So Much News

I don't even know where to begin because there is so much to share.  I guess I'll start with the little man and his approaching arrival.  We have about 6 weeks (maybe more, hopefully a little less) to go before Olivia is a big sister.  At this point, she loves to talk about him and touch my growing belly, but we'll see what happens when he's actually here.  She really does seem to love babies and she's been getting a lot of experience around them.  My sister had a girl, Sage Miriam Benjamin, last Monday and they are both doing great!  I'm so excited for Olivia to have another girl cousin.  Olivia loves Sage and talks about her all the time.  We've been to Ricki's house a few times in the last week and Olivia gets so excited to see the baby and Jonah too!  Olivia is a lucky girl to have 4 cousins that are all pretty close in age!

The other really big news is that we will be home owners very soon!  We bought a house in Lynnfield and are closing at the end of July.  Erik and I couldn't be more ready to be out of our apartment and in our own home.  We will be moving in mid August, so we'll be just a little busy this summer between moving and having a newborn.  We're going to try to get most of the packing and furniture buying done these next few weeks, so we don't have too much to do once the baby is here.

Olivia started swim lessons this month at Boston Sports Club.  At first she wasn't sure about being in the pool, but now she loves it or that's what Erik tells me.  Erik takes her to class on Sunday mornings and I get a morning to myself!  It's been great to be able to relax, go to the gym, and just have some alone time.

Here are some pictures from the last month or two.
