Waiting…

May 11, 2007 by Elaine

Not too much going on except waiting for the baby to arrive. My last day of work is tomorrow and as most of you know I am not going back to work so I started training my replacement today. It’s kind of crazy to realize that tomorrow’s the last day but after I spent $40 tonight to fill up my CR-V, I can say that I won’t miss using as much gasoline!!

I sang at church tonight for the confirmation mass and the choir was so sweet and presented me with a jumbo diaper “cake, ” so needless to say we are pretty set on diapers, although you can never have enough! Here’s a shot of it.

Isn’t it cute? It came with spoons and pacifiers and socks and a cute towel and washcloth set and little toys for the baby and Ben! Thanks to everyone who “chipped in” – you are all so sweet, as ususal!

A couple of weekends ago Tim and Ben went on a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo with Tim’s brother Brian, his son Jack and Tim’s mom. I say this because I just had to post this cute picture of the boys with their grandmother – aka “Mother Bear” to Ben.

Why Jack isn’t wearing a hat, I just don’t know… HA HA! Just kidding. Ben just loves this hat that Tim’s sister sent him a while back and we call it the buffalo hat since it has a stuffed buffalo on it (appropriate, huh?) Anyway, I think it’s pretty fitting that he was sporting it at the zoo, don’t you? Also, just a comment that Jack and Ben are almost exactly 9 months apart (Jack being younger) and I think he might almost be taller than Ben!

Okay, so next time there’s a post it will probably be Tim posting pictures of the new little man next week, so stay tuned….
