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....

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.

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…

Utah/California: Day 3

This morning we went to IHOP for some pancakes. Gabe picked the Scary Pancake, which he thought was delicious. Josy, who is very excited to hang out with Bella, informed the waitress that “her name is Bella and she’s our lovely sister!” The waitress thought he was the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Then we made it way to Bryce Canyon. We stopped in Red Canyon got a photo stop (and bathroom break…). Then we got to Bryce Canyon, which was amazing!! We stopped at one of the random lookouts before hitting the amphitheater. We hiked from the Bryce lookout to Inspiration Point, which ended up being about 3.5 miles, round trip. The two big kids did great. Josy struggled. His legs were tired and he was in pain. But he struggled along and ended up with a few shoulder rides. At one point Pat told him that he was “the Little Engine that Could.” He said no, he was “the Big Engine that was sore.” Gabe found a lizard that he insisted on taking a picture of. Then we headed back to town and had dinner
