P.S. Owl Sighting

We saw a Hawk and our Barred Owl again Sat. Night... The owl was talking to us for a bit, before Jon spotted...

Off to Grandma & Papa's

Well, the end of summer is near. Camp is closed this week Mon, Tues & Wed. So, today Charlie is off to Grandma & Papa's for the day... along with Race Cars and the Dog Bookbag...

Preschool starts next week, which is really just the 9-12 slot for Charlie. New teachers, new class, etc. Childcare remains pretty consistent outside of that.

We had a pretty calm weekend... lots of catching on sleep (Charlie doesn't seem to get quite enough during the week), some time at the pool and working on moving our piles of our stuff and a little playtime at the mall playground. We might just get through our projects before A&B get here!

Who's Room?

Charlie said it was "doggy's room" although more recently since sleeping there, he has said "this is my room!"
Well Greta begs to differ. She may have given up a queen size bed for a single, but she's still claiming her territory even if she has to share with Elmo and "doggy."

Life is rough :o)

Yesterday was 25 weeks... I am feeling a bit more tired these days and thinking I need a back brace...

Celebrations!

We got together last night at the Wood's to celebrate Joe's 24th Birthday (WOW) and Elizabeth's graduation from VCU. Whopee!!!

Joe starts teaching tomorrow as a Teacher's Asst. in the Biology dept.

Elizabeth is enrolling in classes with Mary Baldwin for her teaching certificate and will be working...

some days call for Breakfast... on the couch?

Well, we all have our moments. We want to sleep in, we don't want to get dressed...

So you have to settle for 2nd best. Breakfast on your couch watching Sesame Street!!!

This week it's been the Olympics. We are pulling for Michael.

24 weeks

Yesterday was my 24 week appt. Yep, there are still 2 babies in here :o)
We didn't have many great pictures (new ultrasound tech), but here is a great profile of Baby B and also one of both baby's heads... They are laying back to front...

Baby A is 1 lb 5 oz

Baby B is 1 lb 10 oz

Dr. Love said Baby B is in control! Although the size difference sounds significant, they are both measuring 24 weeks + and as the doc said, just as they'll have different personalities, they are going to be different physically.

Virginia Beach

Jon and I had a great trip to Virginia Beach, Thurs - Sat. Charlie stayed with Grandma and Papa Wood AND Uncle Joe.

It was a great time, we went to see Dave Matthew's Band Thurs. night. Dave played lots of our ol' favorites: Satellite, One Sweet World, Crash, Ant's Marching... also played Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel which was really fun. In the truest of Jon fashion, we were able to move up to the front of our section, so I was able to see while sitting down.

It was nice to spend some quiet time on the beach, minus a few blackberry interruptions!

Sat. we stopped by the outlets for a little fun shopping. It is a little mind boggling to think of buying for 3 boys, and trying to figure out what size they may be 3, 6 and 12 months from now. Although, we ended up coming home with things for everyone. Me, Jon, Charlie & twins.
((((Are we really having 2 more? It's still mentally hard to capture :o)))))

For anyone who's interested, the set list from the show:

Thursday Aug 7 2008 Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater
Seek Up *One Sweet World *So Damn Lucky *Old Dirt Hill *Pantala Naga Pampa *Rapunzel *Crash Into Me *Corn Bread *Eh Hee *Burning Down The House *Proudest Monkey Satellite *(Everyday) *Halloween *Water Into Wine You Might Die Trying *Sledgehammer *#41 *Ants Marching *
Encore* Don’t Drink the Water *Anyone Seen The Bridge *Too Much Intro *Tripping Billies *

Today makes 23 weeks!

Yeah for that! I hope that I will make it to Nov. Constant heartburn and a big belly just make you feel not quite yourself. But all in all, I think I have it pretty good. At this time in my pregnancy with Charlie, I had just broken 3 bones in my foot. So, if I can stay on my feet til the end, I'll have to say this pregnancy went very well.

My goal is to make it to Halloween, but I will be very happy if the boys come any time after that. Nov 2 marks 36 weeks, which is exactly when Charlie was born at 7 lb 6 oz. Of course, everything is different with twins and we will just see.
Since Jon, myself and Charlie are all holiday babies (New Year's, Independence Day (7/3) and Easter), we are thinking it makes sense for these guys to arrive on a holiday. Perhaps Halloween or Veterans Day?

Jon and I are going away to Virginia Beach to see Dave Matthew's tomorrow night and are staying an extra day while Charlie stays with his grandparents and Uncle Joe... whoohoo!
