Getting a whole lot of nothing done

Well I was hoping that this next post would be all about how Daniel and I worked really hard on the nursery and we have it absolutely perfect and I then would include awesome "before and after photos", but the truth is we havent done a thing! Two weekends ago we picked out two cans of paint but thats it. Oh well, I am only 20 weeks pregnant, that leaves exactly 20 weeks to go, so we have some time. I do want to get as much done this trimester as possible because I have a feeling that when the heat of August sets in and I look like an overfilled water balloon, I am probably not going to want to do much. Anyway, in the meantime I will post a few pics from the Pungo Strawberry festival that Daniel and I attended a few weeks ago. It was a fun little local festival held in the last little bit of undeveloped countryside of Virginia Beach. I was hoping to pick a few strawberries while we were there but unfortunately the fields had been over picked by the time we got there.

Here I am standing in the middle of the strawberry patch. I was about 16 weeks pregnant but definitely looking more overweight than pregnant.

We got to park in a field that is owned by the Virginia Beach Polo Horse Farm. I made Daniel take a picture of this lovely guy. We tried all we could to make him come to the fence so we could pet him but he was too smart to fall for our tricks.

Well, its not the grey Mini Cooper that I wanted but its still cute. Our Tiguan yeah I know what a wierd name, but it sure beats driving my sister's mini-van.


And last but not least, I had to get a picture of the strawberries.

  1. I like your car!

    You look good standing in the strawberry patch. I wish I could have been there with you to look for strawberries. They sure are pretty in the little blue baskets... Did you eat one?

    Horses never would do what I wanted, either... A mind of their own!

    Thank you for the pictures and stories.
    Take care!

  2. Hi Donna,
    Are you excited about your first grand baby or what!!! We sure are. Althought there is so much to do, its a bit overwhelming.
    As for those strawberries, their looks were decieving. By the time we got to the festival, it was so late, all the good strawberries were gone. I kept seeing people walking around with baskets of strawberries and I wanted some so bad. I did get to sample a frozen strawberry daiquiri, virgin of course. Not too bad-but just wasnt the same.
    Hope all is well on Oregon, cant wait to fly out there after the baby is born and see everyone. We havent started planning a trip, but are going to have to.
    Take care,
    Stephanie
