The New Baby

Jeremy and Sam's new baby that is. (Jennifer's

brother and sister-in-law) Gradie Marie was

born 7/16/07 at 8:10pm by c-section. She came

in at 8 lbs 10 ozs and was 18 inchs long. Mom and

baby are doing good and I think Brother and Maddie

are doing good as well. Maddie is asking to go to the

hospital to see her baby sister alot so I think she likes

being a big sister.

@ 7 months

I am now 28 weeks and 4 days. Ethan is still as active

as ever. I get good morning & good night kicks and every-

thing in between. I now have bad cravings for Coldstone's

coffee lovers only ice cream, and I don't even like coffee!!

I try to indulge just a little but I don't want to go overboard.

Hanging Rock, NC

Note the sigh behind them, so comforting to Mommy!
Finally at the top!!

This was the Hanging Rock trail. You start at an elevation of

800 ft above sea level and hike to about 2300 ft above sea level

in about 1.2 miles. It was alot of work to get two small children

and a very pregnant woman up to that point, but it was well

worth the hike and the pain that came later.

On the way back down the trail, Cole came across a turtle he named Bob.

Window Falls
We went on these trails after we had already

hiked to Hanging Rock. They were suppose to

be marked easy, yah right, going down was the

easy part because you went down hill but coming

back up, you had stairs, lots of stairs and it was all

uphill. Needless to say, the next day was a rest day.

We visited a park in High Point the first weekend we were

down there. It was very nice because besides the huge play-

ground they had, they also had a train you can ride, a merry-go-

round and they had a pool area. We all had a good time.
