Missing in Action

Oct 2009

Okay, obviously we have been busy. This past week has been a blur of packing, daycare woes, Rocky preparations, Gymnastics, a Wedding, a few meetings, and just plain day-to-day craziness! I am going to attempt to write about it all!

First off, moving is going great! We are almost done packing, I just started today packing up all the stuff that we have been holding off on until this week. Our house is finally starting to feel more empty, which, in turn, makes me feel like we are actually accomplishing something. We are all so ready to move. At first, I really thought it was going to be hard to leave our big house for something much smaller, but down sizing is really bringing us all a sense of relief. Me being able to stay home and not have to do daycare anymore is such an amazing blessing. I am so excited to start this new chapter in all our lives.

Speaking of daycare, I could not have had more signs this week that I was making the right decision quitting. This past week has left a very bad taste in my mouth for doing daycare and I doubt I will ever do it again. I cannot really elaborate, but it is safe to say that if we need me to work, I will be finding a different job in the future.

In better news, Rocky is almost here!! On Monday, Zane got to attend a class for Future Big Brothers at our Birthing Center. It was so cute! They talked all about the baby, and he got to practice changing a diaper (on a doll) and how to hold the baby. Then he got to tour the birthing center and see the rooms where Rocky will be born and where we will stay for the next day or so. It made him even more excited, which I did not think was possible! Zane is so excited about everything right now, moving, Rocky, Halloween, he is a giant ball of excited energy!

On Saturday Zane had his first Gymnastics Demonstration! His Gym put on an Olympic Festival to showcase all the hard work the kids have been doing. Zane got to showcase 2 events, the Parallel Bars and the Rings. I am just going to say now that Zane in his gymnastics uniform is, in fact, the cutest thing ever on this planet. PIctures to come.

Then, in the afternoon on Saturday, Ian and I were able to attend the wedding of some dear friends, Erik & Amy. We absolutely adore them, and they could not have had a more beautiful wedding. It was so nice to get all dressed up and go out as adults for a fun evening! I cannot remember the last time Ian and I went out alone… The wedding was so wonderful, and we got to see a bunch of friends that we don’t get to see very often, but we always have a blast when we all get together! The guys were absolutely in awe of my belly. I literally could not get them to stop touching it. You would think that would of bothered me, but they were so cute about it I thought it was so sweet! I have grown up with all of these boys and to see these goofy guys as such sweet, caring men is so weird. But I love them all and felt so honored that they went out of their way to make me feel so comfortable. Being the only pregnant person in a group of young people is not always an easy task.

Well, I have more boxes calling my name. Tomorrow is my very last day of daycare. I cannot wait. It will be so nice to only have my own kids to worry about. I am already starting to feel more relaxed!
