Who's REALLY Nesting?

VINH IS!!! Tonight when I got home Vinh was backing into the driveway with a little surprise...that's right folks, a SHED...because that's what Baby Wang really needs! Actually, what for you ask...for the riding lawn mower that our "huge" yard (ha/ha) needs in order to keep it in tip top shape. According to Vinh it helps to have a father-in-law in the "Nothing Runs Like a Deere" business :) I personally thought...FABULOUS...what 9 month pregnant lady doesn't want to help assemble a shed in order to induce labor?! Time will tell :)

Oh and not only are we building sheds, but we're dog sitting for my in-laws. Daisy is enjoying watching us put the shed together! Also, if you look really close you can see Vinh finished off the patio with a fountain and all...it looks GREAT!

McCabe Family Vacation

This is a little delayed posting, but we enjoyed an extended weekend up north with the McCabe family on Little Winnie in mid-June! We vacationed with the Stenzel's and Mathai families as well so it was a big group. Just thought we'd share some pics of Ross & Molly's cuties...as they are growing up so fast!

"Ike-D" (Isaac - 2.5 yrs old) playing hide-and-go-seek!

"Huddy" (Hudson - 6 mos old) just being his ADORABLE self!

Grandma Connie's 83rd B-day!

We headed down to the farm for one last weekend before Baby Wang enters the world! We got to help celebrate Grandma Connie's 83rd birthday by going out for dinner on Friday night. A bunch of the family met at Northwoods in Mankato for dinner and to hear the live entertainment. Grandma Connie and Grandpa Jack really enjoyed the singers and of course Grandpa Jack sang a long with most of the tunes!

It's amazing to think that Grandma turned 83 and that Grandma and Grandpa have been married for 63 years...and still going strong!!!

I even got Grandpa Jack up to dance...only 6 months after his stroke...no slowing him down!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a productive "nesting" weekend with lots of projects! My Mom and Dad came up to stay with us and of course got put to work. We did find time to play by going to Cantebury Park on Saturday afternoon and the Twins game on Sunday. As for the projects...

Project #1: We are getting things ready in the nursery for Baby Wang. One of the projects we undertook involved recovering a rocking chair and ottoman. Thanks to the Burke's for passing along their rocker and ottoman as they're PERFECT! We (mostly thanks to my Mom's master recovering skills) got the chair done and will soon have the ottoman done!

Project #2: Vinh and my Dad finished off the brick patio in our backyard...and it looks GREAT! Now we just need to get the patio furniture all put out and the landscaping done and we'll be all set!!

Thanks Grandma Jeanie and Grandpa Red!

2nd Annual McChung's Mother's Day Getaway

This past weekend was the 2nd Annual McChung's Mother's Day Getaway to Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge! We had a great time golfing, shopping, singing karoke (the Quan's are a MUST hear duo), eating, drinking and just having a great time. We had a group of about 25 this year...kids and all...growing every year. Thanks to everyone for a fantastic weekend!

The Gopher Girls, Jess & I - also Baby Wang's 1st round of golf this season
