Oh, Hail NO!

We get some nasty storms here in the summers. A couple of weeks back we were hit hard by 3 hail storms in one night. We woke up all night long listening to the pounding hail. I was shocked we didn't have broken windows. The next morning, we woke up to this aftermath....

The kids had fun playing and digging in the hail piles and we had piles of leaves. The flowers and trees were looking so nice, but now are pretty pitiful.

For baby updates, my neighbors put together a little baby shower at a local breakfast place. We left the kiddos and enjoyed a couple hours of good food and good conversation. I feel honored to have such great friends and neighbors.

(One friend had to leave early. I am sad I missed her photo, but here we are after all the yummy pancakes and such!) I was 34 weeks along in this photo.

I am feeling great. I am 35 weeks now and though I get tired, not too much to complain of yet! We actually hiked 3 miles this weekend, including a good mile of climbing. Despite a few contractions, all went well! The biggest complaint I have is my swollen left ankle. It's at least double the size of the right and I swear I've gained 3 pounds from just the swelling in there!

We are still working on Baby's room, but getting closer. The big boys are settling into their new shared room (still need to get a photo on here). Every job has created more jobs, so we are busy organizing and cleaning and purging stuff! Kevin has been home a lot more with his job winding down and it's been nice to be all together hanging out and working hard this summer.
