Rolling Thunder

Rolling Thunder has nothing to do with with an occurrence in the weather. Rolling Thunder is made up of thousands of Veterans that ride their motorcycles (a Harley hopefully) in a Parade from the Pentagon to the Capitol Building. Rolling Thunder is just a small part of a 3 week long statement these Veterans are trying to send to Americans and Our Government that we need to find the Servicemen that have been left behind in Vietnam. The Veterans start in California and ride to D.C. in what is known as Run for the Wall.

My Father and Mother at the start of Rolling Thunder in 1995. My Father was a Vietnam Veteran. He started going on the Run for the Wall in 1994 and went for 3 years.

This is a picture of the first bikes to go by at this years Rolling Thunder.

This man rides in the parade each year to show how the prisoners of war may live.

When Dads away...

Emma and Mommy will play. Kyle traveled to Ottawa, Canada on a business trip about 4 weeks ago While he was gone I went with my friend Megan to to her moms house. We stayed just over night but had a great time. Emma and Seth had a blast running and playing. Emma favorite part was a green flute and it was very cute but we are not getting one at least not until I am done with this pregnancy.

She hears something

First Hair Cut

Emma was not happy to have her hair cut, but the candy at the end made the whole experience worthwhile.

Potty Chart

Emma has done really well with potty training. She almost always tells me she has to go potty and can hold it when we are trying to make it to a bathroom . The best part is when she says

"Bye Bye Pee Pee, See you later".

When she first started on the potty we used the chart. We have filled the chart now and I think we have moved past our potty chart.

My 4 week Check Up

I had my 4 week check up and Emma came with. She always lays on the table with me because I am afraid of what her curious hands will find. Emma loves to listen to Lu Lu's heart but never wants the doctor to touch her stomach with the Doppler. Oh, by the way, the Placenta has not moved and the doctor is not feeling very hopeful for the possibility of a vaginal birth. Will update on that matter later.

100 Days tell Lu Lu's Arrival

Our rain day activity a few weeks ago was to make a count down chain for baby Lu Lu's arrival. We glued, cut and colored 100 pink chains. We are now down to 81 days till Lu Lu's birth if I deliver in August. Take off about 21 days if I have to deliver by c-section. Each day we get a little closer.

Our House

About a month ago Kyle's boss did some downsizing at the company which gave Kyle more responsibilityand work. As an incentive we were given an opportunity to move into a house purchansed by the company. We were given the amount we could spend and an area in which to buy. This is the house we have decided on and if all goes well we will be closing on Friday May 30th.
