It is like crack in a jar! You can put it on toast, pretzels, apples, or as I like to do, eat it straight out of the jar. I tried a new creation this morning, Reese's Spread on crepes, yummm.

Like last time, pregnancy is just kicking me in the butt. I'm still very nauseated, plus I've begun to have some pretty significant contractions which have led my doctor to restrict me to "limited activity." Thankfully my parents have been here for the past month, and will be here another few weeks to help run the house and take care of Kevin.<br /><br />We have managed to have a little bit of fun in the past month, and here are some photos to prove it!<br /><br />My brother and his family came to visit us (along with my parents) and we all went to Pennsylvania for a weekend to see our family there.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div>Here's my brother Ryan playing a Pennsylvania game kind of like horseshoes, called Quates, with my cousin's husband Louie.

Well, tonight we went to the same house, to see their Halloween decorations. We were not expecting it to be nearly as extensive as Christmas was, but wow - it was. It's really hard to capture in photos, but this guy has his entire yard, driveway and roof covered in inflatable decorations. There are probably about 50 of them at least.

They live in North Carolina, where her husband Alex is in the Army. He's in the middle of a long deployment to Iraq, but was home for a quick business trip which ended in DC. Lisa and the kids drove up to see him off, and then spent two nights at our house. Kevin had a BLAST playing with Emily and Jace. Here's a couple shots of the three of them...<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SO95LUHay3I/AAAAAAAAA-U/t6aB5gRLfD0/s1600-h/CIMG5927.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255552525450005362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SO95LUHay3I/AAAAAAAAA-U/t6aB5gRLfD0/s400/CIMG5927.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SO95L9blGaI/AAAAAAAAA-c/t-u8B4Z3iic/s1600-h/CIMG5931.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255552536540420514" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SO95L9blGaI/AAAAAAAAA-c/t-u8B4Z3iic/s400/CIMG5931.JPG" border="0" /></a>Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989885288932557057.post-37858115135505027672008-09-24T18:32:00.009-04:002008-09-24T19:03:47.945-04:00The Big NewsClick below for a big announcement from Kevin!<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxLOxdHfaxJO-o9d_ZsNAI5QAQKUq1PeugKgpiBZOzMXqe78jzxbKXWO4rSWibAK_cx8lenuW8MF40wmvwRlg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /> </div><p>Yes, in case you didn't already hear - we're pregnant with baby #2. No, it did not happen on our cruise, it was a couple of weeks later. That makes me due on March 24, 14 weeks along right now. That means I'm at the beginning of my second trimester, the time when you're supposed to stop feeling nauseous and have more energy. Not so much for me. I've been very sick so far. We think not quite as bad as I was with Kevin, but sick enough to be taking Zofran (anti-barfing medicine). Other than me feeling like crap, everything is great with the baby. We had a big ultrasound a couple weeks ago to look for possible birth defects, and everything checked out OK. Here's a couple pictures of the little alien:<br /></p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SNrEjtj4NlI/AAAAAAAAA-M/AlESzoLsPNw/s1600-h/ultasounds.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249724433458280018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SNrEjtj4NlI/AAAAAAAAA-M/AlESzoLsPNw/s400/ultasounds.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p>Kevin is VERY excited about the baby. He completely understands that there is a baby growing in my tummy, and talks to it many times a day. He tends to yell into my belly button, but also likes to kiss and tickle the baby. He is proud about being a big brother, and takes the responsibility very seriously. He'll list all the things he is going to teach the baby when it "pops out." He says he's going to teach the baby to walk, play with toys, say words and eat.