So she has arrived, no not Elzie, but the furry little girl who we have yet to name. She is ferocious, precocious, and down right cute! Terror by day and cuddle by night is her motto. Here she is messin things up!
Here are some cute photos of her!
This past weekend Jon’s family (major props to Allison and Janet) threw us a fantastic pool side shower. There was tons of amazing food, incredible presents and fun had by all. Here are a few pics and videos of our time showering it up!
Here is what happens when Jon’s old band arrives and takes over the pool. It was such an impressive feat because it literally took them 50 tries to nail the final dunk–go Jon, Mr. Dunk himself!
Thanks again to all those that attended. Jon and I had a blast. Everyone was so generous with their gifting. Elzie is so set!
On friday we had our 25 week appointment. Everything was fantastic. The midwives were quite pleased that I had gained 8 lbs this month and am now measuring right on target (last month I was a bit too small for their liking). It’s quite easy to gain 8 lbs when you have two servings of ice cream a day. Here are some videos from our Friday adventuring.

After our appointment we picked up Shelly and Rowan and went over to my parent’s house for a little bbq. To test our own parenting abilities, we found as many ways as possible to laugh uncontrollably at a toddler. Spinning turned out to work the best. Here are Jon and Shelly taking little nugget on a spinning adventure.
Here my dad got a little training of his own. Taking Rowan for a shoulder ride, he got a good taste of the next few summers. Rowan finally decides that the shoulder ride is no where near as exciting as spinning so he requests help on a dismount and spins again. This time I’m the spinner! Once Rowan realized how much we enjoyed a laugh at his expense he began to just walk and fall on his own. What a little ham.
On Saturday Jon’s oh so generous mom took me shopping for a whole new maternity wardrobe. I managed to get a whole bunch of items that will serve me well for the remainder of this pregnancy. Thanks Janet!!! Here you can see that Jon got a little taste of what it might be like to have a 6 month pregnant belly. I think he looks quite dashing…and lumpy!
To celebrate the birth of our nation and the impending birth of our child, we spent a long weekend down the shore in Longport. I am happy to report that I was able to elude the sun the whole time while still spending some quality time on the beach! Here we are in all our glory!

Belly Time Fun!
We hope you enjoyed our photos as much as we enjoyed taking them. If i had to pick a favorite it would be between the belly shadow pic and Jon’s caped mid air cannon ball. I don’t know if I have ever laughed so hard while going through a batch of photos. We had taken a similar set of photos last year at the beach and agreed that this year, those photos were trumped by the addition of the cape. We wondered what would trump the cape and then we realized that actually having the baby will certainly trump the cape. Can’t wait for next year’s installment!
Liz and Jon did it. Now they are having a baby. They are not married. This is the website for their illegitimate child.
