The sweetest neighbor ever

Background: I have been yelled at by two of our neighbors just as Tahoe has set himself up to go poop in their yard since we've moved here. So . . .I'm a bit jumpy about front doors opening when we pass houses, especially when Tahoe is positioning himself in a yard to take care of business.

A couple of days ago, Tahoe picked one of his favorite yards out to take care of his business. This home has recently sold and I haven't yet met the new neighbors so I was a bit worried that the new neighbors might prefer him not use their yard as a toilet. (Yes, I carry poop bags and use them!) Of course as he poops and I lean down to clean it up, the door swings wide open. Oh, no! She's going to yell at me. Instead, she told me to leave it and she'd take care of it. What a sweet lady! And neighbors beware: Tahoe favors weed-free Bermuda yards!

Pictures from Atlanta Shower . . .

Since most folks just like the pictures, I thought I'd go ahead and try to get some up from our trip to Georgia where the Entrekin clan hosted a shower for DM. It was SO much fun to see everyone but unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the Entrekin clan with me. :( Pregnancy update coming later this week. Amie, me, Rowena, and Mom

Me and Angela

MaryAnne, Kelli, me, and Mom

Me and Jane (Stand-in for MIL and she has always been so great to David and me!)

The neighbors from Carriage Station - I'm by far the baby but they always included me.

Casey and Robin

Cyndi and Isabella

Becky and DM's boyfriend-to-be Nate

Holly and Amy - I have only survived pregnancy because of these two sweet friends. Of course, loads of Amy's advice probably hailed from Holly when Amy was pregnant a few years ago so Holly doesn't realize how helpful she has been. Not so sure where the Patterson house would be without Amy's willingness to answer all of my random questions. And I'm sure the questions are really just beginning ...

Merry Christmas to All!

A table my mom gave us for DM's nursery but I'm enjoying it for now!

The bathroom is complete!

The contractors have left the building! With several setbacks, a simple remodel turned in to a six week adventure. We're still waiting on a piece of trim and shower curtain to arrive, but for the most part, David has a shiny new GREEN bathroom.

Babies, babies everywhere!

Maggie, Kristine, and Teresa
As many of you know, David comes from a very large family and has more cousins than I think I have relatives combined. On our trip out, my MIL Jeannie and I attended a baby shower for David's cousin Teresa. On every trip out there is a pregnant cousin or a wedding, but it was quite odd to be one of the pregnant women this time.

We're in California with the Pattersons!

I just want to take Kate and Michael's lab (sil and bil) home with us! Yes, this is what she normally wears due to health issues. She seems to not mind at all.

Grant isn't really a fan of sharing his Momma.

Here is a pregnant picture of me for those who have been asking.
Random pregnancy comment of the month: A lady said to me "Oh, I love how you're wearing your hear frizzy now!" Well, lady, the reason why it is being worn CURLY NOT FRIZZY is because the top of my hair broke off early in my pregnancy and I've been trying to grow it back out to wear it straight again.

Rain follows us wherever we go

We'll just say we didn't wake up to a pretty morning like this in CA today. But everyone ventured out to Napa with me in the rain. And rain, it did!

If finally stopped raining. We were able to get outside for a bit. Yep, I was the pregnant lady at the wineries but it was still beautiful scenery.
