25 Weeks

The last few weeks have gone by so quickly. All I seem to remember are the days when I was 10 and 12 weeks pregnant, staring over at the 22+ week preggos during yoga wishing I had a "bump". Well folks, here it is. Thank you to my cohorts Elise and Elizabeth for accompanying me to the parking lot in front of the office to take this picture.

Arriba!!

Our office had a Mexican Fiesta after our July office meeting; the food was delicious. Jennifer and I are sporting non-alcoholic margaritas...so yes, basically just the Jose Cuervo mix on ice. Exciting!

We have hired so many new employees that we decided to wear nametags to help everyone along and naturally, "Sophia", got her very own nametag! Jennifer is unsure if she is having a boy or girl, so her nametag remains a question.

If you look closely you will see the babies profile, and her little fingers up by her mouth. Yes that's right, I did say "her", we are officially having a girl.

Buon Giorno

Some recent pics from our trip to Italy and Paris. It was a shorter trip than normal but it felt good to relax.

The View

The day after we arrived in Radda we went into town, this is one of our favorite views.

Pretty

Birds and the Bees...

During an afternoon lunch at our new favorite spot, we noticed the birds flying from one tree to the next. We would hear a big 'phwoosh' when they would all fly at once.

Hard at work...

Dan really did work every day, he would email at 3am, and sketch during lunch. I hope his clients are appreciative!

The Pool

I've been bugging Dan to take a picture of my current appearance...so, here I am at 5 months pregnant.

Delicious

I think this is Max's and Jasper's favorite dish. They scrape cheese from the middle of this large parmesan wheel. Leaving the cheese in the wheel they pour alcohol in, light in on fire, and then toss in cooked pasta. Mix it together and you have a very tasty pasta dish.

Paris

First: the boys posing in front of Notre Dame in Paris.

Second: a very beautiful door that I happened to run by on my way to find beads.

Thanks Dan!

Visiting Italy each summer is such a wonderful experience for all of us, and I'm grateful that Dan makes it happen every year! I'm also happy that he took another picture which catches the growing bump...this picture was taken in Paris at the end of the 9 days. Dan thinks I look like I could deliver anytime...I assured him that his sarcasm will only make me grow larger.
