The time is quick approaching for this second little boy to join our family and we are ready! Well at least physically with the necessary "things", we will see what else pops up as we go, because there is always something. Whew! I am ready to have this baby too! Jeff wants to take a belly shot of me and how huge it is. It's like you could just chop off my belly and there is a whole baby right there. The midwives that I go to think I will deliver before the 12th and so do we. We have decided that if it happened on a Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday that would be good for our main helpers, Brian & April but the baby will come when he needs to come.
So here are the pictures of what we have been up to getting ready for this new baby and Calder's ultra cool new and personalized bookshelf that was his birthday present from me that I just finished.

CALDER IS 3 YEARS OLD!

Yeah! Calder is officially 3 years old as of Tuesday July 1, 2008. We didn't have a special party for him but he has received birthday presents for quite a while leading up to his actual birthday. From Jeff & I he got a Tonka sticker work book and I am in the process of painting him a cute little bookshelf. Technically he got a new bed with mattress and sheets from Grandma Kathy & Grandpa Dann about a month ago. They also sent him a cute new summer soccer outfit and cool wood puzzle in the mail and couldn't wait a single day to open it, but insisted as soon as he opened it to try it on. Grandma B got him a bed tent for his new bed and new summer pj's that have Batman on them that he thinks is super cool. Grandpa Gary & Grandma Teresa got him a lego set that is Mack and his trailer with Lightening McQueen to go inside from the movie Cars that he has mastered taking apart and putting together basically by himself in one week.I think that is it so far? Sorry if I forgot anyone or anything...it's just been so spread out and so busy lately that everything kind of runs together in my mind. You know and being nearly a month away from having another little boy doesn't help my focus and memory either. Thank you everyone for loving Calder and making sure that he is as spoiled as a temporarily only child can be in our family.
Also we are going to the Barnum family reunion and a trip to good old Lewiston, ID so stay up to date with our blog and check out our adventures. Hopefully we will remember to take lots of photos and bring extra batteries!
