Our Day In Photos- Ghetto, Grandma, and More!

We were supposed to go to the fair today (big surprise) but I'm not feeling so great and the thought of taking the kids to the fair was exhausting. Can you believe we didn't go!?!

We did something else that I love though. We took a drive through the ghetto. I love finding urban/ghetto backdrops for taking photos.

I found some backdrops that I love. The only problem was my squinty, less than cooperative model. So, please ignore Keegan and see if you like these backdrops! I plan to take him back when it's not so bright so he can open his eyes and lower his hand.

Again, ignore Keegan. He said it was too bright.
Does anyone else appreciate these urban backdrops for photos?? Maybe I'm just odd.

Then we went to my grandma's house. She just loves seeing the kids. I love how they make her smile.
Tonight we went hiking using the trails that connect our subdivision to a local park. Here are pics from the hike and then at the park:

An attempt at a sibling picture turned into this:
How cute are they walking up this big hill?!:
Now I'm just healing from a toothache and jaw pain.... caused by a sinus infection...because I had pink eye for about 3 months straight. That's our day!

I love the pics! I agree with Tabitha...the one of the blue door is my favorite background. The last photo you posted, of Nathan and Keegan, reminds me of a picture that would be on the front of a book for Dad's...or something like that. Great shot!

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Image
Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
