Due Date

Well, the week is almost up. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Hopefully he'll have better news then last week. Mom got here last night around 10pm. Connor and Laura love having her here. They think it's great to have another person to read them stories and who doesn't know all their tricks yet. I have managed to keep busy this week. I did get a fair amount of reading done though. I weeded the front garden, pruned the rhodies, did tons of laundry, played with the kids and read a million story books. We went to the children's museum on Friday and to the beach in the evening. I'm afraid I'm driving Patrick crazy. I keep running out of ideas for things to do but have enough energy that I want to be doing something! I sure hope this baby comes soon!







































This one is for you Emma!

At Least Another Week

I had another Dr. appointment today. I was hoping he would say we'd have a baby any day now but he didn't. I've got at least another week to go. Our kids sure don't take after their Granddad Kirkwood; he's early for everything. So far, all of our children have arrived after their due date and it looks like this one isn't going to be any different! I don't know what I'm going to do for another week. The house is cleaner than it has ever been. The baby things are all ready to go. My garden is growing like crazy all by itself and the kids have taken to cleaning up their toys on their own(I'm not complaining). I guess I could sit around and read a book while I wait! (I know, I know, FAT CHANCE!!!)

Sunset at the Beach

The other evening, we went to the beach to watch the sunset. Connor loved throwing rocks and sticks in to the water (just like Daddy!) Laura was a bit more timid around the waves. The sky was beautiful and we got some really nice pictures of the kids!

Pool Time!

A Cool Drink of Water

After working hard in the garden, Connor and Laura enjoyed a cool drink from the hose.
