Bread with the Brisels

It's the last day of school! We are so ready to welcome summer this year.    Here's a picture of Sammy from the first day of school. He looks so little!  The last day of school. :) The sun was super bright this morning!     This year Sammy attended preschool two days a week at the Newton Christian Preschool Program. He absolutely LOVED everything about preschool. At the beginning of the year our goals for Sammy were to learn how to go to school. We wanted him to learn how to sit at the carpet, stand in line, and play cooperatively with his peers. We wanted Sammy to keep his immense joy, smile, and love of learning. ALL of the above was accomplished this year and it makes us so proud! We are so thankful for his two teachers for pouring into him all year. They are such blessings in his life! He'll attend the four year old preschool program at Newton Christian Preschool next year, and is super excited to go to preschool 3 days a week.      Today I finished my ninth (how?!) yea

  It's May 18th which means that within a month our family will look entirely different with our newest addition! I can't hardly wait for the newborn snuggles and the excitement of welcoming our sweet baby home.  I officially hit 35 weeks in my pregnancy this week. We celebrated Mother's Day over the weekend and took our parents to "This Little Piggy" in Altoona to get some updated photos of our sweet boy. I'm currently measuring about 3 weeks ahead with a strong likelihood of high fluid, just like my pregnancy with Sammy. The tech guessed that he was weighing about 5lb 11 oz. He already has big cheeks and lots of hair and eyelashes! I can't wait to hold him in my arms.  Look at those big cheeks!  At my 36 week appointment we will have a growth ultrasound done just to make sure that everything checks out OK, and to see if the date of my c-section needs to be changed. With being high fluid I run the risk of my waters rupturing early and increased contractio
