Belly Picture update

So here we are at 25 weeks and 5 days! The countdown shows about 100 days left. AHHH!!
She has been moving like crazy the past few days.  I am feeling good just get tired easy.  
Next doctors appointment I will be doing the glucose test to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes.  You have to drink this "stuff" and then have your blood taken an hour after. I hate shots. Wish me luck!

Camping trip

We went on a short weekend camping trip to Lost Lake in Oregon.  It was supposed to be ok weather, but it turned into a cold and wet trip.  We had fun though and it was really nice to get out of the house.  We had made a trip there one time before about 4 years ago this month. That trip was much different, the weather was beautiful and dry.  
The first day the weather tricked us!
It got a lot colder the next day. Thor is bundled up with Joe.

Happy Fathers Day!



So the last two weeks have been ok.  Getting use to the idea that Rusty isn't waiting for us to pick him up from somewhere or waiting in the garage for us each morning and all those other little things that are not in our daily schedules anymore has been hard.  I know I think about him everyday and wish for just one more hug I could give him and kiss on that huge head.  The tears still fall pretty easy for him.  You can tell Thor is missing him too; his big brother, his security blanket.  We continue to talk about all the stories we remember with Rusty, there are so many! 
Three days after saying goodbye to Rusty, Joe and I had our three year wedding anniversary.  We went to a place called McMenamins Edgefield, hard place to explain but it is really fun and pretty outdoor atmosphere. We ate dinner outside, played a couple games of pool and sat on a porch in rocking chairs just enjoying the time together.
This last weekend my Aunt Sheryl and cousin Alyssa were visiting us for a couple days before they headed on a road trip to Canada. And they are stopping through one more time tonight before they head back to California.  It was so fun to have them and visit!!  
I am 25 weeks along today and things are going great!  She is quite the mover and I enjoy every minute of it, it's still my favorite thing to just watch her kick and squirm around.  I will post a picture hopefully today so you can see how much we've grown! 
Joe is finally finished for the summer with going to his class at school, now he will just do an online course until the end of August.  He is doing wonderful as usual in school. This last class his professor asked to use one of his papers as an example for future classes! I'm so proud of him.
We are going camping this weekend at Lost Lake, Oregon.  We thought it would be fun to get away for the weekend and just relax.  Of course we would so much rather be celebrating Fathers Day with our Dads back home =(

Saying goodbye to a friend

Tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to our dog Rusty.  He is over 14 1/2 years old, and has been Joe's best bud since the day he was born.  If you have ever met Rusty you know he has the biggest, sweetest, kindest most loving heart and would do anything to have his head rubbed.  
Please keep us in your prayers.
You are so loved Rusty.
