This is a pretty quiet week for the Porterfield house. Right now, we are just trying to enjoy the nice weather. James and I have been going on a walk every evening. He really enjoys pointing out the grass and the trees and calling them "ball". It has been great for me as well, because since we started walking, I have lost 2 lbs and a couple inches in some spots! Very nice and unexpected.

Next week will be pretty busy, I am going to the Police Concert on Monday in St. Louis. I am uber excited for this because- I love Sting and Sting in the 80's- can't get better than that! In St. Louis I am picking up Grandma Karen for a visit to K.C.
Then Wednesday is 4th of July, which should be an interesting day at my mother-in-laws. For those of you who know the situation- interesting is putting it lightly. The worst part is I probably should not be drinking that day because on Thursday, I am having surgery. This should not be a big deal, as it is outpatient, but they still have to put me out, which I hate. Oh well.

Have a good week everybody!

A few things






Well,

First of all, I am including in this blog pictures of our new hardwood floors. We love them so far, and I am pretty sure anything would look better. They were completed on Wednesday. Now we are looking for area rugs that will make me happy.

Also, we went swimming today and there is a picture of my little boy in his swim trunks and aqua shoes ready to go.

It is a boy

Well, Alex's brother's wife, Andi, finally pushed out a baby boy this evening. I now have a nephew!

His name is Brannon Christoper
He was 8 lbs. 15 oz.
20 1/2 inches.

Andi's water was broken at 8:00 this morning. She started the whole process was at 3cm and 90% effaced, so we did not think it would take long. At around 11:00 she got an epidrual. By 12:45 she was 8 cm. My next update was at 3:00 p.m., she was at 10 cm, but did not have an urge to push. Brannon was finally born at 6:15 p.m. The moral of the story is... epidural if you dare. Over 3 hours at 10 cm-- I'll pass :)

Good Morning

Well, we are waiting on pins and needles for Andi to have the baby. They broke her water about an hour ago.

In other news, I got a traffic ticket when I left work last night. No left hand turns from 4-6. Oh well, truth be told, I make that turn every single day, the fact that I just now got a ticket is a small miracle. The up side, is that I do not have to pay attorney's fees to take care of it :) Why else become an attorney if you can't fix your own traffic tickets?

James has a "splash day" at daycare today, so I might have a tired bubba at home tonight.

I will be in mediation for the rest of the day, but will post as soon as I know anything about Andi and the baby.

Jenna did it, so I will too.

Here is my new blog, this is mainly going to be so people can see the new and wonderful pictures of James that you are clamoring for me to send. I will try to be better.

Not much is going on in K.C. Currently, James is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his cousin. Jason and Andi are expecting, and Andi is going to be induced tomorrow. I personally am beside myself excited, because we don't know if it is a boy or girl or what names they have picked out. If you know me, you know that I am not a patient person for these types of things!

I love cupcakes
