Spring Fling

I have not been on in a while and wish that time would sometimes stand still. :)  We have a lot of fun things going on right now.  Avary has just 2 half days of Kindergarten left and I am very happy she will be home with me for the summer.  She was sad when I told her that Mrs.Fries and Mrs.Harlow would not be her teachers again next year.  She thought she would have them every year.  Haha... little sweetie. She is going to be honored with a character award at her school assembly tomorrow and she has NO idea!  We are SO proud of our little peanut butter. 
Sloan is busy as a bee playing with her friends outside every day and getting one on one time with me at home.  She will be starting a great Pre-school in the fall at Grace United Methodist Church right next to us.  It will be a great experience for her and she will go 2 times a week.  Every time we drive by the church she yells, "there is my school"...
 I am 28 weeks along with Baby McVay!  It has gone so fast this time around but this pregnancy sure has been a tough one. I have not been able to enjoy a lot of foods, but it is well worth not gaining a pound so far! :) 
 The doctors say it's perfectly fine.  We were over the moon when we found out we were having a boy!! We have a scheduled c-section scheduled for 9.2.11 and we are hoping he sticks with that time since we have family coming in for his arrival.  We have his name under wraps and no one other than Aaron and I know it!  I must say, it is very fun to have a secret!! :)  The girls continue to call him Baby McVay and I think they will even after he is here and named! Haha


We have recently visited the Hartland Orchard where we picked our own strawberries.  The girls flipped out over this and it was a great family day.  There are still so many things to do here in Virginia and we really enjoy seeing it all. We went to Virginia Beach already this spring and really had a great time with Grandma Marg.  The girls could live at the beach!
Aaron has been very busy with a new job.  He was recruited by a Health Care Company and he received an offer he just could not refuse.  His previous company AMU was sure sad to see him go but they were very excited for him to be able to excel in his career. 
He took a position with XL Health in Baltimore, MD.  It is an hour and twenty minute drive for him but that is generally the normal commute around here even if you do work 3 towns away.  Traffic is a monster here!
 His office is at the Warehouse at Camden Yards where the Baltimore Orioles play, and NO he is not going to become an Orioles fan!  YANKEES all the way!!  We are planning on staying here in Virginia for another year or more.  It is just to much to move right now with a little one adding to "Our Nest".
