Well - the day has finally arrived - sooner than I would like, not because I'm not ready for a baby but because its 4 in the morning and I can't sleep. Our little baby boy is due today. Its hard to believe this much anticipated day has arrived - but alas, the anticipation continues! Its the final count down. Hopefully the next post will be very soon with good news!
My amazing parents have been in town since Sat. and they have been such wonderful help. They are camped out in their fifth wheel in our driveway. They are such generous, loving people. It is such a blessing that they are available and willing to come spend this time with us. Mom has helped me keep my house clean (a huge feat). She folds the laundry before I even think to take it out of the dryer. She does the dishes before I even have the kids cleaned up from a meal. She weeded my flower beds and she is the best company ever. John fixed our fence, and has spent precious, precious time with my children taking them to the park, reading, going on walks, playing ball.... the list goes on. I don't know what I would do without them! I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.
We went to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake for Kimball's preschool field trip. Kimball and Julia are in a helecopter with friends Caleb and Brody (also siblings).
Fay's BFF, Kylie, lives just 3 doors down from us. She just missed the kindergarten deadline and is in Kimball's preschool class. Fay loved that she got to play with Kylie at her brother's field trip.
Decorating Cookies with Emma and Abbie. We finally got together with the Metges after way too long! We had so much fun. We only live about 45 min. away from each other but getting together is not as easy as we would like.
I feel like we should have an individual post for Abbie. Julia is in love with Abbie (who isn't?) Julia asks me almost daily if she can go to Abbie's house. Her prayers used to consist of thanks for Jesus and Abbie. Now if I prompt her "thank you for our family" she'll convert it to "thank you for Abbie." I want to say now that the weather is warming up we'll get together more often but both Michelle and I are in the last couple months of our pregnancies so it still may not be that easy.
Fay recently (I think I'm close to being caught up) celebrated her 100th day of kindergarten. Each student had to create a poster to display with 100 of something of their choice. We chose buttons because Courtney had given us a huge bag of all sorts of fun buttons. We only used a small portion of the bag. Thanks Courtney. They could also dress up like they were 1oo yrs old (hence the scarf).
A surprise visitor- Uncle Danny!
I made the cake the night before so he had to wait all day to eat it!
Kimball turned 4 January 21, 2012.
