Busy Summer!
We have been going non-stop since my last post! We had so much fun in WV in May, that Jason and I decided that this would be the "Summer of the Grammies", almost literally. Audrey and I are wrapping up a two week stay at my mom's, and after flying home Saturday, we'll drive to West Virginia to spend two weeks with Jason's mom.
There actually has been talk of flying back up to my mom's for another week in August so she can take a trip to Wyoming. Totally nuts, but Audrey and I are loving it.
The only downside is, of course, spending SO MUCH TIME away from Jason! He was sort of wanting to save his vacation days for the end of the year with the new baby coming, but I think he may take a few days or even a week to come spend time with us and the rest of his family in West Virginia.
As of Monday, I am officially half-way through this pregnancy. Hip-hip-hurray! Unbelievably, I'm still getting waves of nausea here and there, but it's hard to complain now that I'm feeling the baby wiggle and tap around in my tummy several times a day - such a miracle!
Our week here at mom's has been marvelous. As you can see, Audrey is quite the little water baby. She is totally into the kiddie pool and ducky sprinkler that Grandma got for her. We've been out on the front patio almost every day. 
The other major highlight of our trip has been hanging out with this guy:
No WONDER Val is talking about another baby already - Dominic is an absolute doll! I was here about a week before I even heard him cry, and boy was it for a good reason - cousin Audrey grabbed the bottle right out of his hands!
Thankfully, that has been their only major squabble ... overall Audrey has been very gentle and sweet with her baby cousin. She is 18 months, and he is 5. Can't wait to see how she handles a tiny newborn in November!
Check back next week - I'll post more pics from our trip when we get home. :)
