Backyard Transformation!

Before...

After!!!

Ryan surprised us this week with a our very own playset for the backyard. We have talked about it for months because the kids love climbing and sliding. We walk over to our neighborhood playground often and with the new baby coming I knew it would be very difficult to take all three over to park. But Ryan hadn't really been on board with buying one, apparently he was only saying that because he wanted to make it a surprise.

The kids have been so excited about the playset! The morning after it was installed Chase woke up and said, "Daddy, can we go play on the slide?"

Olivia loves swinging on the trapeze bar and climbing up and down all the ladders and rock wall. Chase is obsessed with the tire swing. He loves getting totally whipped around :)

Station Tour

We took a tour of our local fire station with our friends this week. Of course the boys loved it, especially when they got to spray the hose (Chase sneaked back on the line several times). Again the girls were like- uh (Olivia wouldn't try the hose). They had fun either way just being with their buddies.

Baby William

We had our last ultrasound today and Baby William looks perfect. He is already 3 lbs and 15 oz. and growing right on schedule. We only have about 7 weeks left. I am feeling surprisingly good, probably better than I did with my other pregnancies. The kids have adjusted well to my growing limitations although they now realize I can't run after them and they have been working it this week. I am sure the next couple of weeks will be more of a struggle to keep up my energy but so far so good:)
