Nursery Progress and Quick Summer Recap!

Wow, I did not do a blog post at all in the month of July and only 1 post in June! That's crazy.  It's been a fun summer... some busy days and some well-deserved lazy days!  First thing... my husband (who completed grad school in May) landed his first teaching job!!!! We are so proud of him! We are having a graduation/got a job party in a few weeks to celebrate!

Now on to baby stuff...

B... is for Baby... Boy... and Blue!

We have rearranged half our house to move Christopher's office to the family room. That meant also moving furniture from the basement family room upstairs to the living room so Chloe and Chris could happily share their family room/office space.  I've also spent a great deal of time cleaning out the storage area in the basement. 

The nursery is slowly coming together. We put the crib together and bought a rocking chair from a local consignment shop.

It's a small space but it'll work. Once we move the dresser upstairs the only thing we need are curtains and a small rug. (Not much else will fit in this cozy room).

I wasn't loving this blue... but since I can't paint right now, it's works. It's actually started to grow on me.

We also need to get the radiator painted!

More news.

Guess what....

We went out and bought a mommy van!

 I swore I'd never buy a minivan... then one day at the office we went out for a girl's lunch and we all rode together in someone's minivan. It was so spacious... it'd be perfect for three kids and a dog to go on family trips. When my car had enough, I knew it was time to upgrade to a minivan.  We are all loving our new (used) Toyota Sienna!

Here is my baby bump, now at 6 months!

I feel huge and feel like I look huge! Ahh, the joys of being short... pretty soon I'll be as wide as I am tall!  It's all worth it and I love my pregnant belly so I'm not complaining!

We've been keeping busy, having fun and doing a lot around the house.  However, as I mentioned, I am not painting while I am pregnant (booohooo) so that's partly why I've been slacking on the blog posts.

We have been enjoying our summer...

Chloe has been enjoying swimming in Grandma's new pool! 

playing some baseball...

and just having fun!

I am amazed how quick summer is flying by. Only a few weeks left until school starts.  Although, I must admit - I can't wait for fall, it's my favorite time of year!
