My dear girls....We had our end-of-the-year CLC cookout at my house. I am so incredibly blessed to have met these girls and to be together with them for two years now. As their senior year comes to a close, I am so excited to learn where their different paths take them next year. Girls, I know you will be so successful! I can't thank you enough for all that you've given me these past few years at SHDHS. It has been so wonderful to watch you, teach you, and offer advice. Your surprise "shower" tonight meant so much! We REALLY appreciate all your thoughtfulness! You've already spoiled Baby Blaze too much - I can't wait till you all get to meet. Enjoy your senior summer! I love you girls!

The room is still a work in progress and will be completed when mommy finishes work next week. We will definitely show the finished product!

Look how spoiled this baby is already! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has given us these wonderful gifts to start our baby's life. We feel blessed beyond what we deserve. Thank you!

30 Weeks at the Mother's Day shower! This baby is so healthy! We got to hear the heartbeat on Tuesday and we start seeing the doctor every 2 weeks now. It seems so close now that we're in the "30s"

.....Nathan or Anna will be here soon!!!!

On Sunday, I celebrated my first Mother's Day! Aunts Mandy and Tina had a "Zumbiel Family" shower for me and the little babe. It was so perfect! We had lunch, games, and of course this baby was blessed with so many wonderful gifts.

Thanks for a fantastic day!

Oops! We're a little behind on the blogging! (We left our camera at a friend's house.).....The Flying Pig Marathon was Sunday May 6 in Cincinnati. Matt and Jonathan were troopers, fighting through injuries and completing the Half together. Congratulations! You guys did great! Training for another Full is in the works....

Today we had a wonderful mini ADPi reunion (Hoopty, Maras, McKenz, Smalls, Kay-Fay, Blaze)! Thanks to Katie for hosting a fabulous brunch, we were able to catch up on much missed time apart. Today was so precious to me and I just loved seeing your smiling faces, catching up, and laughing together. It's been way too long girls!!!! Let's make sure we stay in touch better and work on an annual trip. Pi Love and mine!!!!

Today Baby Z is 26 1/2 weeks old and we had a monthly doctor's visit. Matt and I get so excited for these because we can't wait to hear our little Babe's heartbeat. Of course it's so strong and healthy since our little Nathan or Anna is so active bouncing everywhere! Lots of exercise in mommy's tummy!

Sunday was our Baby's first shower hosted by Hudson's mommy Aunt Courtney (and Grandma Collins)! She did a beautiful job planning the nesting theme. Thanks Courtney - it was absolutely perfect!!!! Daddy and big sister Indi had a wonderful time putting some gifts together.

We headed to South Bend, IN for Easter weekend. We celebrated with Matthew, Kasey, Maria, and Brian. It was a wonderful time despite the snow!

We decided to start our online "family album" after inspiration from a sorority sister (thanks Katie Simms Jensen!). We hope this will be enjoyable for family and friends to watch the progression of our newest family member. Little baby Zumbiel is growing so much and ready to be introduced to the world! We can't wait to share this part of our lives with those closest to us - ENJOY!!!
