Catch Up from Last Week

The boys are finally back in school, so I have a little extra time to work on things that have been put on the back burner lately (like the nursery!).  I was slacking a little with posts recently, so here's a look at the last week to get me caught up.

Last Wednesday, Josh's mom took Dave to meet his sister and her kids (Sophie and Caleb) and a YMCA water park thing in Indy.  Dave was a little sick for the festivities, but I heard he was a trooper anyway.  I enjoyed Dave being gone while we were at work-definitely a nice treat!

Picture Divana sent us of Dave a the water park.  Love the hat-it was his when he was very little and has now returned to us for the new baby!








After last week's post about Dave's new job, we went out and bought him his very own weed sprayer.  He is obsessed with it.  It's just filled with water, so he's actually helping the weeds grow, but at least it occupies him for long periods of time.

My mom came over from Columbus for the weekend, so she was able to get lots and lots of Dave time while she was here.

Super cute picture of my mom and Dave.








On Saturday, my mom watched Dave for us while we went to Fort Wayne to do a little shopping.  I updated my maternity wardrobe a little bit, and Josh and Dave got some new shoes.  On the way back to town, we drove through a really violent storm and then noticed a bunch of smoke a little ways off the road.  So we drove down to see what was going on.

 An entire barn had caught fire from the lightning.






The owner had just realized what was going on when we pulled up, so I called 911 (first time for me) and Josh tried to convince the guy to stop trying to put out the fire.  Everyone was out of the house, and they were able to get most of their valuables out.  We left shortly after the fire department arrived because the guy had a huge gas tank right next to the barn that we didn't want to be around.



Josh happened to drive back by the next day and this is what it looked like.




So, all in all, we had a very eventful week.  I think we are going to go visit the zoo on Friday since it's supposed to be nice and I'm not going to feel like going much longer!  Also, we're putting the finishing touches on the nursery, so I'll do a post about that here soon.
