We know it's been about two months since our last update but we've been a little busy and have been having electronics issues. That and the fact that we thought we would be moving in the middle of that stretch didn't help.
Our 6 year old desktop bit the dust completely. Steve pulled the hard drive in an attempt to get someone with more computer savy than us to pull all our family pictures off of it. Kristin was kind enough to give us the use of her old Mac iBook but it isn't working consistantly so Steve is going to take it with him out of town one of these days to work on it.
I'm a little uncomfortable with being 7 weeks away from my due date. Jaxon is beating me up and doesn't let me sleep. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good. I only gained 25lbs so far and am trying to keep in under 30 for the entire pregnancy. We are starting to think about the schedule for when he gets here and the help rotation.
Steve has been traveling his usual and obviously isn't getting the Peoria job due to Regional President interference and low salary offer. Still looking for something with him home every night.
Issie starts pre-school in three weeks and we meet her teachers the week before that. One of the teachers was a sub last year and Issie was specifically requested by her. Issie's now obsessed with the mini princess dolls from Disney that have rubber dresses for some reason (obviously the dresses are difficult to put on and we've torn a couple already) and she "loves" the Spiderman sock n bop. By love I mean literally she tackles it to the ground, lays on top of it and "makes out". No idea where she gets this I'm not in the habit of tackling my wife and pinning her to the ground for kisses.
Zane is our little artist (and as you see by the pic does a mean Jedi impression) He will sit at the Ikea table in the kitchen and color for hours. The only draw back is that about every minute or so he'll come up to you with a crayon and in his cute little voice say "Momma (or daddy), Z" Obviously he already knows what a Z looks like and he actually adds them to his scibbles. We think this is a little ahead since we only recently got Issie to draw the "I".
We'll try to update more often again. Just getting as much summer fun in with the kids while the weather cooperates and we still have just the two of them.
Zane DOES look like a Jedi master. Must admit (even as a teacher) I'm impressed he understands "Z" has something to do with his signature. Can't wait to hear stories about Issie's preschool too. I hope she's taking the baby lions with her. Let Jax know he can come a couple days early. Like the 8th or so. Then, Auntie Kristin can come visit for the Columbus Day weekend.
