29 Weeks

Everyone keeps asking me to post belly pictures, a.k.a. "How fat are you?" (Hi Aunt Alison), so I thought I would appease the masses before I really get huge. lol In case you don't already know my due date is June 18th and it is a boy. We plan on naming him Oliver Tristan. Tristan is Joel's middle name.

As you can see, I am a bit shocked at my stomach. :)

P.S. It takes a REALLY long time to make a sign if you don't have a Sharpie.

Have collected $975 for Pam's mission trip to see Jed and Brooke in Africa. WooHoo! 6 friends and 4 relatives. Don't worry, there's still time to get your donation in!

At the beach. I don't know why but I don't have any real pictures of Carl.

Visit with Grandpa, Grandma, and Auntie Alice

Dad and Alice were sick and we were pretty laid back about using the camera, so these are pretty much all I have from this past weekend. Sam had a lot of fun playing with his grandma, and it was SOOO good to see my parents and Alice. Excuse all the red eye...

Another Guessing Game for You All.

Guess which grandmother was rushed to the Emergency Room after sliding into a HOUSE while sledding with the grandchildren.

Seriously. (I am eliminated as I am not a grandmother!!)

Mark has been home from work for a month. It has come down to color and shape bingo.

Amanda Joy Walks, Talks, and Hams it Up

I know we just posted, but the other baby I usually watch is sick and hasn't been here since Monday. So, I actually have a few free moments!

Amanda is now 10 1/2 months old. She jabbers non-stop most days and says Mama, Dada, book, bear, and sometimes picture. She loves Cheerios and hamburgers (homemade by Daddy on the grill, of course, no fast food for this baby). Two of her favorite activities are reading books and pulling things out of drawers. She is such a "ham" sometimes (as you can see by some of the pics) and is now walking everywhere!

Pastor Palmer gave me this picture so I thought I would share.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!
Pam has purchased her tickets for Africa! We have talked and you know how she is, so I am taking responsibility of organizing a family fundraiser so she can have money to take with her to purchase whatever she needs to make a difference where she is. SO, if you would like to help, just send a check to me at 504 East 38th Street, Hibbing, MN 55746. Pam will be leaving about May 1st, so our deadline will be April 1st. Thanks!
