summer storms
86 degrees F74% humidityheat index of 96 degrees F Scattered showers…and isolated thunderstorms…will continue to develop and move to the northeast across the listening area through 4 PM. Along with lightning strikes…expect occasional wind gusts to around 45 miles per hour…and brief rainfall of up to one quarter of an inch…with isolated occurrences of three quarters of an inch.

8-10 pounds away from pre=pregnancy weight! which is an awesome thing, considering that I gained 60+ pounds. I’m not sure how it happened, but one day before I was pregnant I was slender with toned muscles, and then I woke up a few weeks later pregnant with those toned muscles turning into something very un-toned and not so slender.
look what I can do!
I can finally sit up on my own (at least, I almost can) just like Daddy and Mommy. I’m so proud of myself! It’s really fun to be able to touch and grab the toys on the toy bar. :)

My husband’s brother got married on the 1st, and my sewing machine and personal…
great grandpa Throckmorton and Emma
oh yes, they had fun together (after she warmed up to him)
home again
Our morning glory plant bloomed for the first time just before we left for Indianapolis, and I snapped a picture as John was loading up the car. It was so lovely and happy looking. John, Emma and I are now home and getting back into the swing of everyday life. It won’t slow down very much (if at all), but will continue to hurtle along at a swift pace. I’ll try to keep you posted as things happen.This week we…
