Wow, I can’t believe how quickly the time is just zipping by. I haven’t had a second of down time for the past two weeks and am now finally finding a second to get photos off my camera and onto the interwebs! Here are a bunch of photos from our adventures of the past week.

On Saturday we had the pleasure of attending Jon’s sister’s wedding.  Allison looked beautiful and she and Jay were both beaming all day long.  We managed to snap a few shots throughout the day! My favorite is the one where she is socking it to me in the jaw.  What a way to treat mom!

Monday the 17th was my grandmother’s 89th bday so I took Elzie to meet her great grandmother for the first time.  It was fantastic to watch mommom react to Elzie.  They loved each other so much!

Today I took Elzie on her first stroller ride.  She LOVED it.  Here she is in her cute little outfit and hat making some ridiculous faces as usual!

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!

Liz and Jon model their growing bellies:

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!

Well folks, I’m more than half done cooking a small child in my proverbial oven. I can’t seem to believe it myself. Jon and I rewarded ourselves for all this hard work with a trip to the shore. Here is what the shore rewarded me with:

I slathered up with SPF 50 and still managed to lose my battle with the sun. I think the trick will be to either 1. stay out of the sun or 2. reapply VERY frequently.

Jon’s family owns a house in Longport, NJ just one block from the beach and now that we have time, we are going to start visiting as often as possible. This past weekend Jon’s Aunt, Uncle and Cousins were down. Jon’s cousin Lauren and her husband Mike just got a new boxer puppy. He is 11 weeks old and just the cutest thing ever!

Here is a pic of my belly at 21 weeks. I will be posting some more Jon VS Liz belly shots soon.
