Another Kelley Home Video

Well, we've made it through another week! We took the last few days to relax, watch movies, and spruce up Heath's classroom. (And...make another home video!)

Even though it was humid, Heath and I braved the outside to finish off what was left of our verbena plants (hint: don't ever plant these - they're invasive!). Of course, I wore out before we came close to finishing...but our neighbor came over with a spade and he and Heath finished digging out the last of the massive roots. (Pictures to come)

Squash Pie: I've never cooked with any type of squash, so when Heath's mom gave us some garden squash - I was at a loss. So! I consulted with Betty Crocker and found out that you can make squash PIE! I kid you not...it was delicious! Heath kept sneaking into the fridge to eat off little bites here and there. 

Anyway! Here is our latest home video of the house. We've actually done a lot more, but the video already has upwards of 80+ photos in it...so we resisted adding more. 

P.S. Enjoy the pictures of Sam at the end of the video. ;) 

It's crazy that Heath will be back in the classroom this Wednesday and then the following week -coaching! We're headed to the Iowa vs. Iowa State game next month...we are so ready for football season. Go Central Sabers! (Actually, it's me who can hardly wait for jean/sweatshirt weather!)

We love and miss everyone!

It's a GIRL!

Hi Friends and Family...

In case this hasn't made it to you through the grapevine already (which I have already discovered is still alive and well), we are having a little baby girl this December!

Although the ultrasound tech couldn't give us a "100%" educated guess as to the gender, she said she has only been fooled once by a boy. Our little gal moved around like crazy and made it hard to get measurements...but refused to unlock her little knees. (GOOD GIRL!) Lol.

We had so much fun watching the ultrasound and Heath is thoroughly convinced there really IS something in my gradually growing belly. I've officially gained my first 5 lbs since the first (sick) trimester and Heath is assuring me I can now "pack on the pounds"...whatever that's supposed to mean?

Sorry this post is yet again long in coming, but our laptop died on us and we're scrambling to get that up and running again. Funny how lost you feel without one?

Heath is loving his football coaching job. The jr. coaches are great and this week he's working with 3rd-7th graders in a camp. Go COACH KELLEY!

Anyway, the house is now fast becoming a home. We had some nice little surprises when we tore up the nasty carpet in the hallway. We don't have to recarpet at all, the wood is in fabulous shape and our hallway is now sporting a fresh coat of paint...compliments of mom (aka Rhonda) and Aunt Chris.
Better go...my 1/2 hour is up at the library. Talk to you all later!
