No More Naps!

Nico is on a roll trying to resist the temptation to sleep during nap time. One day he decided after reading every book on his shelf to unscrew the lightbulb and use it to draw on the walls, lovely!!

No More Vinyl In The House Offically!

Oz finished up the tile work this weekend in the 1/2 bath, now we have officially covered all the ugly vinyl left in the house, I'm so happy!
This tile was leftover from a 1/2 bath my Dad did for us in Columbus so it hardly cost anything to do this one.
I couldn't take a picture of the sink since we are having a little problem there, it's leaking every time Oz tries to put it back, a plumber he is not but I'm sure he'll figure out something. I hope!

4 more weeks!

My induction has been penciled in for October 5th. Though it seems like I've been pregnant forever, at the same time I can't believe I only have 4 more weeks left!

Fat Lip :(

Somehow Nico bounced his bottom off the front of the toilet and hit his mouth on the baseboard, don't ask us how he managed to do it but the result was his first fat lip. We are fortunate that we've had so few injuries, I have this feeling that they may start to increase as he gets crazier with age!

Congrats Oz!

Oz did his first tri this morning in Huntsville, it was a mini tri so he could learn a little more about the race and it ended up being a great way to start. I hope I can do the race next year once the baby is here. We both will need new bikes though, we are hoping to get his with Christmas and birthday money this year and mine at somepoint down the road who knows, why are the road and tri bikes SO expensive!! Yikes!

Nico and I headed to the race around 7 this morning and caught him finishing the bike part and going into the transistion to swim. It was great to be there to cheer him on!

First Day of Preschool!!

I was planning on walking him in for his first day but one of the teachers that knew him went ahead and took his things and brought him into school unexpectedly. Nico was trying so hard not to cry it was making me try not too as well! He had his little hand over his eyes but he bravely walked into school for his first day all by himself. What a big boy! I'm sure once he got in he had a blast! He loved it last year.

Thanks Dad and Ashley!!

We wanted to give a huge thank you to both Dad and Ashley, they have allowed us to fix up our home on a tight budget doing things we never would have been able to without their help.
Ashley painted a beautiful painting for us to put over our fireplace, she even signed it!
Dad came down for the week and laid tile in our kitchen and laundry room, the cost of having someone lay tile is crazy and for him to take a week to help us was wonderful. It was great to say goodbye to all that linoleum!! Things are coming together with the house but never would have without the help of our family so huge thanks from Oz and I!
Nicolas really enjoyed his D-Daddy's visit, as usual he was sad to see him go back home to as he would say Grammy's House. He will be looking forward to seeing his Grammy and D Daddy when the baby comes soon!
