1.We celebrated Michael's birthday a couple of weekends ago, we had a great time with some friends and family. If I forgot to invite you I am so sorry it is hard to keep track of everyone who would like to go. Thank you everyone who was able to make it, that meant a lot of Michael.
2.Last Friday we shampooed the carpets in our living room. We cleared most of the things out and shampooed around the really large pieces of furniture (like the desk, the shelf, hutch, and TV). Joshua thought this was fun, he was able to run around the big area for a little while anyway, until it became wet. Then we set up the pack-in-play down stairs.
3.Joshua and I are trying to get over a head cold. Now it has moved to our chest. I am looking forward to getting well again. I hope that happens soon so I don't have to go back to my doctor.
4.Yesterday Michael's parents and grandparents were able to come over for the day. We had a good time visiting with them and Joshua LOVED seeing his family again. He cried so hard when his Grammy (Michael's mom) left. He sobbed and sobbed for at least 10 minutes. It will be over two weeks until he gets to see her again. I felt so bad for him, his little heart was being ripped in two when she left. I think the two of them will do great when our baby is born.
5. Michael is doing great and keeping busy with school and work. He has a job interview today please pray that goes well. We could use the job. Thanks.
6. This weekend we will be driving up to Gillette, for our monthly visit. We really love visiting with Michael's family and our good friends up there. I look forward to this every month. This will be the last time we can make it up there before our baby is born.

Here's a picture of Joshua enjoying our open floor plan.
