knock knock. whos there? 80 dollars broseph. say what!

it is true. we dominated at the gardener's market this past saturday. too bad none of y'alls was there to witness this momentous occasion and utter destruction of all other vendor competition. that's right other-crazy-card-lady - little melany and her loyal sidekick paul made 80 sweet sweet dollars selling scrumptious cards. now we can start a trust fund for baby larsen as she is the heir to our booth fortune.

in non-booth related news, i only have 3 weeks of work left. BAM!

33 weeks!

the end is near! i'm definitely feeling that third trimester itch where it's like "ok, it was fun at first but this baby can get outta me anytime she wants now." she's been so funny lately - i feel like she has her own little personality already, like her kicks (which are getting less cute and more ow) could quite possibly be morse code. like she's probably saying "i'm feeling squished" or "stop eating thai food so much, mom."
the first picture of max and his cousin! wow, that belly is kinda scary up close. :)
uncle paul and max. you don't know how excited i am to have pictures like these of paul holding our own baby!

baby max is here!

my sister had her first baby on july 2nd so we spent our 4th of july in the hospital hanging with my sister and baby max. she had a really hard labor that ended in an emergency c-section but both her and max are doing great. here are some pix of my new nephew!
if you can't tell, i am sooo excited!
3 generations: lana, max, grandma balmforth and me.
cute close-up of the little guy. look at all that hair!

it was such a fun and happy weekend. it was a little scary at first because max wasn't breathing for a minute after they finished the c-section but they performed CPR and he was just fine. it made me really aware of the blessing of modern medicine and i'm so relieved and grateful that everything turned out okay. i am super excited for our little girl to meet her cousin - only 9 more weeks!

p.s. i did my second fair this past saturday and made 50 bucks! all in all, this was a good weekend. :)
