beach

we're home from our first ever fedeli family beach camping trip
despite the extreme heat and some sickness, 
i would say it was a success
i sadly took only a few pictures
the boys had such a blast being with their cousins, 
and spent almost all of their time in the water
xan especially loved every part of our "camp out"

he is made for the beach
one more than one occasion he tracked down a surfer to get some tips
or knowing him, he was sharing his own
this kid will talk to anyone
he wore the strap of his boogie board on his ankle 
and carried his board on his head to look the part



 brooke was our guest for few days--
easy going girl that she is, she fit right in

boys, boys, boys...

karl brought behr and jack for the day--
talk about a fireplug this one, but so adorable

a stash of seagull bombs being constructed

 most of the crew (plus a stray on the end)

my only proof that luca was indeed with us
poor guy was sick a good bit of the week, 
and spent lots of time on my lap ("resting wif mom")

i had to laugh at my doctors appointment this morning when they told me
that I should stay inside as much as possible in this heat--
glad they told me that AFTER i spent the last week in the heat 24/7 :)
i didn't realize until we got home just how exhausted i was, 
and spent most of yesterday in bed trying to replenish my body

will this become a tradition?
time will tell...we have our reservation for next year
we'll see if we're man and woman enough to brave the elements with 4 kiddos

my thoughts exactly--

david to me:

if the baby is still so tiny,
why is your belly so big?

{growing}

well, I suppose it's time to go public
considering the spare tire that has attached itself to my midsection grows daily
and i've been in several conversations where eyes wander from my face,
to my midsection

 yes, #4 is on HIS (for the sake of expectations) way!!

(his first pic, taken a few weeks ago)

i am just about to enter my second trimester
and every day so far has felt like a small triumph

it is a true miracle that i have not thrown up one time
--even though i have felt plenty crummy--
it is a HUGE blessing that i do not take lightly
(and possibly has contributed to my faster than normal spare tire growth)

we are all very excited for this new life that is being formed
i can't wait till i'm feeling better, and can begin to create a space
for the newest fedeli

thank you, LORD

sweet summertime cont.

it's been a quiet week at our house,
-just what we all needed-
the boys have been busy building forts, inventing magic tricks, creating recipes,
and watching Wimbledon with me
luca has been happy to have us all accessible and undistracted

last night i came up from the basement to see this...
david is spending the night with the cousins tonight, and xan is spending the night in our room

excitement levels are through the roof

not to be left out--he's ready for the trek down the hall to our bedroom
