No Baby

-
Still no baby.  And I think it's starting to make all of us a bit crazy.  My sister has been dreaming that either she's gone into labor (she's not pregnant) or that Pat delivered our baby at home.  Last night I dreamed that I had the baby, but that Pat had decided to go back to work.  I called him to tell him the baby was here and that he should come to the hospital and he asked if  he could come visit the next day because he was at work.  I told him no, and that he needed to come  to the hospital to see me and the baby now.  He finally showed up about the same time as my parents, my mom's old boss and Nathan's mother-in-law (or grandmother-in-law?) and then he held everyone else's baby, but not ours.  I went looking for him so we could make sure that we were settled on a name and Bella informed me that he'd gone back to work.

Let's just say that when I woke up this morning, I informed him that if he was not there when our baby was born because he was at work, I would not be happy with him.  Luckily, I do know that there's no way that he would pick work over being in the hospital with me and our brand new baby...

So we just get to keep waiting for a few more days, trying not to go crazy in the meantime....

Easter Eggs and Cars

-

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
