Almost there!

This might be my last post before little Messy Mess arrives. Here are a few final pictures of her days inside my tummy.

Pouty lips!

Hand in front of her face.

Cute, cute, cute!

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at the ballpark! It was a beautiful day to be there. And lucky us, our last row seats in the upper deck just happened to be in the shaded part of the stadium with a nice breeze blowing in from the back. And even better, the Twins won. And I got to see Joe Mauer play! Meredith was most excited about getting cotton candy. She had been looking forward to that for at least a week! And then of course, she got her face painted with Hello Kitty. AND, she got to wear her red, white, and blue tie-dye shirt she made in preschool. We had a fabulous afternoon!

37 weeks pregnant here and you can't even tell from this picture...hehehehehe!

Cabin

Meredith made her first trip this year out to the cabin last weekend. Her Juana came up on Saturday to pick her up and keep her overnight and Greg and I joined them out there the next day. It's so fun to see how excited they get at this age about stuff like that. Her excitement over the days preceding the cabin were filled with as much anticipation as a 3-year-old can muster up.

Here she is getting ready to head out with Juana.

She gave Daddy a big goodbye hug.

Mommy got a big goodbye hug as well.

Mer had a blast out at the lake. I don't think I've ever seen her as tired as she was. When we got her home the next day, she slept until 10:30 a.m.

She played with sticks and leaves.

She played with my weird uncle Robin.

And she played with my weird uncle David.

It was the perfect weekend at the cabin. Doesn't this look beautiful?

It was perfect weather for swimming. Thanks for keeping your eye on her Mary Jo!

We made some s'mores after dinner over the fire.

And she hung out with Juana some more in the hammock.
