In honor of National Blueberry Month, we hosted a Blueberry Ice cream Sundae Playdate on Tuesday. I made homemade blueberry (from the blueberries we picked on our Memphis trip) and vanilla ice creams and had various sprinkles and toppings.

Everyone enjoyed eating ice cream before lunch!

After everyone left, Molly snuck back into the kitchen to eat more toppings. This is how I found her! And then she insisted on having sprinkles on her plate for lunch.

Chad and I were married seven years ago today, but we've been together for almost 12! It's been a wonderful journey together, and I know it's only going to get better!

If you're feeling nostalgic and want to relive our grand day, you can see pictures here.

We've been working for the past few weeks to turn our once Office/Guest room into Molly's big girl room. We finally finished the transition today. Chad made these panoramic photos so you could get the feel of the room.

Chad worked all week to sand and paint these formerly stained table and dresser. They turned out great! I originally volunteered to do this, but the lady at Sherwin Williams vetoed that.

After Molly woke up from her nap, we showed her the room, and all she wanted to do was play in there!

She is now asleep in her new bed. She did great with the bedtime routine, so let's hope she sleeps tight until morning! You can see more detailed pictures here.

Yesterday we met Jake and Josie at Patapsco Valley State Park Tire Playground. The kids had a great time climbing through and over the tires. They played hard and only after an hour were tired (ha!) and ready to head home.

We had yet another follow-up ultrasound last week. Everything looked great with Baby Girl. She is measuring right on track, and is roughly 3.5 lbs. They were able to print some 3D images of her for us, so here's another glimpse of her sweet little face.

We spent an extra long 4th of July weekend in Savannah. Molly did incredibly well on the 11+ hour drive. We didn't even have to use the portable DVD player! Chad's Grandaddy lives on the water, which makes for lots of fun and relaxation.

Molly had a great time exploring baby crabs,

gazing into the water and watching boats ride by,

running on the dock,

and most importantly, relaxing with Daddy in the hammock.

We saw a lot of family since most of Chad's family lives in Savannah, but I think Molly had the best time with cousin Aidan.

And Molly was still looking as cute as ever!

You can see the rest of the pictures from our trip here.

Last week, Molly and I ventured to Memphis for a visit with G'Mom, Grampa, Aunt 'Chelle, and Emmie. If you saw me in the airport, you would have thought I was a crazy woman - toddler in stroller, diaper bag, purse, carseat in carrying case, and hugely pregnant! We spent 4 days visiting and had lots of adventures.

First we painted plates at Paint a Piece using paint brushes, hands, and feet.

Then we went swimming in a neighbor's pool. Molly's favorite part was squirting Grampa with the water gun.

We started out our second full day with some blueberry picking at Nesbit Blueberry Plantation. Molly did a great job and found lots of good blueberries hidden on the underside of the bushes.

That evening, after eating some home-made blueberry ice cream, Mom, Michelle and I combined all of our craft talents and worked together to make a tag blanket for baby girl #2.

Any time Emmie was playing on the floor, Molly liked playing with her. I hope this is a sign of how great of a big sister she will be!

There are a lot more pictures from our trip. You can view them here.

Today we helped Allison celebrate her 2nd birthday. The girls (and mommies) have been friends since Molly was 3 months old!

As always, Molly loves cake. Molly's reflection does as well.

I made Allison a ribbon shirt and bow. Allison loved the bow and sported a double-bow look the rest of the party!

Here's a close-up of the ribbon shirt.

And although Molly has already modeled her shirt at Aunt Caroline's party, here's a close-up of her ribbon shirt.

We did a 3D ultrasound for baby #2 on Friday, which is very cool if you've never seen one. She cooperated very well, though the umbilical cord was in her face the whole time. Here's the video of the whole session (which is quite large and lasts 17 minutes). And if you'd like to see some still pics from our session, they're available here.
