nesting



Well, the Williamses have officially started nesting. I have to admit, this is a little scary since it it is very out of character and didn't happen at all before susannah was born. yesterday we washed and detailed both cars. we were talking about washing the car and susannah chimmed in "for beanie." I thought that was cute. the second picture is grimes and susannah cleaning up the backyard and planting grass. I don't have a picture, but last week's project was steam cleaning our carpets!?! Clutter has been driving me crazy and I actually had a fleeting thought of boxing up all of susannah's toys (cruel, I know - I wouldn't actually do this). we are a little more than 3 weeks out from my due date, and all the signs indicate that things are quickly moving in one direction. we are all so excited and can't wait to meet our little beanie!

field trip to the firehouse

This past weekend we took a field trip to the local firehouse with susannah's friend sammy and his family. the kids had a blast looking at the trucks and all the equipment. I love this first picture - susannah was having some teething issues and we couldn't get her to take her fingers out of her mouth for the picture. sammy, being the fine gentleman that he is, put his hand in his mouth too to take some of the pressure off.


susannah loves holding sammy's hand. this is a sweet picture of the two of them.


playing at the park afterwards . . .

a cookout/picnic in our backyard to top off a great day.

in the garden

here are some pictures that I found on our camera when I went looking to see if there was anything post worthy. two of grimes' many hobbies are gardening and photography, and I thought these pictures were really cool. the first is a shot that both looks through the window of our garage to our neighbor's yard while at the same time reflecting back our own yard. the next shots are of a beautiful monarch butterfly enjoying our zinnias.
