Babies Update

I am now at 28 weeks with the babies!! We want to make it at least 32 weeks and anything more is just that much better. They all weigh about 3lbs and look healthy. I am doing well too and still getting around some. I am a bit uncomfy, especially when sleeping, but not too bad yet. They have not been very cooperative for pictures and are now so squished in there that they are having difficulty getting a good picture anyway. So, I decided to post a picture of myself at almost 7 months. I am officially as big as a full term mom would be at 40 weeks. We did name the babies-FINALLY!
Norah Caroline, Shelby Elizabeth, and John Calvin (will be John or JC). Glad to have that part over with!

Children's Hands On Museum

During our visit, we went to CHOM of Tuscaloosa. This hands on museum is small but lots of fun for kids. Lela and Emily had a blast and the adults did too! Here are quite a few pictures-but they were all too cute not to post!
Blast Off!

Birmingham Zoo

Ben, Lori, Lela, Papa, and Emily took at trip to the Birmingham Zoo yesterday. Mommy and Grandma stayed at home (in the A.C) with Ella and daddy had to work. The group had a great time looking at the animals, riding a camel and feeding the Lorikeets!

Cool Whip Battle

Ben, Lori, Lela and Ella came to Tuscaloosa for a few days. Ben and Lori bought some cool whip so the girls could have some fun with a cool whip fight! Emily and Lela really enjoyed throwing, smearing, and smashing cool whip all over each other and Ben and Lori!

4th of July Fun

Emily got a new pool for the 4th of July and spent a little time playing in it before we went to see the fireworks.

Flowers

To start our Independence Day out, Papa and Emily planted some container flowers. Emily has been waiting to plant flowers with Papa since she found out in March that they were moving in! For a tomboy, she is a little skittish about getting her hands and face dirty. But with her gardening gloves and tools (from Aunt Patty), she was able to help plant several containers of beautiful flowers. The last picture is of the roses that Dad brought Mom for their anniversary. Mom put some in her room and some in the kitchen for all of us to enjoy. Dad got them from Aunt Joey at Dryden's Flowers and they are BEAUTIFUL!
