), I'm pretty sure there's NO more room for him to grow in my belly, and now we're just playing the waiting game. We've been finding plenty to do around the house to keep ourselves busy (cleaning out closets, working on some projects, cooking and cleaning) but the anticipation of meeting our little man is always there.



The last week in June our friend Christine and her little boy Luke were here. We had such a good time with them, Luke is 8 months old and so much fun! I took care of him two days while Christine was working and we had a blast. (Nanny B was once again a great help). He even tried out a few of our baby things (toys, towels, bathtub) for us and they met both baby and Mommy approval! Here are few pictures from their visit.





















The weekend of July 4th we went to Manatee Springs with a group of friends on Sunday and had a blast picnicking, swimming, and walking on the board walk. We celebrated the 4th with a cookout at home with the Gaters, then watched the NYC fireworks on TV since Gainesville didn't have any this year.

Last weekend Mark and I went to The Ivy House Restaurant in Williston. We were given a gift certificate there for Christmas and decided it would be a fun date before baby arrives. It was a beautiful drive through the country followed by a delicious meal! We'll definitely be taking visitors back there in the future!

We've also been busy watching the Tour de France and the Women's World Cup . . . the US vs. Brazil game kept us on the edge of our seats for a few hours this weekend and we're hoping for another US/ Sweden match up for the finals! Go Team USA!

Time to get to work for the day so until next time . . .
