Summer highlights


Summer has flown by - and I'm ready for fall! Some of the highlights include our family vacation to Grayton Beach, the U2 concert (another item checked off the life list - I am obsessed with Bono), and Mark training for and completing the Louisville ironman! He did really well - I was so proud of him. A great majority of my summer, however, was spent on the couch, or um, getting sick, thanks to the little peanut inside of me who will make his/her debut in February! We are super excited and now that I am over the nausea, sickness, general sickness of the first trimester, I'm starting to enjoy this whole pregnancy thing! Of course, there are lots of questions to be answered about work, childcare, insurance, money, and all that not so fun stuff, but I'm trying to take one day at a time and not be so worried about it all. Mark is better at that than I am, but I swear I'm trying! Here are some pictures of our summer and of course, a slightly blurry ultrasound pic of baby Miller!

Drew loved the water - and started learning to walk on the beach!


Getting ready to hit up The Red Bar for date night!

Waiting for U2 to come on - been waiting for this concert for months!

The stage also known as "the claw" - sort of looked like a spaceship...

Just after finishing an IRONMAN at 11:07!

Fellow ironman supporters - great friends!

Baby Miller at 12 weeks!

Puppy!


Anyone that knows me knows that I have been wanting a dog forever and Mark and I were waiting for the right time to get one. (You know, fenced in yard, time on our hands, work schedules slowing down, etc.) But clearly that was never going to happen, so when our neighbor came by asking us if we were interested in fostering/adopting a little German Shepard puppy, we caved. I have been wanting a German Shepard for as long as I can remember. I can't imagine why anyone would desert this little guy - because he is as cute as can be. We named him Ryman after the Ryman Auditorium, where we have seen all of our favorite shows.

Anyway - it's been so fun having him. Every night we take him for a long walk through the neighborhood and into the golf course so he can run and play. Of course he does wake us up at 5:30 every morning, and there have been a couple of things destroyed (6 different towels shredded to nothingness), and every so often I have to rush home on my lunch break at work to let him out, but overall, we just love having him around. Here are some pictures of the cuteness. Um...I think we are turning into those people!...

sweetest face!

Day 1 - Grandma Miller sent a new toy!

Day 2 - Decapitation...
