Baby #2

We just wanted to let all of our blog readers know that baby #2 is scheduled to arrive February 19, 2009. We are very excited and with the exception of weeks 6-9, I feel great. I am currently about 15 weeks pregnant so we'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the progress.

Golf

This weekend, we had the chance to get outdoors and enjoy the last of the summer days. Since Phil loves to play golf and Grace and I enjoy just hanging out with daddy and being outdoors, we had a win-win situation for some nice family time. Phil golfed while Grace and I tagged along, drove the cart, and enjoyed the great weather. Grace loved being on the course and especially enjoyed watching Phil play. She would get out of the cart when Phil teed off and putted to take him extra golf balls or pick up his tees......it was pretty cute.

Las Vegas

Phil and I got back from a 5 day trip to Las Vegas today. Given Phil's busy month of July with recruiting, his boss gave all the coaches a week off to just get out of the office to spend time with family before the hectic season starts. So, we decided to head to Las Vegas. Our good friends Hope and Dustin (see Rocho Family blog on my links) live in Vegas about 20 minutes NW of the strip. So, not only did we get to take a little time away for ourselves, we also got to visit with Hope, Dustin and their brand new baby girl, Trinity Love who was born August 6. She is healthy and beautiful. It was wonderful to hold a newborn baby again. It brought back a whole slew of memories from just 2 years ago. She was wonderful!

Hope and Dustin are incredibly generous and thoughtful. Would you all believe that when Dustin picked us up from the airport he suprised us with tickets for that evening to Cirque du Soleil's show "O" at the Bellagio. It was incredible. Phil and I had contemplated going prior to leaving Kzoo, but tickets were sold out when we looked into it and the cost was a bit overwhelming. Well, needless to say.....we went and it was amazing. I've never seen anything like it before in my life.

We were able to do and see a lot of neat things in just 5 days. We also were able to see another Cirque show, Mystere at Treasure Island. Mystere was also wonderful and we really enjoyed it. There are just so many details about our trip that I could include in this entry, but I'm already using so much space.

So....to close, I'll post a pic of sweet baby "TLove"....she is so cute!

Hanging out with Mom

Today Grace and I spent some time outdoors working in the yard. She is a good "helper" and enjoys picking up sticks and rocks for me. These are just some cute pictures I thought I'd post.

Fourth of July

This is the second year that we went to the Schoolcraft 4th of July parade. This year, Grace really enjoyed the parade! It was fun to watch all the kids. Emma and Maddie had the most fun collecting all their candy.
