May Showers

As the saying goes: April showers bring May flowers but it seems as though we have had a lot more rain in May. The rain has pretty much halted Eric's efforts on our back porch, but slowly and surely it will get done. Even with all the rain, May has been busy for us here at the Meyer house.

*I let Eric cut Walt's hair and it turned out cute. It does make him look older than his 22 months but so cute none the less.

*I helped give a baby shower for my best friend Dawn. We cannot wait to meet sweet Baby Evie in late June!

*We traveled to Fair Hope over Mother's Day weekend and spent time with Uncle Scot and Aunt Susanna. They are in the process of buying a house. We even got in some beach time down at Orange Beach and the weather was perfect. Walt loved the ocean and didn't mind the sand or the water. He would scream at the crashing waves: "no no no" and then just giggle like crazy! Eric and I got some great sunburns and they are finally peeling and going away.

*I took Walt to Griffin, Georgia to help cousin Emma Grace celebrate her 4th birthday! Emma Grace is so smart and Walt loves playing with her. She had a Care Bears themed party at a local park and Walt discovered the joys of Gummy Bears here. I guess my efforts of shielding him from sugar are getting harder as he gets older!

*We have worked a lot as well. The hospital has been very busy. Our patients seem sicker and they seem to stay longer. I guess that is job security.

*Eric took Walt up to the lake for the weekend while I worked. Walt loved playing with cousins Callie (5) and Ryan Charles (4). And of course hanging out with Gin, Papa, Aunt Cathy and Uncle Jon!

*Today, Memorial Day Walt and I are hanging out at the house hoping for some sunshine, maybe some BBQ too. Eric is working today. We thank all of the service men and women for protecting our country everyday!

I guess the greatest thing about May showers is that we are expecting an addition to our family in January 2010.

We are so blessed by this little miracle. I have been slightly nauseated and extremely tired. I guess all to be expected. We look forward to what lies ahead of us in 2009 and getting to prepare Walt to be a Big Brother. He is going to be such a big helper!

Blessings to all!
