We had a super busy weekend--both good and bad. Unfortunately it started on a very sour note (literally) as we discovered a horrendous smell coming from our master bathroom. We believe that an animal has died somewhere however it is now Monday as I write this and we still have not discovered the source of the smell. We had a full weekend planned and decided that the best way to deal with this really big problem was not to deal with it at all and to not let it ruin our weekend.
So Saturday morning we headed up to Fairmount to spend the day with Grandad and Kaki. Unfortunately, the UGA game was pitiful and definitely made the bad list for the weekend. However getting to spend the day with Grandad and Kaki before they headed up to Nashville on Sunday was special. Nicholas just Loves going up to their house and playing with all of their special toys. It was exciting to see the new sunroom and porch that they added to their home and soon the pool will be done too (weather permitting of course)!
On Sunday after church, our Sunday School class traveled up to Dawsonville to Uncle Shuck's corn maze for some Fall fun! Nicholas is very excited about pumpkins this season so he loved seeing the Pumpkin Patch. He enjoyed the hay ride and kiddie maze but was a little frightened by the sound that the corn cannon made everytime it went off. Actually, he seemed to be most interested in eating while there and we spent more time filling his endless stomach. All the festivities wore him out quicker than we expected and we actually never made it into the corn maze. Honestly, this was ok with Graham and I as we were quite tired ourselves too. Nicholas fell asleep quickly on the drive home. I've included lots of pics of our time there--I thought they were cute. The group picture of our class is hysterical. There's no way you can take a pic with all those kids and it not be chaos! And then I had to include some belly pics too (even one with me eating a pickle--furthering pregnancy stereotypes!)
We came home to tackle the house with full force. Graham got to work attacking the smell with everything he had. After cutting a hole in the wall, emptying all of the drains, inspecting the crawl space and the attic....he was even more baffled than before. Meanwhile, I got to work setting up Nick's new room. Graham painted this week so I cleaned up and pulled everything together in the room. It looks so cute and Nicholas has loved playing in there the past two days. We hope to move him in by this weekend! (I'll include a picture once the room is complete).
And finally an update on the baby and pregnancy. I'm very happy to report that I have now entered into the third trimester and am 7 months pregnant now! And I am even happier to report that my morning sickness is finally behind me!! It is so nice to start my days puke free!! We are so anxious for Nolan James to join our family! Nicholas has enjoyed feeling baby Nolan kicking in Mommy's belly and talks to him everyday. Today when I was making mac & cheese for us for lunch, Nicholas said "Come out, come out Baby Nolan and eat some mac & cheese!" So cute!
