Nastics! (aka gymnastics)

Bubble Time!


She looks so serious here but she really did have fun in the bouncy house!



Doing her stretches








If you look closely you'll see that Isabelle is taking her knee up to her mouth to kiss her knee. Her teacher tells them to kiss thier knee in an attempt to get them to stretch all the way down, but Isabelle cheats!



The rings are Izzy's favorite!



Izzy and her friend Annorah











Ta-Da!



Just finished doing a forward (or sideways!) roll



You should see her running across this trampoline, she gallops on her toes, we call her twinkle toes!



Izzy started gymnastics a couple months ago and she loves it. I hear the phrase "Izzy go nastics?" several times throughout the week. It's a really cute program. Since they are so young, the mothers join them and we start out by letting them have free play on the equipment. Next, they have to sit down on a "dot" and then they get a stamp on their foot. Then they are led by their teacher Miss Kim with their stretches and then a song that they dance along with. Usually after that they learn a skill and they each have to do it for their teacher to get a stamp on the other foot. Before they leave they get to do the bubble song where they chase after bubbles while the song is playing. Lastly, they all get on their bellies and do the bye bye song and the teacher goes around and says bye bye to all the kids by name. This specific day when these pics were taken was sort of a free day where instead of doing a skill she blew up a bouncy house for them to play on. Isabelle has a lot of fun with gymnastics and we'll continue it as long as she likes it!

20 weeks!!!


I have definitely grown in the last few weeks!! I'm only halfway and I feel like a moose:( It's ok, it's for a good reason!







Halfway there! The last couple of weeks I've been feeling great. My pleurisy healed up and I have more energy. I'm starting to feel the weight at work, by the end of the day my back, legs and feet are sore. Otherwise, everything is going well. Today we had our anatomy ultrasound. We prayed for everything to be normal and our prayers were answered. The baby looked great and all of his organs and measurements were perfect. The baby was cooperative and we were able to see some really great shots of him. We are so thankful to the Lord for our healthy baby boy.
