update

this evening josh and i went out to the land...he and clay have been working on the roof all week and i've been 'packed and ready' for the hospital...so my camera is tucked in a bag....anywho... we sat there and i just MARVELED. i really think there are a few people that i know who are genius in their fields...and clay chapman is one of them.  his ability to see in his head a design to the last detail and then to be able to actually make it happen and flow and come alive....truly truly it is amazing. we have said it before but he is one of the few people who we just trust his design/build instinct...absolutely.  i think too it has been really good for josh to be out there so much this week...i mean, he was very present during the brick stages...but cleaning up, mixing mortar, this and that. but he is now a vital part of the building of the roof and floors walls to come...etc...and it is becoming 'his' project too...and he is loving that.

and me....well, i feel and see many signs that this little one is close to coming but still he/she sits on its head =)
but you know this week has been so special...like borrowed time with the kids...i was prepared for me to be in the hospital and away from them and instead i have soaked up teaching jack in the mornings...doing puzzles and playing in the afternoons with them and then piling on the bed to read at night....they are READY and ask me all the time 'are you in labor?" in fact esme overheard a conversation i having with the midwife so now asks me 'are you leaking yet mama?" haha! too much info i know but still funny =)

grace is downright amazing. i took a nap today and woke up...wandering through the house to peak out the window and watch her mowing the lawn!!! it looks great!~...then she and jack cleaned the back yard which sorely needed it. my fridge is clean and i have had such nice company running to and fro....she is a pleasure to have here!

ok....for those of you still reading with no pictures =) have a lovely night...and i'll be sure to post on here or text when anything happens...i promise! though getting calls and texts doesn't AT ALL bother me...i love being loved!  but just so you know =)
night night!
