August – – where are you going??
Seems like the month just started but my calendar shows that it’s almost ending! With the new baby coming soon I feel like their is always more to do. I have been NESTING and wanting to clean and organize, mostly cleaning the same things over and over again 🙁 I have also had Braxton Hicks contractions all week! I know they don’t mean anything but it makes the baby coming very real and I think about her a lot. This last week my brothers parked an old camping trailer in front of our house and Brady has been coming over most days to work on it. It’s fun having him over. We have done some good work on the trailer and it’s fun having an extra for dinner and a few games in the evening and we even snuck out for a midweek date on Wednesday night! I finally made baby Gertrude a blanket! this is the one time every year or 2 that I sew. My other task has been getting bids on the yard and seeing if we can get the yard done SOON. We are all sad that summer is over but loving school and schedules. We’re excited for football (college and NFL not our kids) and soccer for the kids starts this week and prepping for a new little sister! Christy, Rob and Shaelyn will be here tonight! I guess August really did happen…
Ray just reading and sleeping, licking and talking at this book – Funny Boy.
The boys after day 2 of school – SO EXCITED. Packer especially is loving the newness of it all – Benji knows it’s a looong year ahead.
These girls all matched. My girls love to go to Mia’s and Rose has no clue that she is 2 years younger…
Rose crashed hard on the day that the 3 older kids were at school. I hope that becomes a habit.
We are enjoying the fruits of others labors since we don’t have a garden this year.
The kids LOVE to bathe in my tub – so FUN!
Rosie is on the Emergency Essentials poster – we saw this at the community Safety Fair!
This baby bump is HUGE – this picture was at the beginning of the month so I am bigger now. My due date is in 11 days so I am at the big and uncomfortable and try not to get anxious stage. Sure I’ll post more about that soon enough since it is starting to consume me…
sometimes you just have to stop and play a game of Dr. Mario

It was so fun to see you on Saturday! I hope all goes well with baby no. 6–I hate that uncomfortable, feel like you are going to pop, end of pregnancy feeling. Good luck with the yard! We are needing to do some yard rehab ourselves on this house.
