Home again

Well, we are back home in Arkansas.  I definitely have mixed feelings about being back.  I like sleeping in my own bed, but I miss being around our families already.  Elisa asked for Papa, Hamma, and Hammy (Grandpa, Grandma, and Grammy) today... so I think she misses everyone too.  Here's a little slideshow of some (but not nearly all) of the highlights from the summer... 

Also, I couldn't ignore Anna's requests for prego pictures any longer... I definitely am starting to look very pregnant.  This picture was taken a week ago (at 30 weeks)... 

I'm feeling well.  The nauseau is finally behind me and my energy is coming back.  Only two months to go until the due date!  Still no name ideas... we are really going to have to get going on that.  Any suggestions?  It's a boy.  The middle name will be Gregory.  We want it to be longer than one syllable.  We also prefer that it be definitely a boy's name (not gender neutral).

Summer so far...

Well, we're off to a great summer.  We've been in the Northwest for about a month now and we've been having a lot of fun with friends and family.  It's been really good to see Elisa interact with her grandparents, aunt, uncle and friends.  

Greg and I also got to take our first vacation without Elisa (thanks to my parents).  It was just a two night trip to Seattle for our anniversary.  We had a great time!  

Here are some fun pictures from our vacation so far...

Elisa had a great time at the "spray park" on a particularly hot day.

Happy Fourth of July!  Homemade Ice Cream - Yum!
