So, I've been really bad about taking pictures lately. I really wish I had some pics from memorial day weekend at the lake and some other things...but I don't. Oh well, we've had a lot going on and are loving the fact that it's summertime. Livie loves the pool and lake (or any water for that matter), being outside, playing with other kids, exploring EVERYTHING, and then trying to talk about it :). Her recent jabbering is the best...she truly acts as if she's carrying on a conversation with you...but only about 10% of it makes sense :).
Two weekends ago, Lindsay had her bachelorette party. It was soo fun to get out for the night with girls! We did a scavenger hunt all over Peoria :) and then ended up back at 309 for dinner and gifts. Wedding is this weekend...and I can't wait. Lindsay has been such a great friend over the past 6 years, and I'm so excited for her and Willie. Should be fun.
Speaking of weddings, my Neukomm grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this past weekend. 60 YEARS...isn't that incredible? If Chad and I ever have a 60th, we'll be 86 and 89. I don't see us living that long, but we'll see :). They had all of the children and grandchildren out to Metamora Fields for dinner on Saturday. So nice. And then on Sunday we met at Monicals with all the great-grandchildren for dinner and back to my grandparents for root beer floats and fun. There are 32 great-grandchildren with 3 on the way (and they should all be here by August!). Needless to say, this family loves kids. Here's Grandma and Grandpa on their special day:
And here's Livie and Adalai at Monicals...
Also, this past weekend, Chad, Livie, and I headed up to Ikea in Chicago to pick up Livie's toddler bed. I really want to transition her in it before the baby comes. I'm thinking of starting with naps to see how she does. Should be interesting.
We also browsed some at Crate and Barrel because we want to get a new kitchen table and chairs for the new house. Here's the table and chairs (the metal ones) we ended up loving...now we're just waiting on a sale!
House news? Chad is working on grading the basement floor so that concrete can be poured. Other than that, it's pretty much the same.
Pregnancy news? I had my 33 week appointment today, everything looks good and healthy. Next sono date is in 4 weeks. I'm just really tired...today my prayer was to just see Jesus in things and focus on Him during the next 7 weeks. Here's how God answered that prayer today: It's so easy for me to think selfishly and want my energy and normal hormone levels back...but He made me realize today that this process is for the baby's good...and mine as well. Pregnancy is a sacrifice, but it's nothing like what Christ did for me. So, if pregnancy can make me see more of Jesus...then bring the next 7 weeks on :).
