101

Here I am! Sorry for the long delay and for making you worry, Rhonda. :) I have had good intentions of updating, but just haven't done it. When I saw that even Rachel had updated I figured I'd better get moving!

We leave on Saturday for NC and a week at the beach with Jeremy's family. We can hardly wait! I think right now I'm almost more excited to just get all my 'to do' lists and 'don't forget' lists completed than I am about the trip. Maybe it's just me, but going away for a week always seems to take a lot of planning and preparing. Does anyone agree? I guess part of my problem is that I like to come home to a clean house which means I not only pack, but also clean a house that will sit empty for a week.

Here are several highlights from the last few weeks:

Jeremy and I left Isaiah with Jeremy's parents and spent the day together to celebrate our anniversary. We spent most of our time at Harper's Ferry, WV. We have so many neat, historical places around here. All you homeschooling moms need to come visit us so you can take field trips! From our place you can easily take day trips to Gettysburg, PA, Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD. Just to name a few places. Oh yeah, can't forget Amish country -Lancaster, PA

We are having very nice spring weather. It was a little humid the last two days, but still very nice. Isaiah loves being outside! This evening he was disappointed that he was not allowed outside while Daddy mowed the lawn. He actually took it pretty well. He stayed on the back porch while Jeremy mowed the back yard and then stood at the front door and living room windows while the front yard was mowed. He loves his "Da"

(sorry for all the Isaiah updates, but my mind is too tired to think of much else) Twice in one day this week Isaiah walked into the kitchen from the yard and handed me a dead dandelion. He had such a sweet smile on his face. Somehow he has learned that Mommy loves flowers!

Last night I handed Isaiah his cup of milk and he signed "thank you" to me. I almost fell over. We've worked a little bit with him to do it, but not very much. I didn't realize he was even paying attention. Today he's been doing it more, but mostly when asked to do it.

Son II is growing and kicking a lot! I think feeling the baby moving is one of the very best parts of pregnancy. We can hardly wait to meet this little guy! As of today I've completed 25 weeks.

Ok, I'm about to fall asleep so I'd better get off. I don't know if I'll be able to update while we're at the beach of not. If I get a chance I'll try to let you know what we're up to.

Have a great weekend!
