• still waiting for baby!
• all moved into the house!
  
• loving the pool during our fresno "heat wave" (when i'm in the pool i don't feel pregnant)!
• jen left today after being an amazing help (unpacking, making me rest, making food, helping me nest, driving me around, helping me tie my shoes...all those things sisters do so well)!
• thanks for all of your emails, comments, notes and prayers for the baby...we feel very supported and we feel your prayers...we are so grateful!
  

...goood distractions while waiting for baby!

little baby panfilio has not arrived yet...but we are so excited for that day to come. we cannot wait to find out if it is a boy or girl (Luke Andrew or Paige Elizabeth) and to see what it looks like. we also get the keys to our new home this week- so we are thrilled to be buying a house to bring our little baby home to! this is just after we signed our papers for the house!

we had to celebrate with food...so chili's became our "last supper" for a while now that we will have a mortgage & a baby! it was a great way to celebrate and enjoy a meal together!

last week we had several visitors...the trempers came for a few days. aaron & matt got some good fishing time in while mishawn and i had fun with elsie & carson. it was nice being auntie LaLa again!
it is really hard to believe that carson is already 6 months old! she is so cute!beau & alicia were in town and had dinner with us friday night...it was fun to talk babies (they are due with their second kid November 17th)! also, aunt FiFi came for the weekend to help us pack & to hang out. jen is always around to help when i need her- what a great sister she is. and of course izzy provided some great entertainment as well...she loves barking at aaron and playing with him. they are welcome anytime! my rash (called PUPP) has almost completely gone away...here are just a few of the items i purchased or used to try and deal with it this past month. i don't wish this thing upon my worst enemy. mishawn says she is going to start calling me "1%" because that is the percentage of women who get this crazy rash in pregnancy (and of course i had to get it)!

we'll keep you posted on the baby front!

...fresno love!

last week my new friends in fresno threw me a baby shower. the theme was centered around pampering me...which was wonderful. the best part was that they prayed for me, aaron and the baby and encouraged me that they would continue to do so. it was so special and made me feel really loved. we are so grateful for the friends we have made here through church and the fire department...God has answered our prayers and we know that this is just the beginning. the shower came at a great time because i was in the midst of a 3 week battle with a pregnancy rash (called PUPP) that was making me miserable. i needed some TLC. the rash seems to be clearing up and my doctor has cleared me of anything serious (i got to go to the hospital routinely for a few weeks to make sure the baby was okay...fun stuff). now we're just ready to meet the baby! only three more weeks- but i'm praying for an early arrival!

...babies, bellies & a house!

life is good and we are surviving the 100 degree weather...although i am not loving it. we grow more excited for the arrival of our little baby everyday (and mommy grows more excited to not be pregnant anymore)!



we have been busy with parties, house hunting and a trip to shaver lake with some of our new friends (not to mention celebrating aaron's birthday on july 12th). we also replaced our digital camera and can now get back in the habit of taking pictures. here are some shots of the house we are buying.




our friends laura & sean jackson just had their first baby...little emma. she is a strong little girl who is doing well after heart surgery...thank you Lord for taking care of their little one...your miracles never cease! we cannot wait to meet her the next time we are up in seattle!
