Almost there!

Here is hopefully our final shot (as was with her brothers) of mama's belly at 37 weeks. This pregnancy has been fairly uneventful and Baby Maya is growing well measuring on time (despite the much larger belly!) We are all ready to meet her. Stay tuned!

Go Colts!

We all got to head to the season opener for the Indianapolis Colts. Although we did not win in the end, a nice time was had by all...

The Mini-Mini

Both the boys ran in their first race during the recent Mini-mini. Emmett ran first, entered as a 4 year old...

Emmett finished his first race (1/2 mile) in 6:14. 

Then Elias ran his race....

And he's off!

Elias finished in 7:34 (1 mile). He placed 7th of 200.

Prepping for Baby Maya

Getting the barrel ready for our newest monkey has been fun!Not only have we put together the nursery, but the boys' room got a bit of an upgrade as well.

Mommy just supervised....

We had a little sprinkle for Baby Maya. Hosted by great friends.

Best cake ever. Mexico-themed sprinkle!

So many great gifts!

Mama's good friend and doula.

Beautiful blankets

Celebrating our little monkey!

We are gonna be stars!

We were invited to make a commercial! Our family was asked to be in a commercial for hemophilia. The whole experience was fun and exhausting at the same time. The boys were all real troupers including doing their infusions on screen. Pretty proud of our monkeys!

Back to school!

Summer is short when you are on a balanced calendar. Elias is starting his 3rd year at the Center for Inquiry. He is really excited to start Second Grade with Ms. Nocton. 

Picture with Bowie for his All About Me project.
Elias wants to run a Doggie Daycare when he grows up.

We learned how to tie shoes this year!

Summer Fun!

Summer is now winding down. Back in our school and work routine. We are getting ready for our new little monkey. We had so much fun over the summer, we forgot to post all the fun! Here are the highlights....

So long 1st grade!

Summer reading. Were are Hamilton crazy this summer. It has been our summer anthem!

The Tribe got all fancied up in support of the zoo for Zoobiliation. 

Our Indy Eleven won the Spring Championship. Everyone stormed the field to congratulate our Boys in Blue. (Elias is not pictured as he was a little lost in the crowd after seeking out his favorite player John Busch.)

Elias had a big milestone this summer. He went away to Hemophilia Summer Camp at Camp Brave Eagle. It was the first time he has been away from the barrel for that long (6 days!).

No trip to Ventura County is  complete without a visit to Mr. Hanada. Here are two pregnant women living dangerously! But it was so good! 

A visit to the Ventura Pier and the beach.

We also had a special trip planned to a theme park. Of course all the hemophiliacs had to factor up! (Emmett not pictured due to the photographer and being able to access a port and take the picture...)

Universal Studios

Hogsmeade!!! These little wizards' dream come true.

When in Hogsmeade, drink beer! Butterbeer that is!
