The Ratchfords: Where Did The Summer Go?

I have been a horrible blogger this summer - sorry! The last 6 or 7 weeks haven't been out of the ordinary busy, but I guess the blogging just took a back seat! The summer was lots of fun for us. I sure enjoyed spending my days with Molly, trying to play some golf, and just not working. Molly got used to "running errands" with me. If we hadn't gone somewhere by 11, she would come say me to "run errans". So cute. So, we would go somewhere - even with no agenda! Molly has definitely found the 2's. She is still a very smart, good girl most of the time, but she sure has her naughty, stubborn, independent moments. Gotta luv it!

Molly and I spent a couple of days one week at Clear Lake with Papa and Meme. Other than that, we didn't make it up other than the one time over the 4th. Ryan and I spent a great day at the PGA Championship in Minneapolis. The weather was great, so this pregnant lady lasted quite some time! We saw all the players we wanted to and what a great course to see! We look forward to being able to go to more PGA events in the future.

Classes at UNI started this week, but I had Molly back to school a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't sure how the first day would go, but when we walked into the room and after I had talked with the teacher for a couple of minutes, she looked at me and said, "Mommy, go bye-bye...I want to play." I guess she was okay!

I have 10 weeks to go until Baby #2 is here! If last night is any indication, I might have some long days and tired nights. BUT, it is all worth it and won't last for long! Ryan and I are close to having her room ready. We have it painted, partially decorated, some stuff bought, other stuff of Molly's washed. Crazy to think we will have 2 little girls in about 2 months. Wow! So exciting!

Here are some pictures of Molly from the last several weeks. She is something else....
