Getting Closer

I know it has been a bit of time since I have blogged AGAIN! Sorry. Things are just going so well. I have been working and so has Brent. Dylan is enjoying his summer at the Youth Center. He has gone on two movie field trips, two hiking field trips for his "ology" club that his is in. That is a club about pretty much the outdoors...so you know he LOVES it. They went to Mt Diablo and to a Rock Center where they had fossils and rocks and such. Then he has gone to a museum and he is going to another one next week. They have really kept him busy. He starts back to school I believe on Aug 20th. We have been staying busy getting the room set up for guests and the baby. We have gotten the baby's crib set and stroller/carseat combo. The girls at work are throwing me a baby shower on the 29th of Aug. They keep telling me that I better not have the baby before that...ha ha. The weather has been just wonderful. It has rarely hit 100 degrees this summer, which makes it nice for me to be able to get out and have some fun. We spent all of the 4th of July running around. We went to the parade in the morning, then over to the fair, then home for a nap, then to the Demolition Derby. Dylan LOVED that. I have always liked to go and Brent and I wanted to share that with him. He was screaming....he couldn't believe that they were actually hitting each other on purpose! It was so cool to watch him watch that! Then we made it to Suisun City to the Harbor just in time for fireworks. It was a really nice family day! Since then we have gone to see Frank and Lynette, we went to Santa Cruz to ride the steam train at Roaring Camp thru the Redwood Forest and then off to the boardwalk for dinner and games. We have been shopping quite a bit when Brent has to stay close...or I sleep a lot on the weekends to catch up from the busy weeks! This past Friday we went to Redwood City to sit with Frank's family while Tina, his mom, had open heart surgery. She did wonderfully and is on the road to recovery. Thank you to all of you who prayed for her...I know it helped! Well I guess that is it...pretty much. The baby is getting bigger...as am I. We are really excited to see him and hold him. The doctors say that everything is going very well. I will have an appt this Wed. to check on the baby and myself...but I suspect it will be just as quick as the last visit was. This little man is in no hurry to come into this world...I think he thinks he will just take up permanent residence...ha ha. Oh well...all in good time. Best get going. Hope all is well with everyone. Hugs to you and yours!
