An overview of the Summer

Finally....my day off and nothing to do! So I've downloaded some recent pictures to the computer and will post an overview of this summer's events.

So many things happened this summer, and I must say it went by pretty fast! I can't believe I only have about 2.5 months left until little Alec comes to join the family. By the way, so far that's the name we have chosen for him. No middle name yet, but it will come to us....

We bought our first home in June, a small, old townhouse in Littleton, near Chatfield Reservoir. We spent weeks and many, many hours redoing many things in it and we are not done yet. Here are some pictures of the renovated place...I wish I had taken pictures before we painted and redid the bathroom because it was really ugly, and it made such a difference!

The downstairs (and me at 28 weeks)

Our dinning area

Downstairs from a different angle (you can see our small kitchen)

View from the front door

The kitchen is small and outdated, but we did put a new light fixture.

The entrance (and we have some rich neighbors across the fence)

The outside

The backyard...just kidding, our patio.

The view from upstairs

The baby's room...in progress

Our bedroom (and office)

The upstairs bathroom

Steve helped tile around the tub and put new floor tile

Also this Summer we celebrated Steve's and my 24th birthday. We are getting up there!!!

At Rodizio Grill - a Brazilian restaurant downtown Denver where we celebrated Steve's b-day. (Steve's mom, dad and my sister-in-law Virginia)
Steve's mom didn't want to try any of the chicken hearts.....I love them!!!

My b-day!

For Labor Day weekend we decided to go visit Mt Rushmore in South Dakota, it was pretty fun! I'll post those pictures next time...it's taking too long!!

Just updating

So it has been more than 18 days...and I did find out the sex of the baby....it's a BOY!! We are very excited, and yet very clueless as what to name him. I never thought it would be so hard to choose a name. Our lives have been so busy lately that we really haven't had much time to concentrate on choosing a name, so hopefully by the next post we'll have at least a few choices picked out...we'll see. Here are just recent pictures...I don't like taking pictures lately cause I look so biiiiiggg. But oh well...can't really change anything now. My feet and ankle have been so swollen lately, and I tried putting in one of my three pairs of tennis shoes today to go to a stretching class...and none of them fit :( I guess I'll have to keep wearing sandels for the rest of the pregancy. Can't believe the baby will be here in less than 4 months!!!

With Buddy...so cute!

Taking pregnant pictures at my parents


Being happy!

Kristin's Wedding

I forgot my camera for the wedding, but here's a picture my mom took of Steve & I yesterday. I liked it!! I'll try and get some more picutures of the wedding for my next post. It was such a nice event, and Kristin looked beautiful.

Hope everyone is well!

I find out the sex of the baby in 18 days!!! Woohooo...
