Trip

I know this is premature, but I can't believe we are going to leave town for a day. Except for funerals,(and 1 trip to salt lake city with out the family) we have not left Vegas in 2 yrs. I almost forgot we did take her to Lake Havasu for the day. It was last summer &, was extremely hot. So once for her and Jerry and twice for me in 2 yrs. Still not a lot of away time. I need a break and I'm sure Jerry could use one. In a few weeks we are going to take Isabel to Utah to a corn maze/pumpkin patch. They have a petting zoo etc. We've taken her down town to do things, but haven't really went any where else. It stinks not working and being on a budget. Jerry and I use to go go go. If the trip goes well we will look at going to California or Arizona soon. Since our DVD system was stolen out of the car, I'm praying she will be a good girl for the ride.

Baby News

I'm so ecstatic that we are only having 1 baby. I was so worried. This last month was so physically rough on me and I had to eat so much just so I didn't get sick. I'm feeling better, mostly because I switched my prenatal vitamins. Today was a good day. The baby was kicking a lot on the ultrasound and the heartbeat sounded good. Now just 2 more months to find out the sex. I do however, because of age, have been flagged as high risk. Everything should be fine, but in the meantime I have to have at least one 2 hour appt with the high risk doctors. This should be fun. It is a little funny that my referral paperwork said "elderly" on it today. I get told I look 27 all the time, but I guess that doesn't matter. LOL! The neighbor kid said it looked like we were having a "teddy bear". It's funny, because it really does look like a teddy bear.

Breakfast

We went for a Birthday breakfast early this morning (Jerry's Birthday). I love this little place, it's so close to home. Where else can you get 3 meals and 2 beverages for $8.54!?! The fact that it's good food is a bonus. When we move I will surely miss that. It was gorgeous this morning too, perfect weather. Now I need a nap.

Baby

Jerry and I are pleased to announce that we will welcome our 2nd child into our home on March 12th.

Feeding the Homeless

A few weeks ago a small group got together at my house and we made 200 sack lunches for the homeless people living on the streets of down town Las Vegas. It was a great experience. It was also very depressing to see tent after tent of homeless people. After we assembled the lunches we drove down town and walked along the streets handing them out. Once the food was just about gone, then we delivered the last 20 or so to the homeless veterans shelter near by. When we got to the shelter we were told "thank God you didn't get caught". Apparently it is a $300 fine to feed the homeless, compliments of Mayor Goodman. I'm glad we didn't get in trouble for doing something good to those in need. Plus I would have felt very guilty for having the bright idea.

Playing

She was trying so hard to feed her "Brown cow". I love how she's holding him up with her knee.

Update on us

I'm just so excited to know Jerry is more than half way done with school. It has gone fast! Trust me that's not a complaint. I'm thankful it has. Jerry's busy studying for his boards. He takes the first of three next month. The second portion will be next summer/fall. He would have started his rotations yesterday, but took this month off. They take a month vacation both 3rd and 4th year. Usually it's not a vacation, because they are studying for their boards. So he's pretty much done with the classroom portion and will concentrate on seeing patients until he graduates. Isabel is getting so big. Her vocabulary grows everyday. I sing amazing grace to her at nap time. This week she has been trying to sing it with me. It's so cute, b/c she says half the words. She's a great girl! So all is well here, and we hope the same for all of you.
