39 weeks 5 days. In an effort to pass the time as we wait for baby we set off to discover less traveled paths on this side of the world. What we found was worth it all. Beautiful weather, beautiful day, and beautiful places as everything starts to come to life again. I did eventually find our camera but the fact it sat hidden in the basement for a few weeks...humidity took a little bit of a toll....not to mention it was already having massive issues. So, as an "I love you" surprise husband brought home an entirely new updated model of the old one we had. I'm in love. Most of these were taken with the new camera.....though some were taken with the phone too.
He wasn't a fan of being out of the backpack on unstable terrain.
39 weeks 5 days!! 2 mile hike backpacking a 27 lb baby through the hills didn't do much to get labor started. So....still here!
He loves his Evye.
Almost at the end of 4 miles of walking.....2 of which were hiked through hilly terrain....she started lagging behind. She's seriously in love with him and was more than happy to hitch a ride.
All throwing rocks at the same time. Not exactly sure what the point was but they had a ton of fun doing it.
I'm thinking there is no less than 10 lbs of baby in there. If this baby comes out weighing a mere 6 lbs we've got issues. So far my weight gain has only topped out at 25 lbs. Hopefully 10 of that is baby which would greatly help explain the larger than life status right now. And yes...I am most definitely, absolutely positive, 100% sure there is only one....despite the hundreds of people that keep asking. One baby...with LOTS of swimming room.
Playing around with what all it can do.
Neither was he a fan of having sand dumped on him.

Love seeing all the kids. I kept counting them. :) Back in the days when I did daycare I would count all my little ones when we went for walks & such. It was the only way I could keep track. Love your family! And I have resisted the "are you Sure there is only one?" question because... I am sure you are quite tired of it AND, like much of life, time will tell. :)
Love, love, love all the pics :) What a beautiful family!!! Looks like you found a fun place to spend the day....can't wait to hear baby# 11 is here!!! Take care :)
Nikki you guys look like you had a lot of fun!!!! Hope allis well!!
SO...what kind of camera is it? Pictures are great.
Karen...I continually count them too. It's funny when I see them all in a pic. It never really seems like that many to me until they completely fill up a sandbox...and it's just our crew! When I saw the sandbox pic and counted them it was even a little funnier to figure out not all of them were in the pic. :)It's funny, too, the systems Brad and I have come up with. He does it completely differently than I do...but we both count. I've found that I group them as 3 oldest, 4 little boys, Ivye, and then babies. Brad just goes from 1-10 over and again.
Marie...I wondered if you were still reading. I think we're finally getting settled here! It was a bit of a rough start. With Brad working now we have the ability to see some amazing places. Getting ready to head to the beach again sometime in April. Right now we're loving all the beautiful places to hike...and spring is absolutely amazing here!! We live too close not to meet. We really should!
Jeanette..I really need to PM you. I see you on and then feel so bad I never got the bows done. I've been working on a post for two weeks that never seems to get finished. So much has taken place...beyond what all's been written on here. Crazy time in life that I think is finally starting to settle...and with it comes such an overwhelming, amazing peace....a much needed one. :) I didn't forget about you...or the bows....but I was seriously feeling a bit drowned by life. I got about half way done with them...but that's as far as I got. I'll see if I can make you some free ones for the 4th of July to make up for it!
Camera is Kodak Easyshare DSLR. We looked and I drooled over Canons for awhile but in the end I couldn't justify the expense with my limited range of knowledge about photography...despite the aspirations I possess. The Easyshare is just the right amount of camera for what I know at the current moment. It allows you to point and shoot in a myriad of different settings. Printed picture quality is amazing and can be blown up to high quality professional looking 8x10's and 11x14's. It also has a manual setting for the ISO, aperture and so forth in order to learn and play around. We were already familiar with Kodak, how the camera and software work, so between the great price, the options of the camera itself, great quality of pics and the familiarity with it..we just stuck with it.
