What's up with us lately...

Sophie and I flew to Kansas City for Labor Day weekend for my step dad, Dave's, birthday. Sophie had a blast playing with her Grandma, Grandpa, cousin Dane, and Aunties Celeste and Christine! She loved reading with Grandma and played with the baby dolls constantly. We took a day trip to Union Station downtown and saw the train exhibit. Sophie's favorite part was the kids' hands-on play time! We also went to the Crayola store - everyone loved that!

When we got back to Ohio, my wonderful friend, Jill Montoya, threw a baby shower for me! Since I'm having a "little man," we did a mustache theme! SO CUTE. It was simple and fun and very relaxing! I had a few friends and some family members there. What a great success! Thanks, Jill!

Not much else has been going on since. We've been to the zoo, we hang out at home a lot, and we're preparing for this new little person to enter our lives! A little over a month til he comes! HOORAY!

It's a BOY!!!!

Baby Boy Barron

Due to make his appearance around November 8, 2013!

A few May photos

We went to the Cincinnati Zoo! We finally redeemed our zoo membership that we received for Christmas. Now we can go whenever we want!

Sophie being a goof

Soph refused to take a serious picture on Mother's Day. She wore this dress to church, which is actually her momma's dress from when she was little! We thought it the appropriate day to have her wear it. Doesn't she look adorable?!

Pregnant!

Well, we're doing it... we're expanding our family! Baby Barron is expected around November 8, 2013, and we find out the gender in about 6 weeks' time.

I am currently a little more than 14 weeks along and am feeling great! I don't even notice this pregnancy. Sophie helps keep me occupied and active!

We announced our pregnancy with this: (read Sophie's shirt)

We are so excited for this new baby, and we are confident that all will go well!

Tennessee

We went on vacation with Drew's family to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee (in the Smoky Mountains)! We stayed in a gorgeous cabin and spent lots of time together. Here are just a few photos from our week-long trip.

Soph loved being with her Papa and the boys always wanted to be playing mini golf. We made time for family photos and spent lots of our time on the deck over-looking the beautiful mountains!

We also went to the aquarium - fun for everyone!

We had a really fun trip! We hope we can see our Barron family again soon!
