Busy weekend and a Failed Attempt

This past weekend we joined 160 teenagers for our youth group's annual Winter Blast retreat. It was a great time, but I realized how pregnant I really am - when I came home completely exhausted! I think I took a 4 hour nap on Sunday when we got home.

Today we got to slow down a bit when we were getting hit with yet another blast of snow (last week it was winter storm Q) - this week it's winter storm Rocky that is upon us. I am so grateful to Rocky for giving us an early dismissal from school today! The benefits of living in Iowa!

Johan and I have been wanting to take some maternity photos and with the snow coming down outside we thought we would give it a shot. Needless to say - by the time we got outside it was too dark and after one trial shot the camera battery died. I think we will just schedule an appointment with an actual photographer rather than try to do it ourselves!   Snow Update: It's still coming down outside and I am crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow (or at least a late start).

** Update: I did get my wish and got a full snowday on Wednesday!
