Grandparents Know Best

Hello Everyone,

Sunday Jim and I attended a class at Condell Hospital for grandparents. We both passed and received our certificate of completion. Things sure have changed since we had kids. We are surprised that our kids survived. We are waiting for the arrival of peanut. I believe that Dave will take a week off and then I will help the next week.

By the way, you can't spoil a child during the first three months.

Just a quick note letting you know the ultrasound went very well. Peanut is head down, very low and ready to go. No wonder I was measuring small. :) According to the ultrasound measurements, the little one is 6lbs, 5oz!!! and is due Sept. 1st. We'll see.

Dave and I are going video camera and dishwasher shopping on Sat. We hope to find some shelves too.

All for now...

We're coming along...

Here's the progress of little peanut's room. We just need to find a couple shelves and put them up to the left of the window. Dave picked out the crib and dresser. He loved the spindles.

Mom and I had so much fun on Friday. We washed the bedding and clothes. Then sorted the clothes by sizes and put them in the dresser drawers. It was such a fun day!

The ultrasound is tomorrow. Say a little prayer for little P. I'll keep you posted.

Love,
Missy

Shower Fun!!!

Thanks to all the ladies for coming to the shower. It was a great time. A very special thanks to Angela for orchestrating the party. I have landed back on planet Earth, but am still amazed at the display of generosity towards our family. We truly appreciate it. :) Here are some pics to share with all... Love, M,D&P

Ten weeks to go...

Yep, just ten more weeks! I'm still feeling great, just tired. Have to admit, I'm getting pretty excited.

Peanut's room has been painted and the carpet shampooed. The crib and dresser/changing table have been ordered and should be here in 2-3 weeks. Everything is coming together quite nicely.

Our vacuum bit the dust last week. We purchased a dyson. It's awesome. I LOVE it. Aunt Shawn, now I know why you like your dyson so much.

Uncle Don, great to hear your project is coming along. Can't wait to see the completion pictures.
We have a wedding to go to this weekend in Madison. The girl that videotaped our wedding is getting married. The wedding ceremony is taking place in a theater. Pretty fitting considering she and her fiance' met in film class at Columbia. It should be fun.

Sami, how was Japan? Post some pictures for us to enjoy.

Aunt Terry, how is your foot? What kind of surgery did you have? How long are you off work? Hope you're better soon.

Have fun at the munch, brothers. It will be nice to visit with Margie. We'll be in Madison, so we'll miss the fun.

Have a safe 4th!!!

Love,
Missy

Room, Foot, and Home

Hello All,

We hope you're all doing fine! The Family room is almost done, it has some furniture inside now!!! We don't want to put all of it back, so we are debating what to do with it.

Terry has gotten an operation on her foot. She's fine, her toes are still a little bit grey, but nothing to worry about.

We all just got back from Norridge! We were looking at a retirement home for Marcie (Terry's mother). The apartment complex looked fabulous; very warm, welcoming, and cozy! :) We hope she moves this time...(for her saftey)

Hope to see ya'll soon,

Tornado

Hello All,

Yesterday was a bit scary for us. The tornado sirens went off twice around 8:00 pm. Naturally,
we went down to the basement. We later learned that there was a tornado spotted at 176 and Hawley. I read there wasn't any damage. We have the potential today for another round of storms. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

We planted our 3 tomato plants and 4 cucumber plants this week. I hope they grow.

Take care everyone and enjoy the warmer weather.
