Nothing yet...

We had our non stress test today with the midwives at UW. The Baby is very comfortable and happy inside there, though the same can't be said for Mommy. The waiting continues!

Mom petitions baby to come out, baby kicks

Baby Hanzeli is still snug and cozy inside Mamma.

We asked Daniel today when the baby would be coming out and he said "28lbs." I don't think he understood...or did he?

Baby Hanzeli 2.0 remains in womb...

No new news yet. Michele was due last Saturday, but Daniel says the baby isn't coming until this Saturday at 2pm. He's very precise.

Daddy, I'm not a saint...

At night we pray with Daniel and ask for the intercessions of the saints, one of which is, of course, St. Daniel. To which Daniel now repeatedly replies:

Daniel: No Daddy, I'm not a saint. I don't have the rings around my head.

Hidden treasures of Seattle

Michele and I are nesting again. The other day we tackled the basement, which inevitably means a run to the dump. This is an experience Michele has never had.

As we prepare to start cleaning...

Michele (with a slight whine): I want to go with you to the dump this time. You only take boys to the dump with you, and I've never been able to see it.

Chris (who loves a trip to the dump with anyone): Sure.

I wasn't sure if she'd like it, especially if the tractor was active, but it turned into a fun semi-date actually. She was wide-eyed watching man's triumph over refuse unfold before her eyes. It always brings a tear to mine. She had a great time until I took out the camera. Special treat: we arrived just as the city garbage trucks were unloading; always a site to see!










When I grow up...

Daniel: When I grow up to be a man I'm going to use a cane.

Only trees have wings

Daniel watched a squirrel run across our yard to the fence the other day.

Daniel: "That squirrel is running. But he can't get on the fence. He doesn't have wings to fly up there.......................................................................................................................only trees have wings."
