Summer time

Here I am sporting my 20 week belly. We have been feeling the baby kick much stronger in the last few days so for that I am so pleased. The big ultrasound is on Monday so I will put up a picture of our new baby when that happens. Good news on that, Adam has changed his mind about a baby girl name that I love, Layla, so that one is back in the mix! Try to ignore my super red face. I had just gotten out of the shower and put on this face cream that has Salicylic Acid in it.
We got the ol Chariot converted into the bike buggy. Nolan is loving the rides. The other day we all pedaled up to Marble Slab and enjoyed some pre-dinner cones. Yum! Adam is making the pregnant women work for her treats as the buggy is hooked up to my heavy mountain bike. No mercy I swear.
The boy and his dog. Nolan loves Kaiser so much. Maybe a little too much. He is always touching him, patting him, kissing hugging and the other week Kaiser had enough of all the "love" and growled then barked in the face of my child. Not a good move. He was promptly removed and had his tail kicked in before being cast out to the backyard for the next two days while I contemplated his fate and continuance as a Wickes family member. We are happy to report that Kaiser has since been let back in and has learned his place in the family structure as it relates to our little one. He has been a great dog and we are happy for his obedience. I think he is too.
Last night after our long bike ride I was resting my legs in the couch when Nolan just climbed up with me and cradles himself in my arms. There he sat just chatting away with me. He is 16 mo old so of course there was a lot of up and down, crawling over mom, jumping up crashing down then right back into my arms. I love my little boy so much.
Last week was a crummy summer day so we took the fun indoors at H2Oasis (indoor water park). Nolan got a kick out of dunking Adam under the water.

Wow, those are some great pics! thanks for explaining the red face as I was a little worried!! :-) You still don't really even have a belly! It is so little and you are halfway there! I love the bike buggy pic with Nolan's helmet on, he looks like a young Lance Armstrong or biker!! The pic of Nolan and Kaiser is priceless, and I am soooooo glad Layla is back in the mix!! I love that name, you never hear of it!! (thanks Adam for reconsidering!) You look absolutely gorgeous in the pic on the couch.. You shoud be an expectant mom model. Once again, I look at Adam in the pool and I see Kyle. Cute pic of the two of them! thanks for all the pics!!

Fun to see what you all are up to! Maddie folds her hands before we eat, too and sometimes if Josh & I forget that's our gentle reminder. She always shouts "Ye-ye" at the end. I guess it's her version of Amen. The belly looks great and I'm glad to see you're making the most of your (short) time as a family of three! Only 20 weeks to go until the happy chaos begins!

Tiffany, your belly is so cute! All of the pictures are great. The one of Nolan and Kaiser is definitely a winner! You should get that one framed. You have such a beautiful family, and we can't wait for the new addition to get here!
