1 Month to go!!!

Well, actually it will be one month to go on Friday, but we are counting down the days until Emerson makes her appearance! Griffin has been kissing and hugging my belly and talking about "baby sister" and I am confident that he will make an excellent big brother. Just 4.5 weeks to go!!

Griffin starts school a week from today and I am so excited for him. He has been attending a "practice/play-school" a few times this summer and doing really well with being away from me and dad. After the first visit he came home with a note that said that he is "working on not hitting or grabbing his friends." So, after repeating after me about a hundred times that we do not hit our friends, I think that he is finally getting it (for now). He has also been going to the church nursery dry-eyed too, so I have pretty high hopes for next week!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks. We have been feeling very blessed lately with great friends at a couple of baby showers for Emerson. One took place in Birmingham and one right here in Dacula. Other than that we have been enjoying some pretty low-key weekends here at home. And it has been really nice to stay put for a while. Enjoy the pics!

Griffin and Daddy play in the backyard:

This will probably be one of our last trips to the pool this season. Hopefully the video that I uploaded below will work for you. It showcases Griffin's awesome swimming skills.


Here are some of the pictures from a shower hosted by our wonderful cul-de-sac neighbors. It was so nice and I felt so loved to see some Playgroup moms, neighbors and family come to help us celebrate!

Aunt Coco got us matching big bro/little sis shirts! So cute!

Some of the attendees... thanks ladies!!

Me and mom... I am as big as a house!

My grandmothers both made the trip up from Macon.

Here are some shots from Birmingham.

Natalie and her sweet niece!

Aunt Janet whipped up this carriage creation. Isn't it cute?

The beautiful table full of yummy bruch goodness.

Let me know if you can view the video below. I don't know exactly what I am doing on this new computer just yet (hence the out of order pics above). Hope everyone is doing well!
