3 Day Weekend!!

It was a busy weekend again here at the Nowell household!! Couldn't of had better weather too!! I think its been in the 70s during the day and has cooled off nicely in the evenings.

Saturday: I started off by installing some new windows in the Lean-To. We bought them at the Rebuilding Center for a whopping $12 and had the wood already from another project. It took a little while to figure out how I was going to install them but once that was figured out they went in with no issues. I wanted to also get them ready for the big party on Saturday night so I was in a little bit of a hurry. Managed to get-r-dun with 2 hours to spare.

Here's a quicky photo of them installed.

Then later in the afternoon everyone started to show up for Sadie's 30th birthday party. It was her party and so she set everything up which was nice. Emma really liked having someone else be in charge so she didn't have to do too much. She did however make the cake of course...YUM!!

Here are some pictures from the fun shindig!

Sunday: We devoted a good amount of time to pretty much do nothing!!! It seemed like a great day to kick back and enjoy the clean house and yard with nothing to do. We watched a movie, took a nap and cleaned up only a little from the party.

Monday: This day seemed like it was devoted to eating!!! Woke up to Crepes made by Emma of course. Covered in Strawberries and oh so good. I managed to get in a long run too. Ran 8.4 miles and for the first time not in the gym. Went well and was great to have a bit of a breeze to cool me off as I went. Then it was pizza for a snack, went to the park for a picnic and playtime with Puma for lunch, back home for some ice cream and to catch up on Lost and then fish tacos for dinner!! Yes I ate fish tacos!! Second fish dinner I have eaten and liked it! And lastly leftover cake from the party for dessert!! Oh yeah.

Quick Baby Update!

We went to see the midwife this morning to check on the baby and everything sounded great! It took a while to find it but the babies heartbeat was strong. I was holding my breathe since it took a while for her to find but once she did...my own heart stopped. I don't think I will ever get used to that! Hard to believe since its on the size of a Nutter Butter at 13 weeks tomorrow!

We don't have another appointment for 6 weeks but at that time we will get to see an ultrasound!! Should be fun!!

Vacation Baby!!!

Ok so I guess I have been lacking in updating the blog lately. I guess I have been busy with the house and also we were out of town last week. No excuse really since I brought the laptop with us to California for Lance and Suzanne's wedding.

Not sure how many people check the blog but if they had they would have seen the picture on the top right that shows the progress of our baby!! We found out on Camille's birthday March 20th and its been great news ever since. We went in for an ultrasound about 3 weeks ago and got to see it growing! It was a crazy feeling actually seeing it and hearing its heartbeat.

Emma is now just over 3 months pregnant and is due on the Nov 10th!! Time is flying by.

I will write more about it later and also write more about the wedding! Was a great trip and a wonderful wedding!!
