Counting Down

It has been a few days since I have posted. Part of the reason is b/c we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our computer and part of the reason is b/c we have been BUSY!!!

Here are just a few of the things we have been doing the last couple of days:

*We took Vance to see "UP!" It was a super cute movie and Vance did so well. I even popped some popcorn to bring with us and he had it for the first time :)!

*Grilling Out! Just the other night we had fresh, grilled corn and chicken/sausage kabobs. YUMO!

*Spending countless hours at The Discovery Center! I know I have said this a million times, but this place ROCKS! Web and Vance had a wonderful time at the water table splashing one another and me...LOL ;).

*Doing some last minute things around the house to get ready for little Jack's arrival. I even made some yummy peanut butter balls to take to the nurses. It may seem like I am sucking up, but really being the daughter of a nurse makes you appreciate them SO.MUCH.MORE!

*Yesterday we took Vance swimming at my MIL's pool, which happens to be all of two minutes away. He did so good and even blew bubbles all by himself. I grew up loving the water and my hope is that Vance will be a "fish" too.

*Spending our evening hours outside playing! This is my favorite time of day. We usually go out after supper and stay there until tubby time. It is so beautiful out here and the summer evenings are so peacefully wonderful. I even got a rocking chair for our back porch the other day. Once we get the playground all set up, I see many a days/nights being spent in our backyard!

*Mostly though we have just been enjoying our last few days as a family of three. So many people have said that two kids is almost quadruple the work that one is. I happily and thankfully accept this blessing. Like Kim says, "I am here to live for my children :)!"

Our hospital does not have internet connection in the rooms (gasp), but hopefully some of my friends will keep you updated on the progress of John Webster's arrival. I can't wait to hold him, to watch he and Web form a bond, and for he and Vance to be the best buds around!

You have been busy! :-) I am finally back from my blogging absence, just in time for you to (probably) take a little blog break! LOL! I can't say enough about your home! I had so much fun the other night... I'd never go inside, lol! :-)

I CAN'T WAIT TIL TOMORROW!

You and Web and Little Man have been on my mind a lot the past few days. I'm glad that you've been able to spend quality time with just the three of you.

You are an amazing mom and you will be even twice as amazing once Jack is here!
