What Ruby looks like after an exhausting day of FUN!
Yes, it is so cold that Sarah is wearing a tank top as make-shift earmuffs.
Sharon & Sarah chillin' on the deck.
Mike & Matt in a fierce game of "washer toss."We just got back from our one and only summer vacation this year. Mike, Sarah & Ruby headed up to Lake Emily Resort to hang with Sarah's family for a long weekend. Although the weather was frigid (hence the creative use of a tank top above) we had a blast and still enjoyed a traditional Minnesota summer vacation. Fun-filled activities included: a couple of walks with the dogs each day, eating, a new game of washer toss (this game edged out pitch the pea this year), golf, touring Emily, MN (we made three stops and drove down all of the streets for a total of 30 minutes of entertainment), eating, reading, fishing, eating, a boat cruise, naps, eating, and a wild and sometimes "R" rated game of Things in a Box. Mike, Ruby and Sarah enjoyed every minute of it! We also found out that Lil' Mikey will have a new BOY cousin in October. It was very clear from the ultrasound pictures that Rachel and Graham are also expecting a little boy!
Other happenings this past week in the Nickolay Gray household included another doctor visit and our first labor and delivery class. Everything is looking good with Lil' Mikey as he continues to grow weekly. His kicks aren't quite as violent - Sarah thinks it feels like he's doing slow laps and somersaults in a pool. Sarah goes back to the doctor on June 18 and soon these visits will be weekly as the big countdown is on.
Mike and Sarah also attended their first labor & delivery class last Monday at Ridgeview Medical Center. The instructor was nice and the class was pretty low-key. Sarah wanted to dive right into the gory details but we think they ease first time parents into these classes with a little "lighter" material the first night. Sarah was a little freaked out though because of the 11 couples in the class she is due the soonest! Time is ticking... Our next class is tomorrow night and although it makes for an exhausting Monday - work, race home to eat and let Ruby out and go to a 3 hour class - it's all well worth it.
Have a lovely week everyone and stay warm!
