As I type this I am sitting in our back doorway watching Kadin play with his sand table and absolutely loving the gorgeous weather today! It is sunny and warm, perfect for sitting out and relaxing in the sunshine!
We went to visit Jeremy's grandparents this weekend in Moses Lake Washington. I had never been and we wanted to make sure Kadin got a chance to get to know them a little bit and spend some time with them. Jeremy's parents and brother's family came too, so it was great to have a bunch of family all together. Kadin got to ride in Jason and Andi's van (THANK YOU!) so he could watch movies and be with his cousins. He loved every minute of it; I told Andi I thought we would have to move in with them after this weekend because Kadin wasn't going to let them out of his sight! Once we got there, it was great to let the kids out and run in Grandma's big yard. We set up a wading pool for them to play in, they played ball, it was great fun. Kadin was so exhausted after so much fun that by the end of the night he was the one telling us that it was time for him to go to bed!
We were a little bit worried about how he would do sleeping in a different place (he is a creature of habit and gets pretty upset when things don't go like he is used to), but he slept pretty well for a couple hours. Then he was up and cranky, so Jeremy took him for a drive. That conked him out until about 3 and then up we went again. After rocking and walking, we finally got him asleep again and laid him in bed with us. The problem with that was that he took up half the bed and Jeremy and I were so afraid to wake him again that we didn't get anymore sleep being all cramped up on the other half!
Other than sleeping problems, we had a great time! Moses Lake has a great water park that we took the kids to on Saturday and had a great time. It was one of those that starts out super shallow and slowly gets deeper so the kids could walk on their own for quite a while. That was great until Kadin's independent streak kicked in and he decided that he should be able to walk on his own ANYWHERE in the pool, including the deep end. We had a couple slips and scares, but overall it was an awesome time!
So glad we got to go and spend time with Grandma and Grandpa and family! Love you all tons!
One more fun piece of news: Jeremy and I are expecting our second baby! He/she is due around Jan 22nd (although everyone is betting we will go early like last time, let's hope not though!) and we are really excited about it! I have started to tell Kadin about the baby in Mommy's tummy and he got to come to my doctor's appointment today and hear the heartbeat. I don't know how much of it he really comprehends (not much I am sure), but I'm sure as I get bigger and we start bringing out the baby stuff again, he'll figure it out a little bit more!

Yeah for a new baby! I have to admit that despite the sleepless nights and far less "me" time than before, I love having a baby in the house again. They're so fun and cute and cuddly. I hope you get a good baby like mine has been so far. I also pray that your pregnancy is uneventful. Good luck with everything!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Wow I'm so excited for you! That's great :) Are you feeling alright?
Sounds like you guys had a great weekend trip- we are heading to Yellowstone next week with Michael's family and are worried about our little rambunctious Brennan around all the geysers and water... although lately he has been showing a more cautious streak. Hooray!
YEAH!!!!! A new baby :) And she puts it as a little foot note at the bottom of the post... sneaky sneaky!!! Congratulations :)
