Our Weekend

I haven't posted in a while....again..... I just don't have much to say lately, so this is just another update:

This weekend Adam and Dillon took Ruby across the street to do a little fishing, and Ruby lost her balance and fell in..... well she got kind of disoriented and started swimming OUT deeper, so Dillon to the rescue!!! SPLASH! Adam said Dillon came flying through the air did a cannonball and rescued his little sister..... now that all sounds quite dramatic, so I better clarify that after getting Ruby into the tub (she was completely soaked head to toe), I asked Adam how far out she actually was in the water, and he said she was only a few feet from shore, but she was so panicked that she thought she couldn't touch, not to mention she thought that the BIG bass that they were fishing for was going to eat her. Anyway, I went back and checked on her in the tub and saw scratches on her neck, and she said that is where the BIG bass had her by the neck!! (Actually, it was a zipper mark from Dillon grabbing her hood and pulling her in.) So thank the Lord she is safe and sound!!

I turned 38 weeks yesterday, I have an appointment today and am hoping for the doctor to say, "Holy crap, you are dilated to 6!!!" Just kidding, but I am hoping for a little dilation, I am growing quite impatient!!!! Right now 13 days seems like it could be 130 days!

Not much else going on the kids are all doing well and enjoying school, in fact Ruby hates the weekends because she wants to go to school everyday! School pics are this week, and the girls are geeked about it but the boys HATE it, you should have heard them, "Awwwww, dang it! Then we have to be careful on the playground and not get dirty! Oh man, then when I'm playing ball tag, I can't jump in the mud!!! Please mom, just let us pack our picture shirt in our back pack so we don't have to stay clean on the playground!"

That's all for now!

Appointment update: Everything looks great. Dilated to 1 1/2 cm and 80% effaced.

Dillon is such a great big brother!

I thought maybe your lack of blogging and the fact that I called on Saturday and did not get a call back meant you were in the hospital delivering or something! Shoot! Well, make sure you call us when you need someone to come watch your kids when you do go in! I hope you had a good update at the doctors!

I can't believe you are that close already. It may not have flown for you but it sure did for me. i am still chuckling over Zack telling me that you were having twins.
Smiles!

What a great brother! But I bet that was scary for her! I'm glad Ruby is alright!
I can't wait until you have your baby! And I know you're super pumped too! I've missed you guys at church...hopefully I'll see you soon!!

What a guy, that Dillon=) Keep us in mind too if you need somewhere for the kids when the time comes. I know what you mean about getting impatient, sometimes I can't wait and then others I'm so thankful I have more time to get ready.

Hey Julie, where are you delivering? Do you know I work at Spectrum in the mother/baby department? I work part time and during the night but I will keep my eyes open for you name!
