ooh my goodness!! we just saw it snowing in minneapolis!! wahoo!! i am calling for mommy to sit in the rocking chair & sing the "abc song" while i sit on the floor playing the guitar!! love you!!

sorry we didn't get your contacts in the mail today daddy, is tomorrow okay? shoot!! and annabelle, we've got an envelope for you full of those labels for education too! you look soooo cute missing your front teeth!! are you getting new ones yet?
we made tomato soup out of the ton of tomatoes from yesterday! took some over to our neighbor & he made us put it at his doorstep claiming "stay back! i have the swine flu!" OH NO!~!~! guess we won't be visiting him soon !
mommy's belly is getting large!
i'm spending a lot of time with grandpa lately! i am going out there tomorrow, thursday, fri, sat, & sun this week!!
we lowered our price today on the house. a whole six thousand!
i'm begging to watch levi, so we'll talk to you soon :)

not a whole lot new going on. just living in limbo for a while. daddy is in spokane, we're not! our original plan was to be over there by october. HA! not so much! the thing is, mommy can make a decent income as long as we stay here. and keep the house up for showings. and even if we do get an offer, because it is a short sale, it sounds like a minimum of two months before anything will be acknowledged just to accept or delcine an offer! SO...what do we do!?! kinda wanted to get over there before having to travel in the "weather", but our hours are slim for avoiding that i think. (daddy said today that a few of the puddles in the alley at his place are frozen over already! brrr!)
mommy & daddy haven't set a date yet for the final move. seems silly to leave the place we're paying mortgage on while we still have to pay. but we sure miss seeing daddy everyday. :(
*sniff*sniff* there's too much involved to vent here! this is a family fun site!!!
clark county is expecting temps in the 20's this week (only at night!). we picked over the tomatoes in the garden today -harvested a half (5gal) bucket! guess we'll be making some marinara sauce this week too! daddy found a pretty good recipe. although, every time mommy makes it she subsitutes about four things & skimps on others!!...but it always is eatable! we made a birthday cake today! mommy says it was just a chocolate cake, but i kept calling it a birthday cake! we had a piece for dinner! yum!

"snot bubbles!!!" mommy's so proud!

p-paw we're praying for you & gg too, everything will turn out okay! we miss you & will keep checking airlines to see if we can find a special deal to come for a little visit!
daddy, we miss you too, i'm excited to spend a whole week with you next week! can i bring action to take naps with me?
as far as the house goes, things are looking grim, but we're not giving up yet. mommy's got yet another stack of papers to send back to the bank...geesh...they need to know everything! do you think the next stack will ask what color my socks are on tuesdays? mommy's been getting a bit glum over the whole thing, but i just keep her distracted by climbing the counters & slipping out the front door ( usually to sit on the front porch to watch the cars & airplanes or wait for grandma mary!)
i'm still refusing to poop in the toilet! even though i know there is a bag of poopy prizes in the garage! i just love to poop in my diaper!! (daddy, you'll be taking a few prizes with you for next week in case you can convince me!)
our green beans are just about done i think-it seems we could pick a serving or two daily! but whatever got to the zuchs & butternuts i think got the beans this week, there is a chunk of the garden that is turning yellow..our tomatoes have been plentiful too-what a good harvest for the tomatoes & beans, but not much else this year.
baby isaiah is moving around a lot in mommy's baby-she's "popped" since last week. seems she didn't have much of a baby belly until -POW!! he has arrived!! all of a sudden
darby, we're praying for you too, what a scary escapade for you-hang in there, maybe this guy just wants out early!? you seem to have a great support group/family around you!
by the way, thank you everyone for so much help around here-grandma chris & grandma mary & nancy & scott came over the beginning of the month & painted & helped clean up this house-HUGE improvements!!
& grandma mary is helping out everyday! weeding & waxing & carting me to & from the park!! i just love it! i wait for you every day! & grandpa has been putting in overtime too in hanging out with me! i love to go to your house to "play with trucks & eat ice cream outside!"
uncle luke carted us & his 30' trailor all the way to grandma & grandpa barge's house & back...what a load that was. do you know, we got SIX miles per gallon coming & going on that trip!!! woah..it was crazy heavy going over & crazy windy coming home. whew! thank you uncle "woot"
anyways, mommy better go, she's just procrastinating..chores are awaiting ;)
love you all~
