What a Girl Wants, What a Girl Needs...

I tend to be a bit of a raving lunatic these days. Sometimes I swear if one more kind and well-meaning person asks me "What? No baby yet?" I will kick them to the moon. Thanks for that, raging hormones. But today during quiet time I had just closed my wittle eyes for a snooze when somebody knocked at the door. DAH! I stormed out of bed cursing that salesman's name as I stomped down the stairs. I yanked open the door prepared to say "Go the heck away! Trying to sleep here! I don't want to buy 100 lbs of your steak! No the baby's not here yet, by the way!" But luckily I didn't say that when I realized that it was Larry, a sweet widower who lives down the street from us. He handed me a giant box of his homemade chocolates and a bag for the kids, asked how I was feeling, and said "don't worry, it'll come soon," gave me a hug, and that was that. I was left slack-jawed as he walked back to his car. We might just make it to the due date.

    Wow, what an intuitive wonderful person! I love him and I don't even know him. Also I laughed very much at your second label for this post: "Michelle is a freak-out face." So, no baby ye- I mean... It will come soon.

    So sweet! There aren't many reasons for forgiving a person for knocking on the door duing nap time, but I think that's a good one. What a nice guy!

    So thankful for the angels Heavenly Father sends to deliver tender mercies, especially to my sisters. Love you.

    Aw, sometimes I really love old people. Especially ones named Larry who know how to make chocolate. You are one lucky lady! :D

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
