Summer Adventures

I'm doing this partly for my own memory's sake.  And I am only able to complete with the help of Kyle and photos.  The many years blend together definitely.

2006 - Fly to NC for Matt and Hannah's wedding in early July.  Move to Waco end of July.


2007 - Summer of visitors.  We stayed in Waco and Kevin, M/D Hawkins, Jim/Jul, M/D Welty, Pete/Rita visited us.  Kyle had classes in June.

2008 - Travel with Kevin to Grand Canyon.  Car dies west of Flagstaff.  Rent a car for the rest of trip to Matt and Hannah's in WA.  Stay there 3 months, lots of visitors and adventures!

2009 - Drive to NC, stay in MD for 6 weeks (Kyle working with Kelsey)!  Leave Kyle, drive to Ohio for a brief visit and then down to Durham to pick up Mom for the drive back to Waco.  See Hawkins cousins on the way.

2010 - Kyle's month at SMU. Renovating the bathrooms (while Mom W watches the kids). Drive to Ohio, then MD, then to NC for a wedding and week at the beach. And drive home again (with Mom I think).  Kyle at Yale for a month.

2011 - First family camping trip in May to Enchanted Rock.  The kids and I leave for Durham in late June. Meet up with Kyle in MD (after mtg at Yale). Travel together to Ohio for 3 week visit. Home in early August in time to say goodbye to Digglers.

2012 - Summer of Dissertation. Kyle stays, we go. Travel to Durham for a month at M/D's empty house.  Kids are sick the first 2 weeks. To Ohio in mid July in time for Lancaster Festival again!  One week in Indiana visiting Giesers and Javan's wedding in Indianapolis.

This year's plan - Leave for Wilmore Kentucky June 1st.  To Durham on June 26. To NC mountains for July 12-14. To College Park, MD July 16. To Ohio August 1st.

As I'm laying here on bed rest, I can't stop thinking about having a newborn a my arms. But alas, I'm still at home waiting for this baby to decide to come. My Tuesday appointment showed an elevated blood pressure (same occurred with the other two) and so I spent 2.5 hours at the hospital for monitoring and lab tests. With normal results I was sent home (thank you thank you) on bed rest. This means little to no movement around. Grammy is most affected by this and she's doing an amazing job with Lillian and Jack - in fact, she's doing everything, including taking care of me and the household chores. Wow! The good news is that I've moved on from 2cm (16 days ago) to 4cm. So really, it's up to the babe to realize what a great family and world awaits him on this side :) It could be he/she is waiting for Kyle and I to decide on a good name - suggestions anyone? Here are the first pics of my Lillian May and Jack Robert: Jack joined our family at 10:24...
