Here's a most recent profile shot of the ever extending belly. The baby is active in spurts, and sleeps a lot, too...he's very responsive to a little caffeine: if I have a few sips of coffee he'll be on overdrive in moments. We're feeling good and keeping up with the daily walks as much as possible now. Last weekend Sam and I hiked our nice 5 1/2 mile trail in the woods and that always calms us down even on a busy day, which it was. It took a few traffic jams to get to the park, but we made it and enjoyed the 80 degree day with some fresh air.
The weekend before last Lisa, Alyssa and Katie all came for a visit and we had a great catch up. They were here for the neighborhood yard sale and we spent the morning hauling things out to the curb, setting it up, figuring out what to charge...and then sat there on the porch for most of the day reading magazines and drinking fruity drinks while the few customers trickled by. Yes, we did manage to sell a few things, but most of it was either donated at the end of the day or is back in the basement. It was awesome having them here and made the whole thing a lot more fun. Given the turnout of shoppers, I'm not sure I would do it again soon. I was pretty surprised it was such low attendance after all the advertising and the fact that 45 sales were going on at the same time! Maybe the weather was just too beautiful for people to spend the day trolling the sales...
While we were manning the sale, Sam and Mike took to the grill and made ribs and smoked chicken. In the afternoon we pulled together some potato salad, veggies, etc. and had a lovely meal at the end of the day out back - the first real grill out of the season. What can be better than good friends, food, and a sunny spring day?!
