Still Waiting.

Well, here it is Feb 27th and still no baby.
But, all is well. And we continue to wait.

4 More Days 'Til Due Date. Happy Family Day!

Well, four more days until I am due. Of course, this doesn't mean we will actually meet baby on the 22nd of February. For those of you who remember, Seth was born 10 DAYS after his due date. Those were 10 very long days. Aunt Joyce was with Micah and I because Jonathan was out of town for work. Each day could have been the day. So, I learned. I have my schedule somewhat busy for a 9 month pregnant lady so as to keep my mind somewhat off baby. For example, this morning I biked, took Micah to school, got groceries with Seth, and cleaned the floors. In the afternoon I volunteered at the school's winter carnival. We are looking forward to a lovely family weekend. Hey, maybe it'll be really special for our family. Maybe.

Happy 5th Birthday, Micah!

(in reverse order)
1. Opening gifts. Lots of Lego (and other things) - what fun!
2. Birthday cake - with a "5" in lego candy, and orange frosting (of course)!
3. Fort-building.
4. Backyard skating.
5. Pizza lunch.
Thanks, Uncle Andrew for helping AND coming to celebrate!

Thanks for a great day, everyone!
When Micah got out of the tub tonight, he asked how long it would be until his next birthday!

Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling ...

Seth

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John,
Went to bed with his trousers on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John!

One thing I can say that I am proud of as a mom is the reading I do with my kids. The other day, while driving in the van (where some of the best and worst memories are made), Seth was saying this verse. I asked him if he knew what trousers were. Of course he didn't! But CUTE!
