Welcome Jesse!




Yesterday was an eventful day. On a whim, I just decided to take Starbucks over to my friend Tanya's house because I thought she might be a little down from passing her due date without any action. She was really hoping to not have to be induced this time around. I just jumped in the car with Eli and took off headed to her house which is really close to ours. Her mom happened to be there too with Tanya's nephews ages 1 1/2 and 3, so Eli had a blast playing with all the boys. You'd think for a kid who hasn't been in day care or babysat much with other kids that he'd be shy or hold back, but he definitely doesn't. When we go to someone else's house he just gets right down and starts playing and running around. We were all talking about how much Tanya was hoping to go into labor soon and then she goes to the restroom and comes back and says that she thinks she's in labor. She called the hospital and her husband and they took off to have a baby! It was such a God thing that I happened to go over because I was able to stay and babysit all the kids for an hour or so while her mom went and picked up her neice from school clear in Haysville. Poor Eli was so tired, but just kept on playing and was such a trooper. It was so cute to see all the kids together eating their crackers. Eli enjoyed being one of the big boys. Tanya had a horrible pregnancy and birth experience with Seth (he also had heart problems), so we'd all been praying like crazy that this time around would be better and it was. I can't wait to visit them all in the hospital tonight and meet baby Jesse! I forgot to mention the other day that for the superbowl (since we don't have tv) we went to our friend's house (who bought our old house) and enjoyed an awesome dinner. He had made homemade lasagna noodles and this delicious wine sauce he'd been cooking all day. Fabulous! Eli just played ball and had fun running around our old house. It was neat to see our old house and how great it looks.
