While waiting for this baby to join this world I took some pictures of our "grounds". Hope you enjoy them.

Samantha preparing for her role as "Big Sister"

I decided to put Sam's "big sister" t-shirt on in hopes that it would get things started for me. Here's a shot of her practicing calling her mommy's friends and family to tell them the news. Unfortunately, there is no news yet.

The Shed

While I was in Greenville getting ready for the house closing Joseph was back in Asheville erecting a shed to store our lawn and garden tools. Joseph hired a guy to build a structure to support the shed and then hired the guy to help him erect the shed. It's finally done. Here they are working together.

One house "homeowners"

A winter storm in Greenville a few years ago

Joseph and i closed on the sale of our house in Greenville today so we are very proud owners of just one home!! I am relieved to have all the house stuff done in Greenville, but am sad to leave Greenville behind. I have made great friends there and I hate to leave them all. I absolutely love my new friends in Asheville. They are great and i know our friendships will only get greater, but it's hard to leave my Greenville friends. I feel like I'm "officially" leaving them and that has me feeling sad.

I've been informed that the new owners of our house are our age and have two young boys. The boys are excited about the horse farm at the end of the road. The boys will be a great addition to the large group of girls who play in the neighborhood. I think our house and neighborhood are perfect for that family. I am happy for them, but do feel a little bitter sweet.

Happy Birthday Joseph

37 weeks prego

Today was Joseph's birthday. We took a trip to Graveyard Fields, in Pisgah National Forest. I had the pleasure of driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway for several miles.... Sam did a great job on her 2nd official hike. She managed to walk up several, several steps as we departed from one of the waterfalls. The blueberries were not yet ready for picking. Hopefully we can get back there in August to pick some of Samantha's favorite fruit. Happy 39th b-day Joseph!!!
