Black Eyes, Wisconsin, & Baby

I've been going crazy. Literally.
Bed rest does not agree with my personality.
However, the contractions have been coming and we're not ready to let this little guy out yet, so bedrest it is.

Anyhow, Jeff took pity on me and took me for a drive through Wisconsin.  It is beautiful country!  There were so many quaint farms and fun sites to see. 

As you could probably guess, the boys have been going a bit crazy in the house during the day.  While doing jumps off of the little bed Jeff brought downstairs for me, Grant hit the bridge of his nose pretty bad.  Here it is a few days later and bruising up.  Boys will be boys!  I'm surprised I haven't walked in and seen Jeff doing jumps off the bed with them.  ;)



I am soooo anxious to get this little guy here!!  I love him to pieces, but I'm sure ready to hold him in my arms instead of my belly.  I get asked if I'm having twins.  I tell them that I'm starting to wonder!!  Only 19 more days!

Como Zoo

When Bree was here, we took the boys and Kya to Como Zoo. The zoo is run by the city of St. Paul and is completely free of charge. The kids had a great time getting out of the house and the rain that had been coming down most of the week! Here are a few pictures of the fun. Not sure which one is the real monkey....Will was so great to carry Kya's pink back-pack even though it wasn't a "boy" backpack. Will is our African boy by heart. He wants to go to Africa so bad and is saving his mission money, determined that's where the Lord is sending him. :) We had to keep him from climbing over the fence to join his African buddies. The kiddos enjoying the view of the flamingos. As fun as the real animals were, I think they had the most fun climbing on the statues instead. Thanks Bree & Kya for coming to see us! We miss you guys! P.S. I just finished my quilt and will get that up next! Sooo glad it's done.
