So I have been MIA

I was called out on my lack of blogging, so here I go.  This summer, which sadly is officially over, was a crazy hectic exciting time in our household.  I did not travel quite as much because we had P every other week.  When we have P, I am the one who stays home with him while J is at work. Thank goodness I have such a flexible job and can do office days at home.  It rained a lot, so we did not get many pool days :(  We did pick strawberries and raspberries, run lot of errands, got our library cards, and had some fun.

P's baseball team played in an uber amount of baseball tournaments and baseball games.  I do not think we ever won a tournament, except one, by playing the entire thing.  It seemed that the championship game was always canceled due to thunderstorms.

We had some fun visitors come in town.  My parents came in for a weekend to see P play baseball. P and I took them to Crown Candy, which is not in the best part of town, but is celebrating it's 100th year this year. You wait in a long line to get a table, no matter what time you arrive.  They have the most delicious malts and shakes as well as the biggest bacon sandwich you have ever seen.  The next week the Watson's came to visit via train and we saw the Rangers beat the Cardinals, did a little boating, and I finally did the Budweiser tour after 11 years of living in St. Louis.

At the beginning of August we took a Blair family vacation to Gulf Shores, AL for a week.  What a fun time!  It was so nice to just sit on the beach in my beach chair and not worry about my job or really anything.  The waves were not big until the last day.  P had to have a skim board and wore himself out learning how to skim the waves. It was very fun to watch. J is like a kid in the water, all he wants to do is jump waves. My little family had pictures made on the beach.  I am very pleased with how they turned out and look for one around Christmas time in your mailbox!

But the biggest excitement of the summer was........WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!
