Tennessee

By

We took a wonderful vacation to Tennessee at the end of our summer. (We've only been in school a week and a half...but vacation already seems so long ago!) We visited Ryan's parents and got to hang out with them for about half a week. Both Leah and Lucy had tons of fun in the swimming pool. Lucy is going through "rehab" after being hit by a car earlier this summer, so the swimming was great for her. (Lucy is doing very well these days...we go for two 45 minute walks a day to exercise her hip and legs and she is loving all the extra attention and walks! I have grown to quite appreciate my early morning treks with her.)

After visiting Grammy and Papa, we went to stay in Pigeon Forge right near the Smoky Mountains with friends of ours. There was again, more swimming involved, as well as hiking, mini-golf, picnicking, and other fun adventures. Leah was a real dare devil at the waterpark and went on some HUGE waterslides with us. ("Let's do it AGAIN!" she says...)

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
