Can't believe we are already into July! Dave had the Monday after the 4th off, so we were able to go to Centre for the 4th of July weekend on Friday and stayed til Monday. We had great weather and had lots of fun hanging out with family and some friends. Saturday we were at the lake all day, grilled out, swam, rode the jet ski (I only did for a minute, so that I wouldn't hurt myself), horseshoes, and watched fireworks from the boat that night followed by shooting some of our own. It was a good day...and no sunburn. ;)
On Sunday the 4th, we did some more swimming, visited Jenni at her mom's since it was her b'day, then we celebrated Dave's b'day early with a homemade ice cream party (using kazoos to sing happy b'day), and all went to my parents' house to eat ribs and shrimp boil complete with brownie cake. We went back and finished shooting the rest of the fireworks.
My brother was in town, so we got to hang out. He showed us all about 500 of the almost 4000 pics he took in Italy will there for a mini-mester studying abroad. Dave and I also hung out with Joseph and Kelly Cox some throughout the weekend, since they live beside the Stimpson cabin.
We brought back my baby crib, a changing table that matches that my mom found, tons of baby clothes from the Gilberts, shelving for our dvds, and leftover food. I've cleaned off the furniture, cleaned the baby room, and now it's ready to paint. I plan on making curtains, and we've gotta put more shelving in her closet too. As of now each wall is gonna be a different color (my idea of green walls w/ purple curtains was shot down by the daddy). Even if we try to sale our house in the near future, we can always repaint the room to be more neutral if it doesn't sell quickly. Dave wants her room to be as colorful as possible...I think it's cute. My mom is probably coming up this week to help getting the painting started and help out getting other things set up.
We've had a breastfeeding class and 2 childbirth classes so far, 3 classes to go. We only have 8 weeks left before we get to hold Marlee in our arms!
