Baby News

It is official we are having the baby on November 28, the day after Thanksgiving. The doc was going to make the schedule. We have been doing well keeping the gestational diabetes under control with diet and exercise. That is a big relief to me. I wasn't really looking forward to giving myself insulane shots, and I don't think Dwight was super psyched about it either. Everything is progressing like it should and we are waiting anxiously for the day to come. We still haven't really picked out any names, though my mom and gram have taught Brandon to call him Mac after my grandpa McCormick. Dwight likes the name Edwin. Brandon is okay with the new baby I think, but I am not sure how he will feel when the baby can't go back to where he came from. He is funny. He is not sure what to think when the baby kicks him through my belly. Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he glares. Hopefully they will be best friends.

Potato Harvest

We started digging the potatoes on Monday. Brandon went to Grandma and Grandpa Thompsons for the week. He was excited to go and didn't care if Dwight and I even existed. We are glad that he loves them that much and likes to go for visits. We have most of the potatoes in the cellar and hope it doesn't freeze to hard this weekend so we can get the rest. Harvest this far has been fairly successful. We definatley have been blessed for doing what the Lord would have us do (leaving at the end of June for a youth trek to WY). We have had some great help from friends and family with the harvest and we truly couldn't have done it without them.

This kid knows where the real fun is. This is his home away from home. He loves to go and terrorize his grandparents. During spud harvest he went for a week and was able to go ride a ferris wheel, see a bunch of animals (stuffed), ride the four-wheelers, show them what to really do with tomatoes and soak in as much love from them as possible. He has been having a great time and really hasn't missed mom and dad. He is coming home tomorrow though and we can't wait to have some noise back in the house.
