week 33: go chiefs go!

33 weeks!  33 weeks!  my nora belly is getting huge!  bigger every day, right blakey ;)

this weekend, dave & beau came to visit us!  we had an incredible dinner at gram & dun with amazing asian pig wings, delicious fried catfish with greens & mashed potatoes, & the most ridiculously large tomahawk ribeye.  the evening was filled with wonderful beverages {even a mocktail for me!}, lots of football talk, & fantastic company.

on sunday, we went to nora belle & my first NFL game & blake's first chiefs game.  it was absolutely one of the best days. we all got to go on the field for pregame & watch the players come out & warm up.  we took tons of photos, acted like we were under the review booth hood, & marveled at the size of these guys.  it was an experience we will never forget.  the boys geeked out the entire time & stood there with a huge smile on my face.  an amazing sunday!

 {chiefs kingdom!}

 {someone is going to score a touchdown right here.}

a wonderful, wonderful weekend.  happy 33 weeks to us!

love love,

week 31: grandpa & samma came to visit!

norabelle's grandpa & samma came to kc to visit us this weekend!  & oh boy were we productive.  they brought up my grandmother's china cabinet that is going to {eventually} be painted & displayed in our dining room.  the fellas built a 12' by 5' raised garden in our backyard.  nora belle's nursery is almost finished!  that, my friends, you will have to wait to see.  & with all of that doing, we had time to eat at a couple of kansas city staples - oklahoma joe's & stroud's fried chicken!  a most lovely weekend indeed.

{a very proud grandpa}

{dad & tank even bonded}

{by the way, there is now a baby swing in our living room.}

{whoa.}

happy 31 weeks!

love love,
