Heading into the holiday

We are still in a holding pattern with Lauren. She amazes me. At this point, I would have done ANYTHING to go into labor. She is much more patient about the whole thing. She has now officially carried a baby longer than I ever did.

James was very kind to listen to me and wait to come while I was in Las Vegas. Is it too much to ask him to either come before Easter so I can still make Easter dinner or hold off until after dinner? Hmmmmm...

Today was fun. Matthew had the day off from school b/c they never had an inclement weather day. Thomas and ME still had school, so Matthew and I had a fun 5 hours together. We ran lots of errands and got in a few chapters of James and the Giant Peach.

I have been meaning to say for a while that if you are looking for a great show to watch, tune in Wednesday nights to Criminal Minds. It is an hour jam packed with psychological drama. It is one of our favorite shows.

A sweet story from this week: Our nightly routine has added another element. ME loves to snuggle with the boys for several minutes before bedtime. The boys ask us to leave and when we peak around the corner, they are usually playing dinosaurs or scratching backs, etc. After we put ME down on Tuesday night, she cried for a long time (thankyou DST). She kept yelling, "Mama, Mama!" Finally, Bryon and I decided to get her out of bed for a while as it was apparent she wasn't settling down. I picked her up, touched that she was calling my name, but then she went boneless and dove to the ground. She started running into the boys' room yelling, "MaaMaa! MaaMaa!" which is what she calls Matthew and I guess what she was yelling the whole time! I am glad that she loves them so much!

I am so glad that this week is over! We had activities every night of the week and it is starting to drain me. I am looking forward to a wonderful 3 day weekend to reenergize.

Happy Easter everyone, and I will keep ya'll posted on Lauren and James.
