Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of posting. I know I am never terribly regular with my posts but I do believe they tend to be a little more frequent than recently.

Updates on all of us.

Dave is still hurting. He is working hard anyway trying to get his jobs finished in a reasonable time. When he comes home, he has dinner and then wants to get to work on the house. I try and get him not to. He really needs to get better. Last night he got the shower set up. I no longer have to look like a beached whale trying to get wet under the bath faucet. And the other night he managed to jack up the floors on the other side of the house so pretty soon we will be ready to frame in the bedrooms.

The boys are both doing pretty well. Levi knows how to get out of bed so we have had to work out a new system for bedtime (back into his sleeping bag even though it is roasting hot) but things are good now. Matty co-operates well most days but he is starting to have a real mean streak and I am trying to be on top of that. He'll growl and tease and even hurt if he is in the "mood". I wont tolerate it but its taking a while to really get him to change. I think maybe its because Im tired and perhaps not as consistent.

As for me, 37 weeks and counting. I could meet my baby so soon now. I am getting very excited to see his face and finally decide on a name. He still moves a lot and some nights are so hard to sleep while others I am sleeping like the dead. My itching is mostly under control. I still have to take allergy medicine everyday and the other day I was only 2 hours late for my pill and I was miserable. I ended up having to take my emergency benedryl just to be able to fall asleep. The next day I was fine and I have been fine since... just have to be on top of those pills.

In other news, my sister in law came down to visit with the kids and I finally got to meet Edmond:I think he is do handsome. He looks a bit startled because of the flash. He seems like such a sweet little man. I hope ours is as content as he is.

Here is Brenna giving his little brother some love. She is just a few months younger than Matty.

Here are Eleanor and Matty sitting together on the rocking chair. Eleanor just turned 4 but she and Matty played so well together. It was very cute to watch.
One of the two of them looked sillin in the picture so I figure Ill put them both here.

And here is one last shot of the newest member of the family for the moment:
