The Excitement is Building

I am just around the corner from 27 weeks and I just can't believe it! I mean time is really flying right now. I felt that the 1st trimester just dragged, but this 2nd trimester is moving right along. This is probably helped by the fact that I feel great and have loads of energy. I understand that this will be soon coming to an end, so I am trying to take as much advantage of it as possible. Here's a little photo collage that Allan put together of my bebe belly.

Amazing how quickly it has grown! (It's even bigger now)

A couple of weekends ago my Uncle Mike and Aunt Judy came to London for a nice little visit in celebration of 37 years of marriage. We were lucky enough to get to spend a full day with them and it was a blast! We got to do things that I hadn't done while living here in London which was really nice. They also brought loads of goodies from the states including food and a gorgeous quilt made by Judy and a cute little framed poem. Here are a few photos from that day.

Last Saturday Nicole and I met up and had a crafty Saturday at the Tooting Tram and Social. This was the second craft class that I had participated in with Nicole. Last time we made tea towels which was a lot of fun! But I have to say that this class was super cool and I would totally take making shrinky jewellery as a hobby.  Here's a little shot of my favourite piece that I made. :-)

Isn't he cute?!?

Yesterday we got an absolutely stunning care package from Shelly and John in Texas for little Charles. I can't even begin to describe how sweet the items were that they sent us! Here's just a snippet of the items: cute lil' onesies, a little Texas State Bobcat tee, stuffed animal with adorable blanket, another amazingly soft blankie, dungarees!, an adorable outfit and little Air Jordan booties!!! Auntie Shell and Uncle John are spoiling him already!
