Well, we made it through Monday. Matty didn’t feel well last night so he helped the MIL and I gather some of her spring clothes out of one of the upstairs closets and then took it easy the rest of the night. He plays this card game on the computer and will be disappointed that I can’t remember what it’s called… but it looks like Solitare to me. He’s really good at it and it seems to be a stress reliever. I’m not so big on any kind of electronic games. I do like the little brother’s Wii. A while back I was over at Mom’s and the 11 yr old was batting in the baseball game… Just as the 8 yr old is crossing the room oblivious, Jalon swings and double fists Kasper right in the gut. You had to be there but as Kasper is laying on the floor moaning we are all teary from laughing so hard. I like the bowling game.

Speaking of bowling, we have 3 weeks left in our league with Uncle Merel and Aunt Trish. We are dead last and have been dead last for weeks. My Lord, dead last in a bowling league. Can it get any worse? I don’t have a good game by any means but I manage to bowl my average most of the time, if not 5 or 10 pins better. Good thing our team is called ‘Just For Fun’

So I got on the scale today for the first time in forever…. And according to our scale I have only gained 4 pounds in 6 weeks!! I was thrilled! That’s not so bad. Even if I gain 20 more pounds by delivery I won’t go over my mental ‘highest’ weight gain goal. So that’s encouraging. I have been eating more food, no doubt about that, but we have been eating home cooked healthy and the last time I went out I had a salad with shrimp, a bite of nachos and a bowl of sinful cheesy soup. I haven’t been bitten by the ‘sugar’ monster and for that I am very grateful. I am so ready for the weather to clear up and we can really fire up the grill.

I will get more activity in the yard too… (Stop laughing Matty) We are hoping to put in a garden twice as big as last year and I would love to can some tomatoes and maybe freeze green beans. I have to find a better way to keep herbs over the winter. I lost some to freezer burn. Maybe if I hold my breath my Rosemary will come back. We did have some snow cover????

So last night we didn’t do too much… Matt’s work is getting heavier and heavier so I don’t know how much more he will be able to do after a day of work. They will be getting semi after semi of trees and shrubs to unload from now on through the summer.

Mom found a glider/rocker at an Amish Furniture store that she really likes. I told her I would try to look at it on Friday. I know I will like it. She has great taste. How exciting… a rocking chair for the new baby’s room!

Better get to work…. Check in later! Hugs, Becka
