We're having a heatwave, a tropical heat wave........it's too hot here even for Oscar to do anything but lie around. Temperatures in the 100s all week, folks! Thank goodness for AC:)

Here's Phil in front of our new car.

Me and Phil at our baby shower last Monday at school.

Summertime, and the living is easy.......

Buon giorno, tutti!

Well, our school year has come to a close as of today. Now Phil and I can just rest up for the big event that has been cleared to happen! The past few months have been both busy and dragging at times, but we both made it through. Phil was busy this spring with the men's soccer team again. I have been very active with some end of the year activities with our 6th grade class--a Pizzathon, Renaissance/Medieval Festival, field trips, etc.

Recently, we had some painting donw inside of our house, namely to the baby's room, guest bedroom, and kitchen. Check out our Yahoo photo albums to see what the house looks like now. For some reason, the direct link to the albums is not working, so here is our log in information:

It's Mr. Cooper at nearly 5 months (tomorrow). Look how his dad is trying to push baseball on him--the poor kid!:)

Okay, so his belly's not quite as big as mine, but iw was worth a shot! This picture was taken last Sunday at our end of the year party. The other belly belongs to Chief Naab, our school liasion to the Navy.

Baby belly at 36 1/2 weeks--it's almost time!

A recent picture of our nephew, Cooper. Apparently he is already quite the water enthusiast! Anyway, my hope is that his cute picture distracts you from the grotesque pregnant lady in the picture below!
