It's a beautiful fall day and I'm feeling pretty good! A rare thing these days, I must admit. I thought I'd update a bit. We've been keeping busy. Jeremy and I spent two weekends re-arranging our computer room to make a nursing and changing station for Peanut. I now have a computer room/nursery! It's kinda crazy, but it works for now. It felt good to clean out our dump-it-in-here room and get a little more organized. Hopefully, it's just temporary until she's sleeping well enough to move her into D's room. We had our one and only baby shower last weekend. I enjoyed visiting with family and friends, some of which I haven't seen in months! Everyone was so thoughtful and generous. We now have plenty of resources to purchase a couple of items we need: a double stroller and a new baby carrier. Plus there's left over for a good sized donation to Peanut's college fund. Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate with us! We are so very blessed.

Also last weekend, Josh and Nikanne took us to see Celine Dion in concert. I know, I can hear you groaning now. But can I just say, she is amazing!!! Legs that go on forever and a voice that is out of this world. I am still humming her tunes from Saturday's night out. It was nice to have one more date night before the baby comes. Derick stayed at my parent's house and Sunday morning was lazy and relaxing. Jeremy and I went out for coffee and treats, and made a trip to Toys-R-Us for some items on our list.

The Van is in the shop this week. As we were heading out on Sunday morning, I started the car and smoke started coming out of the dash!?! Quickly we shut it off, and Jeremy poked around the stereo a bit before we decided to let it sit and take the car. Monday morning, Jeremy took it to Renton Honda with a list of things we have been meaning to get done, plus the freaky smoke issue. It's getting lots of love: a new transmission, wing window repair, a oil change, tire rotation, and a new part that will help the oil stay cool when we are towing our trailer. They couldn't find much wrong with the dash, so hopefully that was just a freak thing. I miss my van, but Derick LOVES riding in Daddy's car. He's so into Daddy right now!

Here's a few pics of recent fun moments.


Derick and I had a blast playing Lego's on Wednesday night while Daddy was at a meeting.

What a beautiful child. I love Derick. I am so happy you were able to gather all of the money that you needed.
