Another pictureless update. Sorry no internet at home!

November 17, 2009
Mom and Dad have been here for the last week, along with their friends Ron and Reona Cleaver. We’ve been having so much fun. They got here on Tuesday afternoon. Mom has been working on making the perfect homemade bread recipe. We’ve been in heaven eating hot bread everyday!!
Isaac loves having so many people here to give him attention. He’s discovered that Grandpa always has a soda pop with him and loves when he shares! He’s been having some sleeping issues since they’ve been there, but finally slept through the night last night. We were very pleased this morning when we saw that we got a full night’s sleep too!! Isaac is getting better and better at folding his arms each time we have prayer. Two nights ago he folded his arms at the beginning and then got so excited that he was doing it that he clapped threw the rest of prayer. It was hard for me not to laugh the whole time I was praying! I love watching my little man grow and learn things. I guess if he’s learning to pray we must be doing something right!! (Maybe)
Tomorrow is 33 weeks. I can’t believe we’re already to the single digits on weeks. We scheduled our tour of the hospital yesterday, we’re going on Saturday. We can’t take Isaac with us (no one under 12 is allowed) so we’ve been waiting for a Saturday when we have a babysitter. Mom said she’d watch him so we’re taking her up on the idea. This pregnancy is going great. I don’t have hardly any swelling, which makes me happy because my feet were already not fitting into my shoes by this time with Isaac. I’m planning on waiting as long as possible before I quit my job. We figure the more we can save before this baby is born the better. My aunt gave us all her girl clothes to go along with all the boy clothes that we have for Isaac. It’s been one of the nicest things. We’ve only bought Isaac about ten outfits since we moved here because we’ve had all her cute things for him to wear. The outfits we have bought have mostly been for family pictures so everyone would match and his Halloween costume.
Brandon and I are so happy. I love coming home from work and having the three of us play together or spend time together. Our little family just gets better and better everyday. I didn’t think that was possible because it seemed so great when we first got married, it was hard to believe that I could ever love him more, but everyday it grows.
This weekend there is bull riding at the farm down the road from us again. We love going to watch because you get to sit so close. Last time Isaac was scared of all the clapping, hopefully this time he’ll be excited and will enjoy seeing all the animals.

Short Update - No pics again

November 9, 2009
Wow time is sure flying by. Where does it all go? It seems like yesterday I was coming home from work to celebrate Isaac’s birthday and that was two months ago. I feel like every time I turn around time has run away from me again.
Isaac loved Halloween. He was a little monkey. We sure thought he looked cute in his costume. He loved caring his little bucket around and thought it was so fun when people would put things in it. He didn’t realize that they were putting candy in it because he hasn’t really had that much candy in his life.
The other night Brandon, Isaac and I were all sitting in the bed. It was almost Isaac’s bed time but we were having so much fun as a family that he got to stay up a little later than usual. He crawled to the head of the bed and put his head on my pillow. Then he reached down and pulled the covers up to his little chest. He then proceeded to have a very long drawn out conversation with Brandon and me. We have no idea what he was talking about but he was very adamant. He used had gestures and facial expressions like crazy. When Brandon or I would answer he would wave his hands to quiet us like we just didn’t get what he was saying, which we didn’t. Brandon and I could hardly contain our giggles as we listened to our little boy tell us all his news. He loved the attention and we were amazed at how much he is learning.
Last night was a first for Isaac too. Every time we have prayer we try to remember to tell Isaac to fold his arms. He usually just looks at us like we’re crazy and keeps doing what ever it is he was doing. Sometimes we’ll show him by folding his arms for him, but that makes him really mad so we just let him sit there. Last night for family prayer Isaac folded his chubby little arms (ok so they aren’t that chubby but they sure are cute!) and bowed his head. Then he looked at us to make sure we were still doing it. After the prayer was over Brandon and I made sure to praise him at how good he was. He clapped his hands and gave us each a hug. I love watching my little boy grow up!!
We’ve passed the two month mark on when baby is due. She’s now due less than two months from now. Who knows when she will come though? We’re hoping she’s born around the 18th of Dec. or else after the 31st of Dec. so that Brandon won’t have to miss school. I’m sure she won’t be born anytime around then because that would just be too convenient.
