August?!?

What happened to August?  I have no idea!  I can only guess it flew by as we started one last big push to get ready for baby.  Here is my rewind.  Well, here is what we remembered to take pictures of.

HOME RENOVATION CONTINUES

Toilet install during our hall bath remodel.  We've made more progress but I think it deserves a post of it's own once the shower is complete.

New tile in the entry way!

Steve risking his life on a super high ladder to install our new entry light.  He also saved our house from burning down by discovering and disconnecting a live wire that had been drilled through and has been hanging out in our wall - LIVE every time we turned on our old entry light during the last 4 years.

Steve and his helper hanging our new dining room light.

BABY SHOWER

Our sweet friend, Tana, hosted a baby shower at the Mad Potter (a really fun place where you can paint your own ceramics and they will fire them for you).  It made for a fun shower and everyone had a great time making their own art!

Nana June, Grandma Karen, and Great Grandma all adding their touch to Peanut's gift (a 1st Birthday Plate).

Aunt Cheryl making a tile.

Ryan's assistant and her adorable daughter painting their project.  This lady is a super trooper.  She delivered baby number 2 the very next day.

Hard at work!

Opening gifts :)

Some of the final products!

You may have noticed that my family appeared in these photos.  What a surprise!  I came home from work a little early so that I'd have time to change and get ready for the shower.  When I walked in I noticed that the house seemed ridiculously clean for a Thursday afternoon.  Ryan gave me some excuse about wanting the house to be clean just in case someone came over to help me carry gifts home.  Hmmm, ok.  Then a little while later there was a knock at the door.  Mom, Cheryl, and Grandma were standing on my door step!  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!

4TH ANNIVERSARY

Technically this was September 1st. 

My pretty flowers.

This is to prove just how much I love my husband.  Apparently my tummy fits best in his t-shirts.  I actually allowed him to document me in a Cubs shirt.  I should have planned ahead and stocked him up on Cards paraphernalia. 

I love you, honey!  I'm excited to be working on year #5!
