summer fun

I can't believe that it's already near the end of July and summer will soon be over! Here are some recaps from the last couple of months:

* Siblings are moving! Tim and his dad spent this weekend riding halfway across the country and back helping his brother, Matt and his fiance, Kelly, move from Washington DC to Chicago. We're so excited that they will be closer! My sister, Andrea, moved to Grand Rapids and my sister, Tara and her husband, Mark (and baby Myles!) moved from California to Cincinnati, Ohio! We're planning on visiting them next weekend!!

* "Romper/Grasshopper" Update: We were able to hear the heartbeat again at our doctor's appointment just over a week ago and we have our ultrasound scheduled for Augsut 23 where we'll find out how well "Romper/Grasshopper" is growing and if it will be a he or a she!!

* Jess and I enjoyed a great 26th birthday week complete with a nice dinner early in the week courtesy of my parents. To end the week, my sweet hubby made me feel special with a dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Snug Harbor, a beautiful card/note, some shopping time and a bag of my favorite indulgence...Dove dark chocolates!! :)




* We enjoyed meeting up with a group of friends for our annual camping weekend at Hoffmaster State Park in June. We had such a great time. We also enjoyed making memories with these same friends on Memorial Day up at my parent's cabin where 3 of us revealed that we were pregnant!

* Our CABLE group threw a baby shower for our friends, Nate and Jenni, who are having a baby girl in August...after having 4 boys! We're so excited for them!

Nate obviously loving the baby food being fed to him by Jenni during one of the games we played. :)

* A friend from Hope, Corrie, got married to an awesome guy named Phil on 7/7/07! We had a great time celebrating with them!





* Another friend from Hope, Colleen, and her hubby, Johnny, had a precious baby boy, Trey, on June 18th! We're so happy for you guys!!
