17 Weeks

We are 17 weeks as of Sunday!  Little babe is the size of an onion!  About 5 inches long!  Hard to believe, but amazing at the same time.  He/she is moving a lot, I can hardly imagine what it will feel like when he/she is bigger and making bigger movements.  I love every little poke and nudge I get.  I even watched as little babe moved from left to right!
Also on Sunday was Andy's birthday!  We celebrated by heading out east toward the Blue Mountains right after church (we left Buckley in the car during church in which he set off the car alarm for who knows how long...).  We drove through just absolutely gorgeous landscapes, it was seriously beautiful.  When we finally got to the trail we had planned out we got dressed into our hiking clothes, only for me to find out that I left my hiking shoes at home.  Not wanting to waste the 2 hour trip out there I hiked in socks (which I remembered) and in flip flops.  Andy said I looked like a samurai because I was wearing all black...  Despite that it was beautiful, short hike and worth it.
We found a bbq place here, definitely nothing like the ones in Saint Louis, but could possibly fulfill a craving if we had one.  We finished the night with Andy's favorite, Rhubarb Pie.
Lots of celebrating this week, we celebrated 3 years last night.  To celebrate we went to Monterosso's Italian Restaurant here in Richland.  It was an intimate little setting in a train car!  It was really cute and very good food.
