36 Weeks

4 Weeks to Go!!!!!!

We've gotten quite a lot done this last week. Darryl got some new glasses. Austin stepped on his last pair days after he picked them up. We also made his appointment to get evaluated for Lasik. Please pray with us that he is a good candidate!
We had a great night on Friday with our Bible Study familys. Christmas lights and Hot Chocolate. What could be better. Austin just LOVES playing with all the other kids. He's going to be an amazing big brother.
On Saturday we visited with some friends and played a little poker. I stayed in through at least 10 hands, that's pretty good for me!

I have my next OB appointment on Thursday. Not expecting anything unusual.

Lots of anniversary's this week! Jaime and Marcos on the 16th, Mom and Dad on the 21st and Gigi and Barey on the 22nd. Whew, with those and all the birthdays (you know who you are), plus the actual holidays, December really kicks my butt!

Our drama for the week is the Water Heater. It's been getting ready to go out. Hot water lasts less than 5 minutes. So, we had the Home Warranty company send out a plumber. First he replaced the elements. Still not working. Then he came back and poked around, called his boss to consult and decided it was something inside called the "Test Tube" that was not circulating the water. Essentially only the water right around the element gets hot. "I need a part. Be back in 20 minutes" turned into an hour and then a phone call saying that the part needed to be ordered and would not be in until Friday. When he came back to turn on the water heater again, a little hot water is better than no hot water after all, a hose was leaking and he said he couldn't turn on the water heater at all until the part came in and he could replace the leaking hose. I have no hot water at all until sometime Friday, God willing the part comes in then. I can't even use the dishwasher because it is only hooked up to the hot water line. We're going to be Paper plate and plastic cupping it this week.

A sweet thing today was that our dear neighbor, Mr. Hatley, from across the street stopped by and gave Austin a Red Cowboy hat for Christmas. He loves it!! Don't they look great? Austin loves to talk to Mr. Hatley when he is out for his walk. I think Mr. Hatley enjoys it just as much.
