physical labor

As you may or may not already know, we are moving away. Northern California came through with the best job offer for Loren so off we go to Brentwood (not O.J.'s Brentwood, this one is near Stockton). We are moving on Wednesday so have been packing for a few days now. Considering we have been living in four rooms plus one storage, you'd think it would be pretty easy. Four days of packing later, I'm wishing we were like gypsies with whatever fits in our wagon. Today was the hardest day (so far) and I'm longing for a hot tub. Tomorrow is the couch and other big items so my torment will not end until Thursday when everything is unloaded and arranged. Actually I like this feeling of being physically tired. Like when you go swimming in the ocean and your muscles are pleasantly sore that night. Dinner tasted especially good (just spaghetti) after several hours of loading furniture and boxes, and I have a feeling a steaming hot shower will send me right into dreamland.

Cool Dudes


this one of Owen's buddies from school, Tanner

boy or girl?

As you know we have been discussing about whether to have a third baby. We've asked Owen if he wants another brother or sister one day and his answer is always positive.
Tonight Loren is camping with friends, so Owen is my "bedtime buddy". He's sleeping in Mommy's bed, and not long after I kissed him goodnight, I heard him calling. I go in and he says:

- Mommy, when we have another "beebee" (his pronunciation of baby), I want to get a girl.

- well Bubby, if we have another baby, we have to see what God sends us.

- I think God is going to send us a girl, because He already sent us a boy.

We'll see....

useful muffin top

Finally I have found something good about my muffin top. Liam comes to me, lifts my shirt up and lays his face against my (soft) side. He doesn't like the shirt to get in between his cheek and my skin so he holds it up out of the way. So sweet, right? (and yes, kind of weird).
