This Week's Update

First of all, No. There is NO baby yet. He should be here any time, but I'm not actually due until the 5th of July - so, who knows! And sorry Kira - some women take cute belly shots (Melia H and Tammy), but some just don't. I happen to fall in the latter category. But you will be excited to know that my ankles are just as swollen as they were with German, if not worse!

OUR HAPPENINGS AND PROOF THAT I'M LOSING MY BRAIN:

Grandpa Hallberg and Uncle Adam made a spontaneous trip this week and we had lots of fun. Thanks for spoiling us Grandpa! We had lots of fun relaxing, swimming, and hanging out. Sadly, I took no photos.

We also went to the Chandler Splash Pad with some friends. Again, no pictures; unless you count the ones that Treasure took on my camera of all the other kids (none of mine because we were in the bathroom).

Saturday we went to Canyon Lake to enjoy second-hand smoke and loud music, I mean nature. Again, I took no photos, but the largest piece of evidence for my recent brain loss is that I didn't even pack our swimsuits. As our friend Chris asked, "What's the logic behind going to a lake and not bringing your swimsuits?" I have no response. But the boys had fun playing in the sand and walking along the shore with Dad. By the way, it is officially VERY HOT IN ARIZONA!

Fun Times

These are my two favorite photos of last week:



German and his friends, Maggie and Heath, having lunch on the porch in the kiddie pool. These kids played outside forever with some plastic frogs and their imaginations. It was great - and not one argument to break up! Thanks Nikki for helping me get motivated and get the baby clothes all organized.


Apparently we've reached the stage when if silence has gone on too long, you should really find out what Eli is doing. I found him wedged between the wall and our bed playing with his trains among all the technology in the apartment (we're not that techno-savvy, but this might account for the internet charges on our cell phones).

My Sweet, but Completely Different Boys

German

As I pulled out the vaccum this morning, German asked me to get rid of the bugs (we've been invaded by tiny little bugs!). I assumed that meant to vaccum them up and kill them. But no, this sweet little soul only wanted me to scare them with the noise of the vaccum so that they would just go away. Nice Boy.

Eli

Eli loves shoes, not like a girl, he just likes to have any shoes on his feet. For the last few mornings he goes about his wake up routine and inevitably winds up with someone's shoes on (and usually on the correct feet). Then he gets very upset when you take them off, so he almost always wears shoes. Funny Boy.

New Background...

You might notice the new background... I decided that it is time to start decorating for the Fourth of July. My hope is that by decorating for it, it might come a little quicker and I can finally meet my new little boy (he's due the 5th). I will admit that this pregnancy has been less than comfortable and I'm anxious to bend over again and stop having sciatic pain shooting up my leg and bottom all day. By the way, his name is not yet official and even if it was we wouldn't tell you, no offense intended.
