Update

Things are still going really well with the pregnancy. At our last appointment, the doctor told me I was having a pretty boring pregnancy...but that it was a good thing. The baby...and I...are growing as we should. We had another sonogram...but sadly this time we didn't get a picture! I have another appointment the beginning of August so I will definitely be asking for a new picture then.

Here is the most recent picture of me...a little hard to see my tummy with my over sized t-shirt...but it is definitely there.


Here is a better shot of the growing belly...this is me at 18 weeks and 5 days:

I have moved almost completely to maternity clothes...they are just so much more comfortable...I am still a little too small for them...but something tells me it won't be long!

Wedding Weekend ~ July 4th-July 6th

The Hommerding-Murtagh Wedding Extravaganza started with Molly, Katie and I mixing up batch after batch of cookies for wedding favors. Katie and I helped mix, but we left the baking up to Molly. She baked on the 4th of July for something like 9 hours! They all turned out FANTASTIC and her jars of cookies looked fantastic on the favor table at the reception.




While Molly baked, the rest of the family...and there were a lot of us... hung out by the pool in the sun all day! It was a blast watching the kids run around coming up with all different types of games to play. At one point the volleyball net came out, but after a few games sadly it was broken!
The following day was the big wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception was a blast. Katie and I had a hard time at the ceremony, but we made it through the reception...well, mostly!




The day after the wedding was packed with more fun in the sun by the pool! And more excellent grilling by my father! I think the grill was always going...I think the only breaks my dad got were quick dips in the pool to cool off! I am not sure how much food we went through, but with the amount of people there...I know it was A LOT!



It was a wonderful weekend with lots of family and fun! We were sad it was over, but so happy for Mark and Molly! And as sad as it was, it was nice to get back to our normal routine. Congrats you two! We love y'all very much!
