Welcome to our foyer! We really like having an entry, instead of walking right into our living room like you did in our old house. Across the hall from this table is the entrance to our laundry room & garage, as well as a wall featuring a large mirror. We've got to have that one last makeup & hair check before walking out the door!Wednesday

Jurassic Park
At one of the local marinas, the owners have decorated the long road to the docks with various metal sculptures of Chinese soldiers, pelicans, and more. Our favorite statues, though, are of the life-sized dinosaurs that are seen peeking out of the trees. The marina is in such a secluded spot that it feels just like you've stepped back into time or onto a movie set. We can only imagine how realistic they'd look on a foggy night......

Doctor, Doctor, Gimme Some News.....
We're now visiting the doctor every 2 weeks, and this week we had another routine appointment with Dr. Shoemaker, who we adore. He is the nicest person and so is everyone on his staff!
Apparently, Baby H is growing like a WEED! The doctor estimated his weight at 5 lbs 4oz, and even commented on how big he's getting. He said IF we make it full-term, he's going to be over 8 pounds. Holy Guacamole! The doctor's office doesn't seem to think we'll make it to our due date, as they've said something about it a few times. Works for us! Starting at the next appointment, we visit the doc every single week. Where has time gone?
We also toured the hospital and it was quite nice. Thomas is known to be one of the best hospitals in the area, so we're very glad to be delivering there....even though it's farther away than others in the area. We've tried several routes, and we've gotten it down to 34 minutes driving time. Of course, that's regular speed and who knows how fast Bo will be racing to the hospital when that day arrives!
Now we just need to practice installing the carseat and pack a bag for the hospital and we'll be ready. Well, as ready as we can ever be!

Guest Bedroom & Bath
Continuing the house tour, here are some photos of our guest bedroom and bath. The guest bath is located between the nursery and our guest bedroom, so this will also be the baby's bathroom. We decorated it in artwork that we got on our honeymoon in Nassau, and the colors are both beachy and great for a baby.
The guest bedroom also doubles as Tanner's craft room. You can see the tons of lidded baskets, hat boxes, and other storage items holding all sorts of goodies.....ribbon, fabric, scrapbooking supplies, and more.
There are still some things we'd like to do to this room, including painting the bedside tray table. It definitely works for now, though, and as you can see, furry Josie loves lounging in this room!

Happy Fall, Y'all!
It's officially fall! That means it's time for pumpkins, chili, fall festivals, apple cider, yummy-smelling candles, and eventually long-sleeved tees worn with flip-flops. Around here, fall also means amazing weather with no crowds to share it with!
We hope everyone can get out and enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of the season. Have a great fall!

Family Fun
This weekend, Tanner's Aunt Julia & Uncle Vern came down from New Jersey to visit. They are on a whirlwind tour of visiting all of Julia's brothers & sisters, and since it had been several years since Tanner's mom had seen her sister, we were thrilled to be on their travel schedule!
They arrived Friday night and we had a great time showing them around. We went on a one-mile nature hike, toured historic Ft. Morgan, ate some really good food, and listened to awesome stories of their trips to Africa, Tibet, and other far-flung areas. They are headed to China in a couple of months on a panda photography excursion, so we are hoping to see some awesome pictures when they return.
We hated to see them go, but it was so great catching up with them. We're hoping to meet up with them next time we head to Philadelphia, as they are great tour guides! Of course, now we're just jealous that we can't go to all those amazing places with them......but a 24-hour plane ride to Tasmania in January with a newborn may be a little much for anyone to handle!
