Almost....

Almost halfway done with this pregnancy already! It sure felt like my pregnancy with Madilyn didn't go nearly as fast!

We had our big ultrasound today and there was no denying it, baby #2 is a GIRL. Madilyn is going to have a little sister!!!!!

Unfortunately, while baby kept showing us her gender, she appears to want to stay in hiding until D day, since she would not give us ANY profile pictures. So, no ultrasound pics this time. Everything looks great and she was very active in there....just a little camera shy :)

And in the spirit of updating, here's how I'm looking these days.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's day to Matt and all of the other Dads out there! You are loved and appreciated!

Today it was Matt's request to go hiking. He's been asking us for a while now and something would always come up. So, today was the day. We went out near the wildlife refuge and had a wonderful time. The scenery was beautiful and Madilyn even got to see a few buffalo up close. I will admit, they're a little intimidating in such close proximity!

After our hike we had lunch and naps. Then we spend the rest of the afternoon and early evening hanging out and the pool and grilled up dinner. I think Matt had a great day and I know we did too :)

Splashing Through Summer

First, let me just say, how is June already more than half over???? This summer is going by SO fast! Slow down summer!!!

Tonight we had a fun time hanging out at the toddler pool on base with Madilyn's great girlfriends Madeline and Eva. She was so excited to hit the pool and after arrived and I told her the girls were going to be there....she couldn't get to the pool fast enough. These girls really are just the best of friends. Julie got a few great pics and even a video, so of course I have to share!

Impromptu Play Date

Yesterday evening, we had the pleasure of watching Isabella for a bit while Natalie was busy. She came just in time for dinner and fun!

The girls were too cute encouraging one another to eat all their food. After dinner we washed them up and set them free. Boy did they ever have fun! They spent forever chasing one another around the house screaming with delight. Then they'd change directions of one another. As they'd bump into each other they'd pause and say, "huuuuuuuuug" and give each other a hug before continuing to play chase. So adorable!!!!!

I didn't catch too many pics but here are a few.

We sure are blessed to have such great girlfriends out here.
