sunshine in the park

We've definitely enjoyed the nearby park, Little Mulberry, but I had only been to one side of the park--the part with a huge playground and lots of paved walking trails perfect for strollers. The other side of the park is a bit more au natural and has a much larger lake with a fun population of ducks & geese. So, come to the park with us!

Mmm. . . third lunches!

Mom, you want some?

Piggie-tails are the best!

The explora! (She wanted to go offroading with daddy through the woods. Mommy declined & met them at the top of the hill via the gently sloping path).

Really, dad????

Ooh, momma, it was so 'siting to walk in the woods. We saw some leaves, and trees.

Not awesome, but captures a 5.5 month belly. I had my 27 week check-up yesterday & everything is going quite well. I gained 4 lbs over the last 4 weeks, and I definitely felt it! I'm well into all-maternity clothes, and have had to do some saavy shopping at consignment shops & supersales at OldNavy in order to beef up my winter/spring maternity wardrobe. I wish it were as easy to lose 4 lbs in a month as to gain it. I'm pretty sure it was the must have dessert every night mentality that contributed to my healthy weight gain! :-) This pic is in the middle of that 4 week period, so I am 2 lbs heavier as I type!
