My friend Heather has a friend who's goal is to ride her bike around ALL the lakes out here... and Conesus Lake was next on her list. Heather and I got to talking about biking on Facebook, and before I knew it, I was on my way to the lake ~ 30 miles around...pregnant! :)

It was awesome...LONG, and awesome. I still can't believe we rode around the WHOLE lake. The other friend is an avid rider, and it's a good thing because she got a flat while we were out in the country ...NOT near the lake when it happened, or near anything for that matter. She carries replacement tire hoses and mini air compressors, and whatever else you might need and within 20 minutes we were back on our way. Finally when we got to the other side, we stopped at a little general store for some fresh water, and snacks.
Thanks for the amazing opportunity guys...I loved it and hope to do it again soon ~ just don't tell me you're heading for the Great Lakes next time!

When mom heard the news of our pregnancy, she had to come out for a visit ....complete with a baby gift bag :)
They were so excited and sweet and we had a great visit.
There were two gender neutral outfits...with little ducks on them... completely accessorized of course, a baby journal/planner, and our first toy...a stuffed turtle.
Thank you mom and peter!

We enjoyed lunch and breakfast outside on our patio, they helped me put flower boxes together for our windows, and we brought them to a new restaurant down at the beach and then walked the pier for a little bit. We had perfect weather while they were here and it always goes so fast.

Love you guys...will keep you posted!

Today is July 22nd, and we are currently at 10 weeks. We went in two weeks ago for the first check up and they confirmed it too. They predict the date to be February 16th, 2010.

We can't believe how lucky we are ... we were even able to plan for a winter delivery so I'm still all set for next years summer Weddings.

August 5th is our 12 week appointment where we will have the first ultrasound done...very exciting.

Fingers crossed... will keep the blog updated.

Went for a long bike ride with our friends Jim and Susan starting downtown Rochester, and along the Genesee river to Genesee Valley Park, which is near University of Rochester, over the bridge, and back to the city on the other side of the river. Long ride, and a perfect day. We headed through the city after and took a break at Boulder coffee where we thoroughly enjoyed sipping iced hot chocolates...no way, seriously better than any frappaccino I've ever had. So refreshing, and yum.


A few days later, we spent a little time at the Corn Hill Arts Festival...our favorite. And it was an awesome day...our summer has been amazing...so comfortable! And when it IS hot, I can handle it because it's so random...not overwhelming and every day heat and humidity pounding on me. The breeze has felt so nice...feel really spoiled this year. The festival as always had amazing artisans, food, and sights to be seen. Bumped into a few friends, and just enjoyed being out and about






And here's an update on the new fence Bob put in ...our back patio is much more private now. He even made the two panels into latching doors...he did an awesome job!
Thanks Bob!
:)


We also finally fixed up our front landscaping. Kept it simple...but brought back some daisies. Will not let them get out of control this time. I'm on it! :)

My friend Carrie sends random pictures to me of her baby and every time I sit and stare at him...looking at his features and how quickly he is changing even by the week. I still can't believe how babies truly look like both their moms and dads...how that mix happens is a miracle.
I want to post this picture of him because he is SO cute, and he is wearing the little outfit I gave him at her shower.
It says 'I'm what all the buzz is about' It's perfect because as an inside joke, Carrie and I share bzzt things and bees...

Here he is!
