Labor Day

We went to Baton Rouge for the weekend and had a WONDERFUL time! We arrived around 1:30am Saturday morning. When everyone woke up we ate a delicious breakfast and sat around talking until lunch time. We went and ate at DeAngelo's for lunch, then went downtown to the USS KIDD. It was overcast so it wasn't too hot, just a little muggy. After that we went back to Aunt Ann's house and I took a 4 hour nap while all the other girls went shopping.
That night, Chad and Daniel grilled a wonderful dinner.

Sunday morning we got up and went to New Orleans to visit a Children's Museum. It was mostly interactive and Veronika really enjoyed it. We visited the Aquarium for a few hours and then went downtown. We saw an old lady dancing in the street with an old homeless man and several other odditities that I will not post here (he.he.he) On our way home we drove around looking at some of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina then headed back to Aunt Ann's house.

Oh Baby!

Well Morning Sickness has struck...or should I say all day sickness. For the FIRST time in my life, I don't want to eat but that is the only thing that will keep me from being sick. I am trying to be thankful...so many women would LOVE to be experiencing this instead of dealing with infertility. Sometimes it is hard to remember what a blessing this feeling is, but then I just think about the end result and it makes it worthwhile.

Veronika's First Day

These are some pictures from Veronika's First Day of Kindergarten. She was so excited and didn't cry or fuss at all. She had an easier time than her dad, mom, and I. We got to go the night before she started Kindergarten and see her room and meet her teacher so I am sure that helped with the 1st Day Jitters!
