28 Weeks

Here are a few "belly pics"! The first is four weeks ago (24 weeks) and the second is from today 28 weeks!! Yeah!! So excited to be in my 3rd trimester and almost to the home stretch! I had a check-up this week and everything is looking good. I'm measuring about 2 weeks ahead (this is not a science) and at this point my Dr said not to be concerned. If I am still measuring big on my next apt she will do a sonogram just to check the size of baby and everything else! She also promised me I am NOT having a 10lb baby! Baby's heart rate was 150 (the highest it has been in months!) so keep guessing!! ;0)

The last picture is William this morning passed out on the couch; poor guy was not feeling great with a runny nose and cough!!

Beach House

We have been spending the long weekend at a beach house on base; and LOVING every minute of it!! The weather has be just wonderful and thankfully Hurricane Earl did nothing more than a little rain and barely any wind!! Here are a few pictures that I have taken of the kids and Bill and a link to more on our web site. Enjoy!

Syracuse Visit and Beach

These are a few random pictures that I just got off of my camera! At the end of July we traveled to Syracuse to say goodbye to my Grandfather O'Brien. It was an unfortunate set of circumstances, but a great opportunity to see our family and spend some quality time together. The beach pictures are from Lejeune, and as you can see the kids LOVED being buried in the sand!

I'm including a link to an amazing story about my Grandfather's time in the US Army. He truly was a facinating man; and I have no doubt there are stories he took with him that legends are truly made of!

First Day of School

William and Lillian began their new school years this week! William began 2 year old preschool on base and is absolutely loving it!! He is going 3 days a week, and comes home every day saying all the fun he did including "played with his friend Luke"!
Lillian began Pre-K and so far is loving being a "big kid" at a big kid school! She is so excited to be back at school, and I just hope it continues!!
