10 Day Countdown

The real countdown is officially ON!! Starting today there are only 10 days til my due date! We are so ready to meet little baby Julie! I just had a great joint baby shower with Melissa, put on by some friends from church. It was a ton of fun and Linda and Steph made these super adorable favors for the guests.



Its now time to start walking, doings stairs, running? Whatever it takes to usher lil Julie into the world- we are ready for her!
I dont have a Doc appt til Thurs and havent been in for almost 2 weeks so who knows if I'm progressing or not at this point! Not that pregnancy and birth has any real rhyme, reason, or ways of knowing when baby is coming anyways!!

Steph and Family

It has been so fun to have Steph in town! Her family is finally saying goodbye to NYC and moving to California now that Blake is done with school. And we are so glad she could stop by with the kids for a visit!


We have been so busy having fun and spending time with her and the rest of the family these past weeks.


The weather has been perfect for daily trips to the beach,


sitting on the steps of the train bridge (Lizzie gets so excited about the passing trains)


and just enjoying the sun!

All the little summer festivals have been great too! Lizzie is in heaven with so many cousins around lately. She asks me everday, "Grammy, Papa, Addy, Katie, Noah, Jamie, Jason, Stephy, Evy, Dane, baby Grant, and Mikey?" Its usually a random combination of these names and sometimes she goes for asking for every single name. Aaron and Michelle have been out of town for a while but sometimes she'll even throw in a, "baby June?"
