It's getting hot...


Cheers to a very happy, tad-bit overcast Monday! I just thought that I would let everyone know that we survived another hot, pregnant weekend in Portland. Well, it wasn't really that hot, but right how, even 70 feels hot to me.

Pictured right is Henry Thackery making the best of his new elephant pool. He loves swimming and is now learning to "Dog Paddle" at our local aquatic center. He still prefers the hot-tub to any pool though. Smart boy to say the least.

Another big thing we have going on in our lives right now is our remodel. We have decided to completely gut our kitchen before Saylor's arrival. Fun times, let me tell you! I will make sure to post before and after photos if there is ever and "after." Stay tunned. Below is a photo of Henry staying busy with the shop vac while daddy works.

I guess that's all for now. We have our 30 week appointment on Monday and are looking forward to a good report from the doctor. Saylor is kicking, flopping and doing all the normal bb bump activities these days. We can't wait for her arrival!

"Love, Love" as Henry says.

Henry Thackery...

Henry Thackery, Two years , 2 weeks old!

The first chapter...



Hello to all of our family and friends!

I though it high-time to start a family blog so that we can keep you up-to-date without having to send mass e-mails. This way, if you are interested in keeping up to date with our lives, you can visit our site. Hopefully you will!

Let me just start by saying that we are just about 13 weeks from bringing baby Saylor Margaret-Evelyn Thackery into this world. Henry (who is now two-years-old on May 25th) is extremely excited and shows his enthusiasm by kissing my baby bump whenever possible. He is going to be an amazing big brother. He is kind, caring and most of all, very, very fun. Russ and I often just sit and talk about what an amazing little person he is. We are truly blessed.

I suppose this isn't much information, but I wanted to get something started for a blog. Please stay tuned and I promise to write more soon.

Best, Amy
