Another Baby Room Update

After spending several evening after work sanding, drawing, and painting, (and I mean SEVERAL!!) I finally finished the baby's changing table/dresser. We bought the dresser on craigslist for $20 thinking we got a great deal. The dresser itself is in great shape, but the 300 or so stickers on the the dresser took a little elbow grease to remove. However, now that it's finally done, it's one of my favorite things in the room. August 20th is coming fast, but I'm starting to think that with a little luck, I just might have my honey-do list done on time.

FYI- Both sides of the dresser were also plastered with stickers. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Golfing With The Boys

After several attempts, I finally spent Sunday afternoon golfing with Nate, Kurt, and Ranek. Carrie hung out with Debbie and Ava while we were out playing. Getting Nate on the golf course has been such a rare event, I determined we needed some video documentation to prove he was there. Enjoy.

Work Baby Shower

This past Wednesday, May 14th, the ladies from work hosted my first baby shower. It was a wonderful day and we received lots of clothes and supplies for our little guy. Thanks so much Kristen, Janelle and Christie for putting on the shower. (They even had a chocolate fountain to dip food in along with cake, punch and other goodies! YUM!!!)

Anne and Carrie Last Photos

These photos were taken back on May 7th before we went out to dinner at Santiago's with the hopes that the spicy food would put Anne into labor. This is me 25 weeks pregnant and Anne 39 weeks pregnant. The food didn't work right away, but on May 9th Anne gave birth to Ethan Joshua. I'm sad that I no longer have my pregnant buddy, but am so happy that both Ethan and Anne are doing well. I hope to be in the same spot in three short months.
Congratulations Atherton family on your newest addition to the family. We can't wait for Noah, Ethan, and Baby Boy Bartmann to play together.

Grad School is DONE!

Yesterday was my last official class for grad school and I have submitted all my paperwork for graduation in August. It is so awesome to know that I don't have to attend Monday and Tuesday night classes anymore! I actually can go home after work instead of going to school two nights a week! The professors now have four weeks to review our portfolios and on June 2nd we all have to defend our portfolios for graduation. Other than that I have four weeks of teaching in July and I will have my master's degree! It has been a long two years getting this accomplished, but now that it is done it feels amazing! I have to thank my wonderful husband for putting up with the stressed out Me the past couple of weeks to get this portfolio complete. Now I can focus on finishing the school year and becoming a Mom!
