When I couldn't find a babysitter for the ward adult social on Friday night, I figured it was Fate telling us to spend our last night before Baby as a family. We decided to pick up subs for dinner and play at the park together. Happily, the weather cooperated and we weren't rained out!
This photo of Lexi says it best: Jimmy John's sandwiches are yummy. This girl ate her sandwich over a period of about thirty minutes. She took a bite, ran off to play, and then came back for another bite every few minutes.
After eating, the kids all took scooters over to the skate park. They had a blast scooting up and down the ramps, but I don't think the teenagers/young adults appreciated interference from small people. We didn't stay too long.
As the kids played, I couldn't help but stare at the hospital across the street. I would be there soon enough!
The evening didn't end as happily as I had hoped. I was shooting for warm fuzzies at bed time, but it seems that child grumpies are part of the evening routine. Despite that, it still felt a little bit like Christmas Eve as we all anticipated Saturday's induction. The kids went to bed and Garry and I tidied the house, readied baby gear, and tried to relax. It was pretty crazy imagining that in just a few hours, we'd have a new family member in our arms!

It's going to be wonderful to have baby girl here! I am excited for the next post...baby arrived safe and sound!
Wow, that skate park looks awesome! Although Tyler scooting in flip flops is making my toes hurt just looking! Maybe he's less clumsy than I am. :)
Good luck today! We are so excited for you and can't wait to hear the news. <3
I'm sure that while I am writing this comment you are at the hospital and maybe even have a sweet little girl in your arms. Best of luck for a safe and speedy delivery. Can't wait to "meet" your new little one.
Little Lexi is going to look so big on Saturday! Oh, I can't wait!
You are such a blessed little (soon to be larger!) family! :)
A memorable evening before the big event. We're so glad she's here safe and sound. I love her name:)
