And Down The Stretch They Come!

I think that Heidi and I are finally feeling close to the end of the pregnancy, and we know Julianna is coming soon. We're both a bit more energetic than we have been. It's a good feeling to be in the homestretch of this. I can say with all sincerity that this will be it for us. I don't know if we could go through all of this again.

It was a good weekend for us.
Heidi got all of Saturday off, to do her own things, while the boys and I headed up to Tulsa to see my parents. I had some work to do for Dad and of course Mom volunteered to watch the boys. (Who can fight a Grandma who wants to see her grandkids? Yeah, THAT ain't happenin'.) Heidi took the opportunity to get a pedicure and a haircut.

Yesterday we hung around the house, but we also went out and did some stuff. I got some stuck bolts loosened on the Mustang's exhaust pipes; I started the day with zero of six loose that needed to be loose, and ended the day with five of six. Not bad for a couple hours' work.

Today wasn't bad, either. After my gaffe this morning, we hung out at the house for a little while, then we went out and did a little shopping and we ate at Burger King. The boys and I got haircuts today. Then we came home, Heidi and Owen got some rest, Donovan played with his friends, and I just did whatever. Tonight I made my favorite cookies, chocolate with peanut butter chips. I'm not much of a baker (or a food preparer of any kind, for that matter...grilling excepted), so to get up some gumption and bake a full batch of cookies is quite an undertaking for me. The family loves the cookies as much as I do, though, so it's pretty nice to make that stuff for them.

Hope you all had a good weekend, too. Thanks for reading along.
