Fast and safe delivery

Emily and the new baby girl are doing great. Emily was a superstar and Jeff drove like Mario Andretti to the hospital.

Water broke. On our way to the hospital

Cool Critter (not a baby...)

Finally got to see the Bobcat that's been prowling around here.

The repair guy saw it, the realtor saw it... I was so jealous!

But now I've seen it too!

In other news...

yeah, there isn't any.

Keep those happy thoughts pouring my way!

Liv waited for the full moon... maybe this baby is, too!

In which case, we may get to meet her soon!

No News

Except for the happy fact that my parents have planned to extend their stay.

Still Carrying the Belly!

For those of you who are following our progress...

No baby yet.

Just this Ridiculous Belly!

I had a woman literally STARING at me in CVS yesterday. For a full five minutes

I'm not kidding - I felt like a circus freak! (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

It's been a joy to carry this baby, another easy magical pregnancy...

 - but we're all hoping to meet and hold Baby soon!!

apropos of nothing....

We built Liv an awesome cardboard box fort.

Here we are peeking in on Liv feeding  her baby. :)

Friday Night Golf Outing

Rain stopped for just long enough for us all to go outside for a little walk...

and Liv got to try out her new putter!

Grandparents Arriving on the Train

Grandma and Grandpa King arrived Wednesday afternoon at the Amtrak platform in Turlock/Denair. Liv, with the innate ability that all toddlers seem to have, found all the puddles, while we waited for the train to arrive! :)

Here comes the TRAIN!!!

Hoo-Ray! They're here!

We're so happy to have them staying with us!

That first night at dinner, as we all sat around the table, Liv signed & said to us "Many Family," "Big Family" with a big smile and looked around the table naming everyone. It was really a sweet moment!
