We have a baby bird family living in an old hood vent outside of our kitchen window. It's sealed off inside so they can't get in...but boy can we hear them!
So can the cats. Wether the windows are open or closed we can hear them. As soon as I opened the windows this particular morning both cats jumped up and were trying to figure out where all the little "cheeps" were coming from.
Zach finished up his whiffle t-ball season
with his trophy.
We picked peaches at Linvilla Orchards.
finding the perfect peach!
yum!
brothers
This one was Daniel's idea. He actually was just going to let Jacob hold Zach on his shoulders but they were a little wobbly.
only sort of a fake smile.
Zach loved picking peaches.
Jake did too but he did tell me a few times that he thought we had enough!
We picked almost 17 pounds of peaches!
Then we picked raspberries!
They were pretty picked over so we didn't pick many.
We ended up with 1/2 pound. That was it!!
On Sunday we went to Baltimore to watch the Nationals play the Orioles.
Daniel thought it would be a lot of fun for the boys since Zach's whiffle ball team was the Nationals...pretty sure he was more excited about it than they were!
well before the game started!
yep....I'm huge at 39 weeks pregnant. HUGE. In the words of my grandpa Z, huge like Shamu. Thanks, pop!
Being silly. Yes, I was trying to get a picture of the 3 of them.
still huge!
Zach was happy with his bag of peanuts.
during the game.
Zach had a little bit of everything on his face...orange powerade, ketchup, nacho cheese...
Bernadette, Brandon, and Sammy got tickets too!!
goofing off. Jacob insisted Zach sit with him. They had the lady behind us cracking up.
After a while (and a gazillion potty trips for Zach) I took the boys down to the kids area...
they both played "air tee ball" as well as regular tee ball. There was a little playground area and a moon bounce (which I convinced them we didn't need to wait in line for since we have our own). I got them cotton candy since they were being so good....and we bought 3 bottles of water for $13.50.
We finally found Bernadette and Sammy in the kids area! (and this was the best shot of all 3 of them looking sort of in the same direction!)
after the game...waiting to run the bases. It was HOT! We were just waiting and waiting and waiting in line....however we were glad that we got in line when we did because we really weren't too far back and once the line started moving, we got our turn quickly!
Jacob running the bases.
Zach running the bases.
Parents weren't allowed on the field and we were actually a good distance away. I had a hard time finding them through the camera lens with the people that work for the stadium hurrying everybody along; not to mention that they were actually a good distance away from us since the field is so stinkin' big! I think Daniel got a little video on his phone so we'll have to see how that turned out! There should be fan photos available to order from the Orioles website too but I haven't had any luck with finding the pictures yet (well, it looks like they're not available yet even though they should be!).
The boys really had a good time running the bases!
Last night Daniel got one of the go-karts out to take the boys for a spin. I didn't take any pictures while they were zooming around on it but after Daniel was done they decided they'd try to start it themselves and ride. They tried hard but they weren't successful in getting it started...they did however decide that pushing it around the yard would be fun (well, after a little while of them doing it they decided Daniel pushing them around would be more fun!). Enjoy!
This one is my favorite. Not sure if it's the slight glare from the sun on the picture or what but I just LOVE it.
I love my life. It's hard to believe that it could get any better than it is with these 3.
but...
Tomorrow is baby day!!!!!!!
The boys are so excited. Zach keeps talking about how great being a big brother is going to be.
I'm so excited. Daniel's so excited. I think the dogs and cats are excited! (well, maybe not the cats)
My parents are scheduled to get here this afternoon and we're planning to go to Chesapeake City for dinner before our big day tomorrow! woooo-hooooooooo!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Surgery is scheduled for 11:15am and even though I've been through it twice before I'm still nervous. I absolutely can't wait to hear Emily's cry and count her fingers and toes. Children are truly a blessing and I am beyond thrilled to have our new little one here.
