Ladies and Gentlemen! Start Your Engines!!!

Last Saturday, Neil and I took Owen to Lowe's for one of their FREE Build 'N Grow Workshops! It was so much fun! The activity for that Saturday was a Lowe's Race Wooden Race Car. Owen got an apron and safety goggles to take home and bring back for each workshop that he completes. And after the workshop is over, each kid gets a patch to sew onto their apron! Owen's little friends' Magdalene and Libby also were there as  you can see in the pictures! We will try to take Owen back to these as much as possible. And for anyone else with kids, look on Lowes.com and go to Services and Build 'N Grow to sign up!

We are down to T-Minus 7 days until Labor Day. If this baby chooses to even come on time! I would like to baby to either make it right on time or a little before :) I have another appointment on Thursday to see my progression. I am trying to do as much walking as possible so I can get the baby to move back into the birth canal (at my appointment 3 weeks ago the baby was there, now the baby has moved into a little different position but still head down!). We put the car seat into the car today so everything is ready! My hospital bag is just about packed and I have my folder all ready to hand over to the nurses when we get there!  Life is about to change...for the better! We told Owen he gets to sit by the baby in the car and he got so excited. He is going to be a VERY good big brother!

We had BEAUTIFUL weather this week while you all on the East Coast had our type of weather! :) You all broke records with cold temps and we broke two with warm temps..very weird! We are now cloudy and snowy but Neil and I are loving it!

Hope everyone is doing well and I promise..the next post will be of the new baby! Soon we will be a family of 4! :)
