Circus, Visit with Nanaw & Happy Birthday JD!!

Last Tuesday the Ringling Brothers Circus came to town! This was Anna Katharine's 2nd circus experience (we brought her last summer when they came to town). However, she was much more excited and interactive this time around. She liked the elephants & kept making a hand gesture like their trunk. We let her pick out a prize to bring home & she picked out a cute white tiger. She makes quite a ferocious growl whenever you ask her what her tiger says!

On Friday Nanaw & Aunt Tracy came over to visit. Every time we visit with Nanaw, Anna Katharine loves to play with Nanaw's walker. Well this time, Nanaw thought it would be good exercise to push Anna Katharine around on the walker. It was good for both of them because Nanaw got a little exercise & it definitely kept Anna Katharine entertained!!

On Sunday we celebrated JD entering a new decade- the big 30!!! We had lunch with all of our parents, siblings (sans Steph & Kicker since they are in New Hampshire) & friends Ryan & Kelley at the Country Club. After lunch the boys played golf (a ploy to get JD out of the house so I could set up for his surprise party!!) I was very pleased that I was able to pull off a little surprise party for him without ruining the surprise (I'm terrible about ruining surprises!!). It was a small party with a few of his high school friends. I brought my camera to the party & realized I didn't take a single picture! Oh well, everyone seemed to have fun & JD seems to be embracing his new decade very well.

Friday I'll be 38 weeks & I'll go back for a doctor visit. Last week I hadn't made any progress, so we'll see what this week holds. I've had a lot more contractions this week, so I'm assuming something is happening?! Hard to believe that in 15 days or less we'll be a family of 4!!
