Summer Catch Up

Well it has been a HOT summer around here, and when you combine that with being very pregnant ... then nothing really gets done. So I am trying to play a little catch up and tell you about our summer.

In May we went to Memphis for a long weekend to celebrate Nathan's grandmothers birthday. It was a nice trip, and Abby did surprising well with the 8 hour drive. She enjoyed staying in a hotel and swimming in the hotel pool. This is her at the party, not wanting to have her picture taken .. what can I say ...she's 3!

In June we went to the lake a couple of times and enjoyed swimming and being lazy with the family. Also, in June I had my bi-annual work conference in Ft. Worth. So Abby went to stay with my parents in Oklahoma for about 5 days. Of course, she didn't want to come home!

Here she is with Gigi & Papa feeding the ducks at the Duck Pond on campus.

In July we went back to the lake for the 4th of July. It was fun, as always ... you can see those pictures in the previous post. And really since early July we haven't done much. I am definitely slowing down - only have about 7 more weeks to go. And I am so hot and uncomfortable at this point. However, I try to stay in the air conditioning as much as I can!

We have decided on a first name for our little boy .... drum roll please ...

COOPER Holm

His middle name is still undetermined, but will likely be a family name from one of us. :)

We are getting excited and nervous about his arrival. And I am hoping that Abby will be a great big sister and a helper. We certainly talk about it alot, but we will just have to see.

As for Nathan he has been working like crazy this summer doing about 3 or 4 peoples jobs on top of his own. I think it is finally getting better as they have hired some help after some early summer layoffs. Also, he has been taking a class. So he is gone Monday & Wednesday nights till 11 pm. I really don't know how he does it! But his class is over in a couple of weeks, so the end is in sight.

Well more to come about the rest of the summer, or at least I'll try!
