Well, many events have happened since I last was around here. ;) One of which is that we rarely have internet service these days...hence the lack of posting. I got a new camera for my birthday so shouldn't have lack of posting material! For starters I picked 70lbs of strawberries and the kids enjoyed helping to put them up in the freezer ...make a lot of jam... and of course, eat as many as possible!!!
Two are better than one
After that I landed myself in the hospital for 6 hrs. with preterm labor at 29wks. and was put on "bed rest as much as possible". It happened to be the same week I lost my Dr. which only complicated things. :)
Help came for the following week.
We spent a week after that at Boppa and Gramma Jo's house.
Then A. Susie came and stayed a couple of weeks with us...which enable us to make it to Aberdeen Conf. as planned. While she was here my B-day came along.
Actually she stayed an extra day so she could be here on my B-day. What a sweet sister. She fixed bran muffins and smoothies for my breakfast and cleaned my entire house before starting out on her long trip home. We all got a candle in our muffin and I got a lovely birthday serenade. :)
We missed her terribly after she left. (especially Miss Kate!)
As I mentioned previously I received a new camera for my birthday. What I didn't mention was the "smile detection" feature. :D We had a lot of fun with it and it came in handy for the last maternity self portrait (coming up).
Enjoy our cheesy smiles! :)
In other news, we finally got the hot weather thats been hiding from us for so long this year, so the kids have been enjoying the pool.
I have made it to 36 weeks and have permission from the Dr. to do whatever i want now. ;)
This last week the baby has been bruising my ribs and I've plumb run outta room to store any more baby!
This Little Monkey turned 2 today!
We actually celebrated his birthday on Sat. though. I managed to scratch up a simple "big truck" cake, since he loves big trucks, in spite of a busy weekend. A yummy chocolate zuchinnii cake since that is the only kind he likes.
At least HE thought it was pretty cool. :)
And now its time to say Good night! Miss Kate has a bedtime story for ya! :)
Don't know when I'll be back with our sketchy internet service right now....So enjoy this one, til next time... :)

Oh wow, I hadn't heard about your bed rest, I am so glad things are okay! You look great by the way.
Your strawberries look so yummy and I think it is so fun that you let the kids help.
So glad you made it to 36 weeks!! And, glad you had so much help while things were iffy there for a while. It's always fun to hear what you're up to, since between meeting breaks are never long enough, haha! :-) Great pics! Gotta love a new camera.
