Making Room

This month has been all about making room. The other weekend, Ben and I moved the guest bed, tv, sewing machine, and more out of the guest room and into what is now the office/guest room. Here's a picture of how it turned out. It's not as tight as it looks in the picture.

Here is the beginning of the nursery... We have a long way to go before lil miss Wylie joins us in November.

Speaking of making room, here's my 24 week picture. I'm not sure if I am making room for her or she is making room for herself, but either way, we are both growing and doing great!

Also making room is Ben's sister and brother-in-law. They welcomed their sweet little girl, Lucy Claire McClung, on July 13, 2011. Ben and I were lucky to be able to be there too since Ben had a test for school in Atlanta the following day. We also got a chance to do some furniture shopping to fill the empty room above. I'll post pictures once furniture is delivered and assembled.

Here's a couple pictures of the new family addition. The first is at the hospital and second is after she got to come home. She is absolutely precious, and we hope Wylie is just as perfect as her big cousin Lucy!

Happy 2 Years!

Yesterday was Ben and my 2nd year anniversary. To celebrate, Ben not only took me to Walker's for a great dinner, but he also sent me flowers at work.

I'm not the type that typically gushes about how good I have it, but I do have to say that I feel pretty lucky to have such a great husband!

Life of a Workin' Gal

It's the days of summer that make me ask myself each year, "why didn't I go into teaching?" Especially after a long weekend, I did not want to get up and go to work this morning. Ben, for this month, is on a rotation that allows him to stay home all day. He is doing a lot of studying and preparing for interviews, but still, he gets to stay home. I would most likely not be very productive working from home (so kudos to Ben), but how nice would it be to work while sitting on the couch still in pajamas OR out back getting some sun?!... That's how I picture it in my head at least. Here's what I had to leave this morning....

Looks comfy, right?

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend. A long, relaxing weekend was just what I needed after the past weeks of traveling and the upcoming travels ahead as well.

On Saturday, Ben and I made ribs and coleslaw for dinner... special thanks to Matt Miller for the recipe. They were delicious! How do they look to you?

Also Saturday, we spent a good while shopping as an anniversary present to ourselves. I wanted to get him new sunglasses since his had broken, but needed his input, and he wanted to get me a new camera for when the baby comes that he wanted my input. Here are a couple pictures with the new camera as well as a video. The video is mainly a trial to make sure we were able to do so when the time comes for Wylie's video debut.

First picture is of Charleigh's close up...

On Sunday night, we went to St. Richard's for fireworks where we met up with Clare, Mike, Holly and Armand as well as a few others.

And the video... Enjoy!
