Weekend Update

I went to Norbert's doctor on Thursday and I have been, yet again, deemed "medically boring". This is good! Now I just have to work to keep it that way. We scheduled our ultrasound for next Friday (while Auntie Em is here!) and we've been thinking of possible cute ways to tell people the sex of the baby. Here's what we came up with: "cute" takes too much effort, so you'll have to read it on the blog, hear it through the grapevine or (if my brain is even functioning that day) on the phone...probably from John since he's responsible like that.

This weekend has been a lot of fun; the Moore clan has been in town. Audrey is becoming more and more attached to my mother's little helper D'Arcy (a.k.a Duck) and we definitely miss the rest of the rugrats who temporarily took over the house too!

We're starting to transition back to working on indoor house projects since it's been so hot out. Grandpa S. has been slaving away building a mud room onto the kitchen in the garage. He's raised the floor already and is set up to install the new utility sink and move the deep freezer up too. It's exciting! I also finally picked a color I love to paint the Man Cave and, let me tell you, it's niiiice! In a few more months, we'll have carpet installed and the remaining black panels up on the stage--all we'll be missing is a HUGE TV, which John will not cease to nag me about until I happen upon several thousand spare dollars. Let me know if you find any.

Audrey has really started taking an interest in walking the past few days. She's gone from hesitantly taking two or three steps at a time to walking all the way across the pool room by herself today! We're so proud of her! I know, I know! You're yelling at the monitor about why I don't have video of this so you can stream it 24 hours a day. We were just too darn excited to even think about grabbing the camera! I promise I'll work on it in the next few days to appease the addicts. I love you. Please don't hurt me.


This week promises to be lots of fun too. Auntie Em just flew into Portland today for a conference and Audrey and I will be picking her up Thursday morning. We have plans for sushi and donuts (best combo EVER) in Portland and then we'll head back to the Tri-Cities for the fair. Audrey gets to see the bunnies again!!! And this time she better not be sleeping. Maybe we'll even get to take one home!

Norbert is 18 weeks old, the size of a sweet potato (I know--these veggies are getting sketchy) Tonight, when I was putting Audrey to sleep, he kept kicking her in the bum like "Hey! This is my room! Get up and find your own!" That's the most movement I've felt at one time so far...spurred into action by aggression toward his big sister. Classic. We're in for a ride!

Don't forget to check out the new photos I posted!
