Missing You...

Yes, YOU, my blogger friends! It’s been too long. My sister finally put the pressure on and I told her I’d have a post up by today. What pressure. I was up all night, my mind swirling with ideas. I’m actually writing this at midnight with hopes that then I'll be able to fall asleep. So, here's my attempt to fill you in on the last four or so months.

Jon and I had a very exciting spring. I’ve decided there is nothing quite like Connecticut’s autumn and spring. Wow. Gorgeous scenery. Beautiful weather. I was loving it! To top that off we had some grand adventures and more guests! After the Ingram’s visit in March, we went down to Washington D.C. for a weekend during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Unfortunately there was a storm shortly before we arrived that wiped out most of the blossoms, but we found a few token trees and tried to get that perfect picture of course. We went down for one night to see two of Jon’s classmates run in a ten mile race. Then we explored the city—mostly the mall—free museums! We also went to Georgetown for one evening. I think D.C. is my favorite city. It was so beautiful, clean, and fun. We didn’t have nearly enough time to take it all in, but I’m so glad we got the opportunity to see it together.

Then Jon graduated in May, and his dad came out for the ceremony where Jon gave a speech! It was quite spectacular! :) Later in May Jon took Maya and drove out to Michigan to the lakes—aka heaven—for a Moore boy fishing trip. What a perfect break it was for Jon after all his hard work this last year. While he was away, I got the chance to chaperone the Bristow band and orchestra trip to Philadelphia. It was more like a vacation than work. We went on a dinner cruise on the Delaware River, spent one day at Six Flags, and toured Philadelphia another day. Plus one of my good friends from work, Laura, was the other female chaperone. What a great getaway while Jon was on his trip. When Jon returned, he came baring a little gift—Peter! Peter stayed with us for a little over a week. It was wonderful. Jon and he got to spend the days together while I was at work. Then on Saturday we went to Boston and embarked on a Duck Tour. Sunday we spent in NYC with Peter’s good friends Nate and Andrea. This was one of my favorite trips to New York even though we got rained out of Central Park. It was so great spending it with friends from home and getting to know Nate and Andrea better. What an awesome couple they are!

For such a busy spring, our summer really slowed down. Jon started his residency at the end of June at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and I took it easy with many 3 hour afternoon naps. I suppose pregnancy does that to a woman! Yep, that’s right we’re (well I’m) pregnant! We found out on June 19th, the day after school ended for me. I’m so glad it was summer during the first trimester because I was wiped out! Thankfully I was not very sick at all, mostly just tired. Whew! It feels so good to get that out! I can now start posting all of my fun pictures and milestones. I can’t wait to meet this little one. The expected arrival date is February 20, so that puts me at almost 14 weeks.

Here's a little sneak peek--quite adorable, right? :)

More in the morning…I think I got enough out of my head that I’ll be able to sleep now!
