N, N, N with a D. D, D, D with an A. N with a D. D with an A. NDA!
You guessed it! Last night we celebrated our 10 year reunion from Notre Dame. About 45 girls attended and a blast was had by all. It was wonderful to catch up with so many old faces. Many agreed that most people looked the same - except those of us with babies in our bellies! (which was quite a few!) What a wonderful time to see old friends and watch old video yearbooks that many of us had forgotten about. Thanks for the memories girls! -and you can bet that I remember last night since I could not partake in that open bar. Hope you're all feeling good =)
PS - Go Cavs! Check out all those SJS girls! St. Thomas is representing, but sorry stagnes...no shots of you girls.

A Final Shower Thank You!

This past weekend was our 5th and final baby shower. Yes, we know we've been blessed with more baby showers than we deserved. (We've had more than we had for our wedding.) Becky and Sara hosted a "girlfriends" shower perfect with a celebrity baby name game, homemade onesies, and delicious food. (You girls are the GREATEST and thought of everything!) We all had a blast and this baby was set by the time we left. Matt and I couldn't ask for better friends and family to celebrate this time with us. You all are so wonderful - we can't wait for this baby to officially meet you!



Baby Z's Great Aunt Maria hosted a baby shower for us which was of course wonderful! (By the way - Maria is the baby's "aunt" -no Great allowed- b/c we agreed this aunt is too young!) This little babe got to meet second cousin Oliver for the first time (only 3 months old!) and got to hang out with tons of family. A special thanks to Jessica Blaze for flying in from Chicago for us. What a MUCH appreciated surprise! Next time you're in, I'll be a mommy! Thanks again to everyone for your generous gifts. We love them and are so thankful!


Announcing the Amazing Swimming Boxer!


Can you believe this dog?! Indi loves to go swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's. She gets especially excited when her cousin Belle is there to swim with her. It is so funny to watch Indi leap into the pool like this. She actually walks out on the step and then jumps from inside the water.....can you tell we're ready for kids?

The baby's room is ALMOST ready. Just some last minute organization of the bookshelf and changing table and of course decorations for the wall. We'll probably wait on some of those until we know if it's a boy or girl.
Thanks again to everyone who has been so generous in giving gifts to our little baby in preparation for his or her precious life with us!

Another friend for little Nathan or Anna! We celebrated Tina's baby at a shower for her on Sunday hosted by Gina and Shauna. Everything was beautiful and the games were so fun - what great planning girls! (We missed you and your baby Katie!) Definitely a fabulous time was had by all and we can't wait to meet little Linnemann in August.

32 weeks pregnant! Almost there!






After graduation, we headed to Cumberland for a little R & R. Indi absolutely LOVED hanging out with her cousins all weekend. She ran, wrestled, and her favorite was swimming in the pond. (Isn't she the cutest!)



Matt and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on Tuesday
as we headed home for Northern KY.

School is finally out. It's crazy how fast the year went by! Graduation was Saturday at Thomas More and it was definitely a bit sad for me (probably more so than the seniors!) It felt like MY graduation since it's official that I'm not going back next year. - I do plan on subbing though - I definitely love SHDHS and will miss it, and those wonderful seniors, very much!
