Star Burst

More and more progress:) I saw this starburst mirror out this past week and just loved it. I am having so much fun working on this nursery. 87 days and counting :)

Tim's 25th

We had Tim over for his 25th birthday on Sunday. He has been such a good friend to us over these past few years and we just love him! We had 13 people over and it was a potluck as everyone brought something yummy. I made a dish of roasted broccoli and a sweet potato and quinoa dish that was to die for! Lots of yummy desserts to indulge in and great conversations. 

The Perfect Rug

Closer and closer, we are getting there with Tag's room. I found the perfect rug today and we got her furniture in. Now to focus on the decor. I am having fun with this;) 

Thanksgiving lunch

I had the pleasure of attending a Thanksgiving luncheon at Cy's  school this week. It was so nice. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to make it because I ha to teach. Luckily my schedule allowed for me to slip away for an hour. Brad couldn't make it due to his schedule so it was important for me bc I didn't want him to be the only one without a parent there. So, I made it. Cy was thrilled when I showed up. He made me sit with him at his little table and share lunch and dessert.  It was so nice to have that time with him. It did break my heart when I had to leave him but he seemed fine with it:) I love this time if year!!

6.5 Months

I am already 6.5 months along and can't believe it. This baby is growing like crazy! The pregnancy has been fine so far. I am just not a good pregnant woman. All and all, I am healthy and that makes me happy. I am up about 18 pounds which is about  4 pounds more than where I was with cy but it's to be expected. I ate a lot that first trimester and haven't been working out, at all. 

Tag is a busy bee. She is moving and shaking all the time...especially late at night and early in the morning. Scary. We are going to have to break her of that habit;) 

We are not doing pictures with this pregnancy because I know I won't do anything with them but I am going to get Brad to take some photos of my belly and Cy. I want them to be able to have those for later in life;) I will post them soon. 

Relay Foods

I have been meaning to get involved with Relay Foods since we got to Richmond so I finally put an order in last week. Relay gets local foods from local farms and delivers produce boxes to your house each week. It's all low spray and mostly organic and a good selection. This week we got kale, winter squash, salad greens, variety of potatoes, radishes (yuck), apples, Asian pears, broccoli, and some homemade apple cider. I am going to see if we eat it all before committing to a weekly delivery but so far I am excited. 

Costen Family Picnic

Sunday was the Costen family picnic in Hanover. I wasn't super excited about going because I had air of school work to do but it ended up being a blast. They had the most delicious fried chicken I have had in a long time. Thank goodness I am pregnant because I ate my weight in it;) There was an egg toss, ball toss, hammer and nail contest, face painting, a clown that made balloon animals, and karyoke. And, we got to hang out with Todd, Sallie, and the girls for the day, which rarely happens. We had a great time!!