<br /><p>I'm already showing, although if you didn't know me you'd probably think I'm just getting fatter. Here's a little belly shot my dad took today. </p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SNrCX3_ho4I/AAAAAAAAA-E/f-aDxNHp2qc/s1600-h/CIMG5905.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249722031076909954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SNrCX3_ho4I/AAAAAAAAA-E/f-aDxNHp2qc/s400/CIMG5905.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>My dad, the hero, flew out here for 2 1/2 weeks to hang out with Kevin. With me being sick for the past 2 months, and Sam being completely swamped between work, a class he's taking at night, and trying to finish up our master bathroom, Kevin has been a little neglected. Mommy laying on the couch all day and watching hours of TV wasn't quite the stimulating environment he's grown to love. So for the next couple of weeks, Kevin has his own personal grandpa buddy, ready to take him for a trip to the park, or a ride on the train whenever he's bored. He's SO happy, and Sam and I are grateful for the break.</p><p>That's about it for now. Be sure to check back for updates, including new photos of the bathroom. Sam's up there starting to tile as I type this, so there should be some progress to show soon!</p></div>Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989885288932557057.post-78026621546305224272008-09-13T09:49:00.005-04:002008-09-14T13:07:51.493-04:00Fore!Back in July, on our way back from the beach, we stopped at a golf outlet where Sam bought a couple of clubs. Since that moment, Kevin has not stopped asking daily for "Kevin-sized golf sticks." We went to a friend's house the other day, who had a toy golf set that Kevin loved. He loved it so much he cried when we had to leave. So yesterday we decided to buy him his own golf set. Needless to say, he loves it. Here's a few photos and a little video of his powerful swing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBAmzqkI/AAAAAAAAA9k/lObFf_smaTk/s1600-h/Golf1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245503911648012866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBAmzqkI/AAAAAAAAA9k/lObFf_smaTk/s400/Golf1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBjJeMQI/AAAAAAAAA90/BlOmpziGM_Q/s1600-h/Golf3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245503920920211714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBjJeMQI/AAAAAAAAA90/BlOmpziGM_Q/s400/Golf3.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBVmtvtI/AAAAAAAAA9s/lMt6tKHTaWA/s1600-h/Golf2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245503917284769490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMvGBVmtvtI/AAAAAAAAA9s/lMt6tKHTaWA/s400/Golf2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzn-sprer1OiqzjNE3h2TDquditjE2wdXKv2Iz4tzcsxxNJ8U1oy0W9dNsgMeIDiyT2hykKxLkhliMlwB7T2w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989885288932557057.post-14183404815030779032008-09-09T12:40:00.007-04:002008-09-09T12:55:17.232-04:00School!<div>Yesterday was Kevin's first day at preschool. It wasn't a real school day though, it was a visiting day where you brought your child to check out the classroom and meet his teachers, but parents stayed the whole time. Tomorrow will be the first actual day of school. Kevin doesn't have much separation anxiety, so I don't expect there to be tears. He says he's excited.<br /><br />We took a few photos yesterday. Here's Daddy and Kevin walking into school and the closest thing to a smile I could get out of Kevin....<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMaofe8xYgI/AAAAAAAAA9U/38g_BwkHIe8/s1600-h/School1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244064074956890626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SMaofe8xYgI/AAAAAAAAA9U/38g_BwkHIe8/s400/School1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SManbFpivHI/AAAAAAAAA8s/DhpFhuJKahM/s1600-h/School2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244062899934248050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SManbFpivHI/AAAAAAAAA8s/DhpFhuJKahM/s400/School2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here's a shot of his classroom, and Kevin checking out the play kitchen.

