Dave's Party

Looking spiffy before Dave's graduation party.

Both boys showing off their pearly whites.

Baxter was sleeping like this for some reason??

First snow storm!

Dave's party was a lot of fun. We had a great turnout and everyone seemed to have a good time. I ordered way too much food, but oh well...better to have too much that not enough. Lots of laughs and drinks...and Dave had a well-deserved late night with his friends. My parents came down at the last minute because they had a funeral to go to of a very close friend's mother (Diane and Bill). Our prayers are with the Koskis during this time. It was very nice to have Mom & Dad there even though it was a quick trip.

I spoke too soon about working out keeping the back soreness away, because it has definitely kicked in. After standing around visiting last night it was sore...and it's been sore on and off for the past couple of weeks. I bought a heating pad/massage thing that helps. It's mainly just hard at night trying to find a comfortable position to sleep.

I will be 28 weeks on Thursday...officially into my third trimester. Hopefully things continue to go well. Everyone else seems to think the pregnancy is going by quickly...but to me three months still seems like a long time to wait!! :) The baby is still very active. Dave got to feel a very strong kick last week, I think he was surprised at how strong it was. He said "Wow! Lyla's mad!" (he thinks we are having a girl). But it was pretty neat.

I also go back to the doctor on Tuesday...regular check-up and getting my glucose checked. I'm sure it will be uneventful once again...which is a good thing.

OK, that's about all for now...we are off to lower MI on Saturday morning for almost a week, I can't wait! Dave, Ethan and I are all very excited to have a week off of work and just relax with family. And I can't wait to meet my little nephew, Sam. Less than week I'll finally get to see him! :-)

Merry Christmas and safe travels to everyone!
