Happy Memorial Day!

Hi everyone, and happy Memorial Day! Here is a picture of the flag that we put up today to commemorate the holiday (and enjoy all summer long!)

Last weekend we took a trip to Kennebunkport, Maine. We decided at the last minute that it would be relaxing to get away and have a quiet weekend to celebrate our anniversary (and have a last vacation before Jack arrives!) We stayed here, at the Colony Hotel. It was beautiful - right on the water, and our room had ocean views! Unfortunately we had two things working against us: one, the weather was pretty terrible (raining / cloudy and around 55 degrees the whole time), and two, I forgot to charge the camera battery before we left so we only got a few pictures. Here is our room, since that's about the only photo we took!

We did a lot of walking around Kennebunk and Kennebunkport (in case you didn't know, the Bushes have a "compound" in Kennebunkport but we unfortunately did not find it.) We had dinner at the hotel, in a beautiful sun room overlooking the water, and spent some time at the bar watching the Preakness race. It was a very relaxing weekend!

As far as Memorial Day goes, we have been very busy over our holiday weekend. (Well, Justin has. I mostly sat around in the sun reading, but that's what a vacation is for, right?!) Here are some pictures of the beautiful landscaping that Justin has been working on:

He dug up a lot of the overgrown plants by our front door and planted some rose bushes (pictured) on one side, and some yummy-smelling lilac and lavendar on the other. He also spent much of the day making a "rock garden" in the backyard, and planting some lilac and vinca around the rocks:

He also found that we have a LARGE amount of poison ivy in our yard! Poor thing; he has been scratching like crazy all weekend. This is poison ivy (pictured in our side yard) and this is Justin's legs post-poison ivy fight!! (He does have calamine lotion on, but they still look terrible!)

Lesson of the weekend: poison ivy=OUCH!!!!

Finally, here are some recent shots of me at 30 weeks. We went on a little bike ride around the Reservoir in our neighborhood, so I hopped off the bike next to a creek so Justin could take my picture. Say hi to Jack! He has been very active lately. I also was lazing around the yard while Justin was working on Sunday, which is when we snapped the second picture. I like it better since it's further away and I don't look quite as HUGE! (Yes that is Justin watering his flowers by the mailbox in the background. I tried to make him wear pants, a long sleeved shirt, and gloves to prevent the posion ivy from spreading, but he wasn't a fan!!)

Happy Summer from the Crosby Family!!! :):):)
