The Lost Sea

Last weekend Paul & I met up with Holly and Cameron in Tennessee. We had a lot of fun but the best part was just being able to hang out with them and the kids. We love those kids and as usual really hated to say goodbye. I wish it was more often but I am glad we get the opportunity to see them as much as we do. While we were there we went through this cave called the Lost Sea. You basically take a tour through the cave and then take a boat ride in the lake inside the cave. We all had a good time although the walk back up was a little rough for someone who is 7 months pregnant but it was definitely worth it.

Holly & Cameron thought they would give Paul some parental training.

You can't really see much of the cave in these pictures. What you can see is that the humidity really did a number on my hair!

Baby Blanket

For Christmas this year I decided I wanted a sewing machine. I am not really sure why. I have not sewn anything since Home Ec in Jr High but I have two talented sisters that have taken it on and I guess I decided since I am going to be a mom soon I better get start getting domesticated. When I got it, I took it out of the box and threaded the machine but after that there was not a whole lot I could do but just kind of look at it. A few weeks later I decided to try making the baby a blanket. I did a rag quilt which was actually pretty easy and it ended up hiding a bunch of my flaws. I do have to say I was pretty proud at my first sewing project. We will see if there is more to come.

I was kind of trying to avoid this picture but I have had a few people bugging me to see a picture of me pregnant and since most of my family does not get to see me pregnant I decided just to go ahead and throw it up here. So mom, this is for you.
