Vacation, Updates, and Knitting Socks,

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I forgot to update on another trip we took in August to Grand Bend with Liam's parents. There was a nice beach there and we stayed at a cute cottage. It was a nice time away one weekend. I really liked our cottage trips this Summer with family a chance to be outside more and enjoy the weather. 

I have been knitting the first sock using the perfect pair pattern that the yarn Loops & Threads came with on the label. It is reminding me how much I love knitting socks. Yesterday I spent a lot of my afternoon working on knitting and turning the heel, and now I am knitting the foot. I am looking forward to being done the first sock, and then working on the second sock. Then I will turn my focus to knitting cute baby knits. I am due in early December, so I better get knitting! 

Last weekend we celebrated my sister's birthday and went to a nice restaurant by the lake. It was a beautiful day outside and nice to go out to a restaurant for dinner and sit on the patio. We went for a walk with my family after dinner and enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake. 

I am 26 weeks pregnant as I am posting this, and 27 weeks tomorrow. Time is flying by! I am planning the nursery now, adding things to our baby registry, and thinking of baby shower plans. Baby is doing well, we are having a boy! He is moving a lot lately and kicking lots.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! It has been a great Summer with family cottage trips and moments spending time outside. I am so ready for fall now though. I love the chillier mornings and the holidays to look forward to. This fall also means getting prepared for baby and lots of fun things to start doing and planning for. 

Have a great weekend!

Cottage trip

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. Last week I took a trip up north with my family to a cottage. My sister found the place on vrbo. It was such a cozy rustic cottage and it was so fun being there spending quality time with my parents, sister, brother in law, nephew, and my husband Liam. We stayed for a few nights and had pretty good weather except for Wednesday when it rained in the afternoon and evening. 

There was a canoe provided at the cottage and my sister rented a couple of life jackets. Most of us took turns out in the canoe during our trip. I went out canoeing with my dad once and it was so peaceful being out on the water.

My dad made fires a couple of the nights and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. It was fun listening to music and chatting by the fire.

I did some reading of book lovers but not too much. The afternoon I was reading on the dock I felt the sun's warmth on my legs and the sound of the water from the lake. It was so perfect.

On Thursday night the lighting was so beautiful on the trees.

On our last day at the cottage I did a bit of knitting by the lake. This was so peaceful and relaxing. It was a sunny perfect morning and I didn't want to leave. 

This week I took a bump picture at 23 weeks. I am feeling bigger now and pretty good. I am feeling baby moving around a lot and they are pretty active in there. 

Joining along with As Kat Knits for Unraveled Wednesday.

Thank you for visiting my blog today as I shared a special trip to me. I can't wait now for our next family trip to the cottage maybe with a baby next time which is surreal. 

Have a great day!
