Well we have had a great visit with Grandma Sue. We are sad to let her go but Jim is really missing her so off she goes!!! We have been so blessed to have had Anne and Susan with us the last week and a half. I love them!!! Well, I'll post some pictures asap of their visit. take care y'all!

Playing at the Park with Grandma Sue

Curveball

Well, today we went to the doctor because I had had some spotting and we found out that the baby didn't have a heartbeat. I'm 18 weeks so in a few days they will induce labor. We are of course very sad. Thankfully Jaron could be with me for the appointment and then take the day off. Life and especially pregnancy is full of risks and sometimes throws you a curveball. We are grateful to at least have 2 beautiful daughters and a healthy marriage. If God wills it, He will bless us with another child or more. Thanks for your support. We love you and know that we will be okay although we do mourn the loss of a child. Love you!

Life...oliviadadada

Well we are so glad that Jaron is done studying!! He took his test on Friday from 7:45- 5pm with a one hour lunch break. It was pretty hard. The first 4 hours he breezed through but the last 4 hours were quite challenging. We'll find out pretty soon if he passed. yeah today in 2009 with a multiple choice test, it will take 3 months for the Engineering Board to grade his exam! so crazy. but at least we can hang out again and watch the Office and work outside together and sleep through the night without awakening with anxiety!! I'm so excited our garden is in and Jaron installed a drip irrigation system. Pictures are coming soon! Wish us luck!!

So today in the car Olivia goes, "Mom, maybe when Daddy gets home he can figure out where I got this booboo on my leg from. He's really smart Mom. He's the smartest one in our family. He's even smarter than you Mom".

really Olivia, why do you think Daddy is smarter that me?

" Because he's an engineer Mom".

Yep, Daddy's really smart.


Last month she told me that someday she was going to get married and have a baby. I go, "Olivia and guess what, I will be her grandma!!"

No, Mommy, you will be her babysitter.

Sprinkler Day

Well the weather has been gorgeous the last two days (after 40 degree windy rain/snow!) so we are really happy! what a run on sentence! geez! So today the girls and I played outside, planted some lettuce and parsley and dill and then Olivia goes, "Mom! Can you turn on the sprinkler for us???" so they ran and got on their suits and played for around an hour in the sprinkler. Ellie doesn't really like getting wet lately so she kept crying when her swimsuit and her hair got wet. She's in a little OCD phase. but she still had fun! One nice thing about living in a warmer climate! Can't beat swimming outside in April! Oh and as we speak Jaron is putting our boxes in the garden for square foot gardening. It's supposed to rain tomorrow. so here I am updating our blog! ha! Well my tummy is starting to pooch. For those extremely interested, I'll post some pictures as soon as I take some!! love ya! Leslie
