Oh, what do you do in the Summertime?

Bryce and I have had a great couple of weeks getting some things done around the house and having fun. Our first project? Getting the baby's room all ready. I'm really happy with how it turned out - even though I never thought we'd go with a farm theme. (I couldn't fit the dresser in the picture, but it's on the opposite side.)


We also worked to get the yard all done. We ended up hiring someone to do the installation (Bryce's contract job is keeping him super busy), but we just needed to finish up a few things. It makes such a difference to look outside and see green!


By the way, if anyone is looking for a good perennial, I highly recommend the blanket flower. We planted some in the front, and they are very colorful, but don't need a lot of water.


We also had our fabulous book club over for a BBQ. Tom, Stacey, Kelly, Britt and I have been going strong for about 2 years! It's been a wonderful chance to read books that I never would have picked up before. (Blindness, anyone?) Thanks, you guys! I look forward to our monthly meetings and love the variety of ideas we discuss and the delicious meals!



I also love any chance I have to watch Bryce grill stuff...I'm told it's a very serious undertaking.

And finally, for those of you asking for a belly shot - here you go. I still don't have much of one, despite only having 12 weeks to go. (AGH!) I think our little guy might be shy.


I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer - from the looks of the blogs, you definitely are!

Hey me again! Where did you get the matching drapes for the babies room? I have been looking for some cute sports drapes to match Sawyers room.

I love the green rug in the room. What a cute idea! Your yard looks amazing! Sometimes it's really nice to pay someone else to do the hard work. I predict that when you only have 6 weeks left, your own personal beach ball will appear. Just you wait....
