Still Alive!

Sorry about the lack of posts! It was a crazy (but very fun) May. Now school is out and I can sit down for a few minutes to update everyone on what's happening lately.

Dave has been busy with projects around the house. He's nesting more than I am!
First, I told him I would like a buffet for our new dining room. He's a handy man, so instead of buying new, he found this one on Craig's list (solid oak and eight feet long!) for only $60. He revamped it to match our kitchen. Good job, babe!


Dave removed the very ornate doors and built some new ones that look just like our pantry doors. It is all very coordinated and fancy!




He also helped construct new benches around the devotional fire pit at camp. Thay are high class...like everything else Dave does.


Next, he built me a riased bed where I can plant my vegetables. I'm hoping they actually grow considering all the hard work Dave put in! This picture doesn't show it filled (or planted) but that's all happening now!



Between projects we went to Kristen's Wedding! It was a great time, and yes, pregnant ladies can dance! A little bit of ABBA and Craig shook me all night long!


We also went camping with the Jungs, Mom, and Rachel over Memorial Day weekend. This was our amazing campsite. The rest of Beaver Creek State Park (eastern Ohio) was OK. But we had good food, some nice hikes and great company. I think Mom and I were the dominant team in CornHole.

And the latest news around the Vandercar house is that three new kittens showed up on our porch last week! Jade is showing some maturity in that she hasn't eaten them yet. I think she likes the company.



Also, Welcome to God's Family Isabel!


Baby is doing well and moving around like CRAZY! We're able to feel features now, instead of vague bumps...there are times when that's definitely a foot or an elbow or a butt. Time is flying and we are so excited to get to see and hold Baby!! Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts! Much love to everybody!

  3. I like the Jade and kitty comment!

    If you painted your buffet red, Tammy might have me come steel it in the middle of the night!

  5. The more I look at your buffet pictures, the more I wonder how many hide-n'-seekers you'll find inside someday! :) (And I realize that my last two comments were about my jealousy of various things...I think it's the progress that I envy. We've been too busy to make much progress on our projects!)
