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... :)
