Due today....

Today is our son's due date- he is fully cooked now at 40 weeks...unfortunately he has not arrived yet. There have been suddle signs of it coming closer, but no labor- although we are anxiously wating. We have been keeping our selves busy with house cleaning, golf (for Dave) and going for walks with Piper. To entertain you while we wait here is a pic of me today and a few of the baby room (not totally completed but gives you an idea). We'll keep you posted of any news....

Not for the weak stomach...

Here are pics from Piper's obstructions surgery...hope you are not eating lunch because it is literally blood and guts.

Erin and Emilie taking care of my doggie. This is where the water bottle/string was stuck. Here it comes... All better! Clean up.

Hope you weren't too grossed out- and if so sorry but its my blog.

Dog Emergency

I thought we might be able to get away with just one major surgery per pet per year (Mosey rubber band surgery, Piper broken leg, now this)...but Piper proved us wrong....Monday morning she started throwing up, acting lethargic and very clinging so I took her in. They didn't find anything on the xrays so I got to take her home. That night she got worse and worse, she couldn't get comfortable and was extremely nauseous, dry heaving every half hour. Needless to say Dave wasn't home and I didn't sleep at all.

I took her in first thing in the morning and after a few more test they decided she was not getting better and she need to go to surgery to make sure nothing was stuck in her intestines.....Well sure enough there was something stuck, a couple sharp pieces of water bottle and string from a rope toy!!! (Dang Dollar Tree toys!)

Thankfully the doctors at Animal Care Clinic acted quickly because if we did not remove those objects she would have died. I couldn't handle another pet tragedy in this pregnancy. All is well now Pipe dog is recovering and my stress level is back down. Dave made it home for the surgery but had to leave the next day- he was concerned that with all my worry I might go into labor so he put me on "husband bed rest" - relax and do as little as possible until he comes home Saturday so this baby would stay put....so far so good.

I will post pics this weekend of the surgery and of the million dollar mutt.

3 Years

3 Years ago today Dave and I tied the knot! It has been an amazing 3 years- we have seen God's blessings and challenges. Our friendship and love has never been stronger and we have such a sweet adventure coming in the next week or so. This little boy is going to have one incredible daddy- I know because he is a wonderful husband- I love you Babe!

Daniel Seymour Benefit

Many of you know our neighbor Daniel has cancer and we were helping put on a benefit for him. The golf tournament and lunch was at Avila Beach Golf Resort this last weekend and it was totally successful. God blessed the day with amazing weather and he moved in peoples hearts to give generously- more than we could have hoped or imagined. Here are a few pics from the day....

Angelina and Daniel visiting with friends.Silent AuctionThe amazing original painting Dave and I bid on and won!!! It looks incredible in our living room above the fireplace.

Messina Seymour caught cupcake handed!

Now we need to pray that the chemo treatments are working and that God would heal him of the cancer....if he can part the waters of the Jordan he can certainly take this cancer away.

Me at 36 weeks (9 months)- Big Mama. This was actually last week...just lagging on the posts.
