Notable Day!

Today marked the LAST DAY EVER for the daycare girls! I've had them for a year and decided to not take them back after the baby arrives. I decided to let them go a couple weeks before I was due in an effort to be prepared and rested for delivery day! Jordan will still be around until next Friday and I'll take him back after 6 weeks or so.

Backing up in time...
Congratulations to Elliot, Amanda, and Kylie on the addition of little Jaxon! Poor Amanda was at our place the day before she delivered and was not comfortable to say the least!! The little guy made his appearance 9 days before his due date. Can't wait to meet him! I am anticipating many more fun play days. All of our kids are and will be so close in age.

I want to post about last Sat. Nate took Rhya on a father/daughter outing while I stayed home and did housewife stuff. They went to the library, bank, Target, Chipotle, BabiesRUs, Buy Buy Baby, and two furniture stores. I kept receiving picture texts of their good times. :-) When he sent me the following picture, I asked where they were, and he responded back, "can't remember!' HAHA- what a guy. :-)

Bill, Shanda, Kylie, and Karena came over Saturday afternoon. It was a long- awaited for fun time together! The time flew and the kids had so much fun together. I snuck in this picture of Kylie and Rhya playing meeting. They were singing their hearts out. If you look close you can see the corner of the emblem cup that Rhya was setting down:

Gary, Amber (by the way, congrats on the announcement of your upcoming August baby!!), Gpa Mark, and Gma Mo came over on Sat also. We chatted the evening away. Lot's to talk about!

Nate and Rhya's furniture store snooping led to a flying trip back to Woodbury by Mark and his sons Sat afternoon. They came back with not only one, but TWO lazyboys!! One for Mommy, one for Daddy...plus kids. :-) We are LOVING them already!

Back to this week:
- We had our 37 week appointment. Liz (our midwife) is pretty certain that Markana (what we call Baby w' the Lester family) is not posterior anymore. She had a hard time feeling the position though, so hopefully everything is lined up and ready to go.
- On the way to our appt we got a VERY EXCITING gender call!! We are about to receive another NEPHEW!!! Nephew Ault comes end of May/early June and nephew Larson comes around mid July! How exciting. Now we need patience to wait for the arrival dates. Kristina has some very crisp pictures of their little one on her blog.
- Check out shutterfly. I snitched some pictures off of Mom's shutterfly, but they show up teensy weensy on the blog. You'll just have to trot on over to nateanddarla.shutterfly.com

Back to today:
I snapped some 'last day photos' of the girls together:

We were lucky enough to see Shanda and the girls twice in one week. Kylie had an early out, so they came up and spent the afternoon with us. The kids had fun frosting cookies:
