Mara Lake

It's been a while since our last post as we have been SO busy!  While there are not many baby updates at the moment, a lot has still been going on.  The only real update on our little man is that he has been kicking like CRAZY.  Just a few weeks ago Mitch could barely feel the biggest kicks he had to offer.  Now, he wakes me up in the middle of the night kicking and you can actually see my belly move. 

We were lucky enough to be able to make some time in our long weekend to drive out to BC to stay with Mitch's Dad and his wife for the weekend at Mara Lake, where Mitch spent his summers growing up.  I know what a special place it is to him, and I truly enjoyed every minute of our time there.  I think we both got a kick out of picturing our little guy running around in the water, fighting to make him pause a moment to put on sunscreen.

Watching Mitch wakeboard on our last day, I couldn't wait for the time we would watch our little guy stand up on water skis for the first time.  It will be a while until he's got mad skills like his Papa though!

 

... and Terry hopped on afterwards!

They weren't the only two who enjoyed the warm weather and water though! I myself enjoyed a quick dip, and discovered that baby bumps float!

It wasn't two seconds after I jumped in until Kali valiantly jumped off the boat to my rescue.  Didn't think it through too well though.  Dogs and swim ladders don't go so well together.

Man oh man does that dog like to swim.  If it had been up to her, we would have played fetch in the water all day long. 

If only she were as graceful jumping off the dock to get the ball, as she is pouncing through the water from the beach.  She tried it once, sunk two feet, and needed Mitch's assistance from then on.

One of the highlights from the weekend was the quad ride on the last day.  It was a gorgeous view at the top.

... but honestly, we were much more entertained by the view in the rear view mirror.

And I guess there is one more update on our lives! In the words of my good friend Harper "he liked it and put a ring on it".

I am seriously the most blessed girl in the entire world.
