Happy Mother's Day!

Hi everyone!

In honor of Mother's Day I was going though some old photos to post and I had to laugh because I found some taken in 1985 at this park in my hometown of my mom and me and I have some of Gabe and me at the same exact places! So I will post some of those for you all to get a laugh from - notice in the train picture I still have the same head-tilt left pose going on 20 years later! I wish I had some more pictures of Josh and Diane to post! She is kind of notorious for wanting to be the one taking the picture instead of be in it! But I did find one hidden in Josh's picture files! :)

What else happened this week? Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. She is always thrilled to still see me. She said she checks the lists every morning to make sure I didn't call or come in during the night. I told her my mom has been saying from the start it will be on Mother's day and she's like, "No!!! At least another week and a half!" (34 weeks) It is really getting hard for me to stay down especially with the weather so nice.

Gabe is doing well. He has been with just me a few days this week because Josh started working again. Now that I'm kind of out of the danger zone we decided he should start. I think he's wishing now more than ever he was independently wealthy and could stay home with Gabe every day! (Doesn't everyone wish that of course?) Why can't we just all get paid for laying an the grass and watching our kids play? Can someone invent a way for us to make money at that please?

We've also been over at our house doing some improvements. It's been painted in the living room, nursery, and master br. Josh just laid a tile floor over the old wood in the sunroom. It's really looking nice. And this is gonna sound crazy, but we're thinking of flipping it. I know right? The market sucks so who knows if it'd even sell but we're thinking of listing it just to see. If it didn't sell then we'd move in and I'd be really happy but Josh would definitely work (roofing or at the farm) a lot and he'd get through his teaching classes a lot more slowly. If it did sell what would we do? Drumroll please....... possibly move back to Idaho! If I could have a dollar for every time Josh complained about missing Idaho neither of us would ever have to work and I could buy a beach house in Malibu! No joke. So anyways, we'd probably just rent and have Josh take a full course load so he could start teaching within a year. Then I might even do the online classes to teach too. After this baby we've decided we're definitely on a baby break. So no one ask me when the next one's coming for at LEAST three to four years. (Charm now I know how you felt!) So anyways, those are our recent family thoughts and issues. Tell me what you think we should do. Are we just restless? I promise we'll settle down when Gabe starts school. I kind of feel like we're one of those spinners right now and it's like, we'll be spinning for the next two years and where will we land? Cause where we are in two to three years is probably where we'll stay for a while.

Anyways, this is one long post! Josh is at the farm till noon and Gabe is out rummage-saling with my mom. He always comes home with like ten new toys and Josh goes crazy that he already has too many. Ahh... the joy of living with grandma, right?

Happy Mother's Day to all!
