A Typical Bisek Weekend (37 1/2 Weeks)

I just love our weekend routine.  Saturday mornings start off with coffee on our bedroom deck, followed by a delicious made-to-order breakfast by Zach.  Then we get on our bikes and head to the rec center for our Saturday morning swim.  Really I just walk in the lazy river and Zach actually swims laps.  Being in the water has been absolute bliss for me during my pregnancy and I have even attended a few water aerobics classes (I am still too scared for water zumba class).  Saturdays usually consist of errands, a nap and a trip to the frozen yogurt shop. 
Our neighborhood has an area 2 1/2 blocks from our house called "The Green".  There are lots of different activities happening there including Saturday evening outdoor movies, concerts and the Sunday morning farmer's market.  The last two Saturday evenings we have attended movies and concerts on The Green and every Sunday morning we go to the farmer's market.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE our new neighborhood?!


We can actually see the farmer's market tents right from our house!


Sunday evenings we love to go to Jazz in the Park at City Park.  We bring our picnic, sit and enjoy the music and watch all the kids running around.


Our weekend routine may change a bit after the baby arrives....but I am hopeful once things settle down we can get back to our routine with the baby in hand!

37 1/2 weeks (yes, I am counting every day now....)

The Tree Farm and Circus Fun (36 Weeks)

The Tree Farm has always been this far off place we have heard about through its catchy commercials on TV.  On Saturday, we actually got to experience it.  Why not go and purchase trees on the hottest day of the summer?  Zach's boss lent us his truck and off we went.  It didn't have a/c or automatic transmission - did I mention it was 95 degrees and Zach is more confident in my stick shift abilities than his own?!  So, I drove the truck 45 miles to Longmont, CO and arrived with a completely soaked shirt and a bad attitude. 

Once we arrived however, it was pure bliss.  They actually drove us around the 40 acre property in a golf cart as we sipped ice cold water.  We left with 6 trees crammed in the bed of our little truck...Zach was a little shocked when I insisted on hitting up the drive through for ice cream before I got back on the interstate.  However, he has learned not to get in between his 8-month pregnant wife and food....and look at the beautiful trees we have!



On Sunday, I hosted book club.  We read the book, The Night Circus and our food theme revolved around circus food - carmel corn, carmel apples, corn dogs, peanuts, animal crackers, ice cream cones, corn on the cob, root beer floats, chocolate covered bananas....we went a little crazy with the food theme!



After the food, the ladies threw me an impromptu baby shower....I love my book club!





Baby Bisek is going to be a reader with all these wonderful books...



36 Weeks!