Off of our master bedroom, there is a useless little area which I guess you'd call a sitting area. Off of that were two small closets and the sort of small master bathroom. What we're doing is enclosing that sitting area to be a large walk-in closet, and making the bathroom bigger while totally remodeling it. Here's the rough plan (you may have to click to enlarge it to be able to read it):<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQkKp_FsHI/AAAAAAAAA7s/GnBzdg2kMX4/s1600-h/Bathroom+Plan.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238852032026488946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQkKp_FsHI/AAAAAAAAA7s/GnBzdg2kMX4/s400/Bathroom+Plan.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And here's a before and during photo of looking back toward the new bathroom door.</p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQlAWWqwxI/AAAAAAAAA70/ykUcQI9xw5w/s1600-h/Before1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238852954469614354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQlAWWqwxI/AAAAAAAAA70/ykUcQI9xw5w/s400/Before1.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQlAk0z6oI/AAAAAAAAA78/EjpwyAnTXF0/s1600-h/NewWalls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238852958354139778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQlAk0z6oI/AAAAAAAAA78/EjpwyAnTXF0/s400/NewWalls.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238852968375378130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SLQlBKKD4NI/AAAAAAAAA8E/OAW0T1ZJQ7M/s400/Workers.jpg" border="0" /></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And of course a cute photo of my boys.</p><p>The drywall is up now, and as soon as I take some photos, I'll post an update. </p><p></p>Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989885288932557057.post-22182810449415976412008-08-21T13:47:00.001-04:002008-08-21T13:49:25.568-04:00NUTSI was making funny faces at Kevin this morning, which was making him laugh really hard.

Kevin started it off with just a run of the mill cold. Since then, we've all had fevers, stuffy noses, coughs and have generally felt horrible. Sam had to take two days off work, he was so sick. And as of today, Kevin has pink eye. Hooray! We've been holed up in the house not getting anything done, but trying not to infect anyone else either.<br /><br />Once funny thing to share. Kevin for some reason has recently been confusing the word "freckles" with the word "nipples." For example, he'll point to the freckles on my arms and exclaim "NIPPLES mama!" Pretty funny, but it cold be embarrassing in public. Then last night, I had a chicken sandwich from Chili's. Kevin got very excited, pointing at my sandwich saying, "look mama, nipples, nipples." Took us a while to figure it out, but it turns out he was saying that the bun had "freckles" because it had sesame seeds on it. He continues to call them nipples, and at lunch today he was picking the nipples off of his McDonald's cheeseburger and eating them. I'm scared to think what his preschool teacher is going to think we've been teaching him...Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989885288932557057.post-72401193278810728162008-08-01T11:03:00.012-04:002008-08-01T11:47:09.373-04:00Down by the seaWe got back on Tuesday from a 3 day trip to the beach in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This was Kevin's first trip to the beach that he can remember, and he loved it. Rehoboth is a cute little town with a downtown street full of nice shops and restaurants and a boardwalk along the beach with candy, funnel cakes, carnival games and rides. We all had a great time!<br /><br />Here's a few photos of him playing on the beach...<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMq0tus1mI/AAAAAAAAA5c/wZceF2sKqWA/s1600-h/Beach1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229570677424313954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMq0tus1mI/AAAAAAAAA5c/wZceF2sKqWA/s320/Beach1.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMq1U0K0FI/AAAAAAAAA5s/P9oravi-nw8/s1600-h/Beach3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229570687916232786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMq1U0K0FI/AAAAAAAAA5s/P9oravi-nw8/s320/Beach3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMr4KLl3NI/AAAAAAAAA6E/ACeUZ9011RY/s1600-h/Beach6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229571836112919762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_0NHGGFFi4nY/SJMr4KLl3NI/AAAAAAAAA6E/ACeUZ9011RY/s320/Beach6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />He decided to make friends with some random ladies and laid with them for a while.

And especially because we were paying for that website and having a blog is free, I’m going to switch over to a new and hopefully easier (and therefore more frequently utilized) way to share what’s going on with us and post recent photos. Namely, this blog. Speaking of names – for those of you not quick enough to catch it, Erica’s Cafe is a play on my name…. EricaS cafe - get it? Because Kevin is sick right now (with a cold), this is about all I have time to add for today, but soon this page will be chock full of funny stories about Kevin, cute photos, and even some boring updates about our bathroom remodeling project – since that’s all we do these days. See you all soon!Erica Scafehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07631611026422972509noreply@blogger.com1
