Our first fruit!

This morning, Hank's hard work in his garden came to fruition when he was able to pick the first (rather large) zucchini! May there be many more....



Only a week or so until we can have some yummy homegrown tomatoes!

June 8th

Today is my due date! I've been looking towards this day since October 2nd when we found out that I was pregnant. Ha, well I guess the Lord (and Henry) have different plans. My doctor told us yesterday that he would induce me next Thursday (17th) if he still hasn't made his appearance. Until then, I'm here (with my expanding belly) trying to be content and enjoy the time that we have left:)

fishin

I want to want to do things that Hank enjoys so that we can have activities that we do together. As an attempt, I agreed to go out to a friend's cabin to go fishing this afternoon. We actually had a really good time until it started raining! It's still a bit of a stretch for me to be outdoors, wet, fishing, and happy. Maybe that will change one day, but its baby steps for me until then. Notice that mine was definitely smaller than Hank's (still picture worthy though) and I managed to not have to touch a single fish the whole afternoon:)

nesting

Nothing is safe in the Uzzell household. Our garage, closets, drawers, etc. are suddenly not clean or organized enough. There is a deep satisfaction that comes with piles of things thrown or given away! We had a neighbor ask if we were moving due to the mass of stuff awaiting the garbage truck. I think that I have enough to keep me busy for the next two weeks:)

This past weekend we were able to get away to the Cunningham's parents' lake house in Macon for some sun and relaxation. It was a great break from support raising and cleaning, and it was fun to hang out with Robert and Katherine and Alley Jackson.



Auburn has been different without as many students. I've been able to see some who are still here which has been great! Hank has been busy calling and meeting with people about support as well as meeting with students. Other than that, we're just waiting for Henry's birthday!

Auburn shower!

These fun ladies hosted a shower for me yesterday! It was such a blessing to celebrate with good friends, food, and gifts!



Also, it was special to have Hank's mom and sister with us for the weekend! Thank you, Sally and Emily for making the looong trip here.

Henry's room!

Mom and Dad came for a week and helped us get together the baby's room! We are so thankful for them and are excited that the room is mostly done (need more things on the walls and a baby in the crib).




Mom sewed a ton! She made the curtains, two blankets, and another bed skirt to go underneath the crib. Wish I was that handy around a sewing machine:)





6 1/2 weeks to go until my due date! I'm thankful that it has been a good pregnancy thus far and I am getting more and more ready to meet him! Until then, I'll enjoy the sleep that I'm currently getting:)

highlights from EA

We had a great vision trip to East Asia! Even though it was a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would post some highlights. To see why we went, see two posts below.



Seeing Hank experience Asia for the first time was so fun! It was great to see him in a place that I love. He was a trooper and definitely was indigenous for the week.


Hank learning Tai Chi when we went to class with the STINTERS (auburn alum who are there for the year).


Some of our vision trip in class


I got to spend some time with my good friend from college, Joy Jonas! She and her family of four are there for the year!


It was really great to see and hang out with good college roomates, Amy Rambo (who lives there now) and Katie Bartlett (who lives in Hong Kong)!


The college guys and Hank on the great wall.

Great Wall!

When we went to Beijing at the end of the trip, we got to hang out with our dear friends, Aaron and Hayley.

Another highlight was getting to spend time with the rest of the STINTER girls! They were very hospitable and I loved hearing how their year was going. Wish I had a picture, but its on our other computer!
