3 Years Without Sullivan

This picture was taken a few days before Sullivan was killed. I had been out to the garden and picked this veggie. Sullivan wanted some popcorn and Spencer wanted to swim, so while Spence swam, Sullivan sat inside and ate a whole bowl of popcorn while he watched "School House Rock". When Spencer and I came in, Sullivan said he had a belly ache (since eating the whole bowl of popcorn) so Spencer put his arm around him and said, "Come on Suvy, I will walk you to your bed."

Some things I still remember like it were yesterday. We are so blessed to have Sullivan as our first born son. He brought something to our lives that no one can ever take away. We are slowly coming to grips with him not being here, but as with most loss... it takes time. We love him so much and are so blessed he chose us to be his parents!

WE LOVE & MISS YOU!

The Count Down is ON!!!

We are counting down to BABY! Just a matter of a day or so! We are so anxious to meet our new son and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him! He is still just as active as ever. He moves all day and all night. I could almost swear he is a 10 pounder, but I know better. My belly has grown so much that I don't know how the baby hasn't busted out :)! If you have seem me, you know what I mean. Speaking of, Tim and I had a date night last night at Inakaya, then a little baby shopping and a quick stop for a milk shake at Wendy's. Well, when we looked in the take out window, the people were talking, then next thing we know, all of the employees were at the window looking at my HUGE belly. I guess it's not very often they see a State Fair Exhibit of the "Huge Pregger" in their drive thru.

Anywho, I will be at Palmetto Baptist Medical Center on Tuesday, June 10 at 7am for a 9am C-section. Please keep us in your prayers! The hardest part of having this baby is leaving Spencer and Sawyer for 2 nights. Sawyer has only stayed away from home for 1 night in his entire life. I know he will be in good hands with my parents, but I just hate the thought of not being with them for 2 nights!

Luau

We attended the Luau Lunch at WES for first grade. As you can see, they ate lunch and played games. This was a couple of weeks ago, and it was just beginning to get hot, so after Spencer played 2 games with his class, he was ready to go... no argument from me! I had forgotten to put sunscreen on Sawyer, so his arms were getting red, and I was sweating like crazy... so we called it a day. Spencer enjoyed himself and actually ate his lunch!

Check out "Romeo" chillin' with the honey's at Elizabeth's birthday party. It was actually a break for me having all of them here, there was always someone to chase Sawyer around. heehee!!

Author's Tea

Spencer's class had an Author's Tea, where each student was the author and illustrator of their own book. As you may have guessed, Spencer's book was about dogs. He did a great job! He also was given a gift card from the PTO for PERFECT ATTENDANCE! We are so proud of him for completing first grade with perfect attendance and on the honor roll ALL YEAR! GO SPENCE!!!

Primary Activity

The primary had their annual summer activity yesterday, where the kids all made stepping stones. Sawyer, as usual, sat back and enjoyed his stroller. :)
