time is a tickin'

Thank you for your prayers. The memorial service for Julie was on Saturday. It was tough, and beautiful all at the same time. The hardest part was seeing her dad. He just looked so broken. Her sister gave a beautiful eulogy and her daughter got up and read some scripture. She would have been so proud. There wasn't a seat left in the church and I don't think that anyone was surprised about that. I believe the church held 450 people. My mom and I got there early just so we would have a seat.

After the service we headed over to the Disneyland Hotel for a Holiday Elegance luncheon that is put on by our friend's church. We have gone for the last 3 years and it is always fun. It was especially nice this year to end our day on a high note. We did miss my sister though, she stayed back and went to the reception for the service.

That counter over there----> keeps getting lower! I went to my doctor today, and my next appt. is in two weeks. They are seeing me more often now. :0 I feel good. The gestational diabetes test came back normal! That was a relief. Robert is working furiously in his office, so we'll see how that comes along.


We are having Thanksgiving here. I might be crazy, but it will be my immediate family only. No pressure there. Last Friday Harrison had a mini Thanksgiving feast at school and the Grandparents were invited. My mom and mil went, and he was thrilled to have them all to himself. They had a little skit that they had been working on, and he was a pilgrim.


My sister has been planning a baby shower for me and it's all been pretty hush-hush. I had no idea about the invitations. Just look at them! That is my ultrasound picture, my favorite one. The baby is actually waving. :) Robert was involved in getting that to Laureen, who made all of the invitations. She is something else, I tell you. She volunteered to make them, so my sister said, sure! A lot of work went into these, I just had to share with you. I love them. The shower is in a couple of weeks, I know it will seem much more real when I am opening up baby items. This pregnancy has flown by. I was just telling my doctor today that I haven't had time to dwell on it. I am so excited, but I also have two little boys that keep me plenty busy. So, I am just not daydreaming like I was when I was pregnant the first time around and time dragged on and on and on. Only 8 more
weeks to go.

I am doing pretty well with my Christmas shopping. The boys are pretty much done, thanks to this place. I got a few Playmobil items there. Those are high on the wish lists this year. That, and of course anything Lego is always a hit. Now mom, if you are reading this, please let me know what you and dad want. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
