august-lotsa parties month

Apparently this is the party month. We were at Isaiah's 2nd birthday pizza and skating party last week, where the kids got to try rollerskating for the first time. They loved it and I could barely walk for the next two days. Apparently it takes special strength to skate while squatting down an entire night, helping short people learn to skate. It was worth it. We should have gotten a picture with all of us on skates, which did happen for a little while.

This week we went to a pool party. It was actually a little cool since it was in the evening and had rained earlier in the day (our first good rain in ages). We did get to see a rainbow, so that was extra special.

Today we are going to a wedding, next week is a wedding and birthday and the week after another birthday. The kids love it and it's fun to celebrate the great moments in people's lives. Children are growing up and lives are being enriched.

I think I've actually felt the baby some this week. It's very early, so I'm not entirely sure, but it's happened several times. I know I was about 20 weeks along with Ivan and only 17 weeks with Dominique the first time I felt her. I am 16 weeks now. It'll be really fun when Brian and the kids can feel the movements too. The nausea is much much better. I think the only times it hits now is when it's really hot and I'm really tired.

Dominique is doing her favorite puzzle right now. She's really good at puzzles. Ivan watched a cute video called "handy manny" and is walking around the house with his tools "fixing" things. Here he was one day with a toy mower a friend gave us. Be sure to watch the video to the end for the big surprise.

Lawnmowing can be dangerous especially when you hit your head with the mower! Love the rollerskating pics...Dominique does look like a natural.

That takes talent to be able to pick up the lawnmower, hit yourself in the head and then keep on mowing. Good job Ivan.
