happies

* i truly love camping why cant it be done more often

* i love being a bookaholic, it opens up so many worlds

* as much as i love Oregon and i will probably have some separation anxiety, i am getting very anxious to move

* i cant wait to have book moments and quilting moments and four wheeling moments, and baby moments with my family!

* it really is a good feeling knowing your bosses love you so much they want you to stick around (lets hope ALL my bosses want me to stick around)

* God is truly an artist!

* saw the movie Stardust, its was so good a feel good like Princess Bride

sads

* once i make a decision i have no patience, i want to go NOW!

* i can not seem to master self control! and i hate the vulnerability of it!!

* Pres. Faust is loved and will be missed

* people are dumb (why are we the only smart ones, it seems unfair!)

* the girls working at the pharmacy in FORKS still have not gotten their copy of Eclipse because the store sold out before they got there . . . that is a true travesty

Happy- 1 more week!

It's almost here! Only a week to go. Now that's something to be happy about. Thanks Mom for all your efforts to find us car seats and a stroller and a pack 'n play.

Corbin has been hilarious in his determination to find his thumbs. He will snort and slurp and growl forever as he's trying to convince them to not only get to his mouth, but to stay in. When he gets them in he is content to lay as still as possible for as long as possible to enjoy the fruits of his labors. Here's a shot of him really getting into it.

I'm happy about Kim's move. I can't wait to see all the fun that comes from it (though I am a bit jealous -- I wasn't kidding about using that extra PT to come and visit OHIO).

Just talked to Karene -- no baby yet but probably sometime this month!

Here's a good shot of his eye color:

Great People Good Life

I guess I should do some quick happies and sads...

SAD
`No more vacations ever without a little one! (That's a happy too really)
`Not enough time in a day to get everything done.
`Our grape tomato plant hit the dust.
`My back is starting to ache all the time.

HAPPY
`We went to our first childbirth class and already learned a bunch.
`Dad will be happy that we even did some visualizations (something with a lake and a boat), but I couldn't help but think about walking through the field to the building with the treasure.
`We are going camping tonight
`We got to take the boat out again last week
`We went to a demolition derby (SAD: the guy in front of us went through 3 cigars throughout the evening)
`Grandpa Pete saved maggie's afghan. I was giving up, but she taught me her stitch and now I'm almost 1/2 way done!
`Maggie is moving and rolling around like crazy
`Mom gave me a maternity massage for my birthday and i am DYING to go get one

I thought I would put different pictures on different posts - so hopefully you will get something new lookking at each blog.

These are pretty big boys, so these must be pretty big trees!

Here is Fanny and a tree - the tree looks huge and it was even a small one!

This was one of the fallen giants. These are just part of the roots!!

Don't we have the cutest grandmas ever?

This picture is for the family's eyes and the family's eyes only. I must preface that this is after the 3 hour detour Dad couldn't live without. I only had my Sunday shoes with me so I had to wear Dad's shoes and I didn't have a hat so I had to wear Diane's hankercheif. I wanted to start singing something from Fiddler.

I should have put this one on the Petersen blog. It was the grandmother's of the trip.
