So, I'm back! It was really hard to find the time for blogging but after seeing Justin's post, I decided to do just one more. This weekend weather was supposed to be less than ideal so we decided to stay home and get some projects done around the house since Jack will be here next month so we'll try and get to the cabin every weekend until then.
Friday night was spent watching the Twins game and then we had a couple visitors. My cousin Becky stopped over with her adorable baby girl Cody who is about 10 weeks old and such a doll. Justin was holding her and talking to her like such a pro. He will be such a good Daddy! Well, he already is but some guys are really nervous around babies, not him! Ella held her too and was so careful, she is very excited for her brother to arrive too so the practice is good for all of us. Taylor wasn't home she went to her friends house for the night after her first couple days of summer employment. She got her earnings and was off to the mall!
Today, Saturday, we were woken up by Ella around 3 am because she was sad no one was sleeping with her. So she climbed into bed with us. Now we only have a queen size bed so that is pushing it with me and my belly. We all got up to go to Ella's second baseball game. It was so cold, 57 degrees and the rain was forecasted to come. I ended up running home to get a blanket, sweatshirt and long sleeves for Justin and Ella. The game was good as usual and the rain held up til the last inning, which in this case is the 3rd inning. Yes, 1 1/2 hours and we make it to the 3rd inning. I'm hoping for better weather here out.
We came home and Justin started right away on finishing the kitchen, all we have left is to paint but its something we keep putting off. So he's painting, I nap. See how the "project's" get done? Well I better get off the couch and do something productive or else I will be disappointed in myself. Off to show my moral support for all the work he is doing and to try and get something done myself.

"Our" Blog...
Yes, in order to make this "our" blog, Dottie said I had to post something to it...she is right again! That was probably 2 months ago so I'm finally getting around to it...haha! What have we been up to the last few months...
Baby watch! We are now at 32 weeks and 5 days. We have the c-section scheduled for July 26 at 7:40 am! So a little over 6 weeks left to go! The day will be here before we know it, but it can't get here soon enough. We had the ultra sound in March and Baby Noah "showed" us! We'll be welcoming Jack Mills Noah into the world on that day! We are all so excited and can't wait to meet him! He's certainaly been letting Mommy know he's in there and active! Sometimes he'll kick so hard, it almost like he's kicking through! Dottie has been doing great! I'm so proud of her, there's no way I could go through what she's going through. Daddy has been feeling and seeing him move a lot too! I've put my head on her stomach and told him, "it's the only time you can kick Daddy in the head!"
Taylor and Ella are now finished with school and starting their summer vacation. Taylor will be watching Ella during the day until Jack comes and Mom is at home! Ella is playing baseball this summer and I decided to help coach her team! We've had a number of practices and 1 game so far. It's been a lot of fun to watch and help these 5 and 6 year olds to play baseball! It's also been pretty entertaining to watch!
We started our summer season of going to the lake already, although we had a longer than planed ride up on fishing opener. We were pulling the boat up and were in traffic on 94 just before Rogers when we were rear ended! We were just about to the Rogers exit and were stopped when a lady hit us. She hit us hard enought with her little honda pilot to push the boat up the trailer and into the back window of our car. We then were pushed into the car in front of us. Thank God we had the boat though as it took a lot of the damage. It was pretty scary at first, the kids were watching a movie and freaked out, then had to sit there for an hour and a half while the cops sorted everything out. I guess we were on the news for the major delay on a major freeway on a major weekend. The main thing was everyone was ok. She ended up totaling the boat and we did get the car fixed, all paid by her insurance. It was tough to see the boat in that condition as I had been taking care of it, washing, waxing, and of course using it for the last 13 summers. But I am so thankful we had it with us to take that impact. Taylor was in the third row of the car and had glass in her hood from the window being blown out. I don't even want to think what could have happened if the boat wasn't there. The boat definately took one for our Family.
On the upside of this incedent, we did get to go boat shopping with the insurance money! We got a 2004 Glastron 175 SX. Basically the same size boat, same size engine, but with a different layout. It was tough to be without a boat up there...2 weeks was enough! Hauling the new boat up there a couple weeks ago was a little nerve racking...tried to leave a lot of space between me and the car in front of us. Dottie only had to tell me to "watch out!" a few times. It was a much better trip up.
Dottie and I are thinking Key West in April for our Wedding! We still have to finalize a date and plans, but it's getting there. I can't be more excited to be able to spend the rest of my life with the one person I am supposed to, my best friend, my soul mate! I love her more than I ever thought I could love someone! I love you babe!
