Rah rah for the update :) I am so sad that I missed the reunion. Looked like a blast! Thanks for posting those pics Andrea. Everyone is growing up so well and so big!
Texas, texas humid and hot, you step outside and wish you had NOT! Wow! It was 107 the other day! Not sure what the humidity index was but it was nuts! It feels like you can't breath! Those poor boys out there working! More power to em'. I am grateful that we have only had a month of this rather than a whole summer. We got lucky with a bunch of unusual rain early in the summer.
Well our events are few but this is what we have coming up. We will be packing up and heading to Houston the first part of September and ready to work again by the 4th. Then we will spend the month there and then...dun dun nah naaaah...homeward bound. Hooray! We will then try to find a place to live...which will be tricky seeing as we are not sure yet what school Bryan will be attending yet. They all are within an hour or less of each other but placement is key! No need to be traveling all around the place if we don't have to. It just depends on what school he gets into and then decides upon. Along with that we will need to find a Doctor for the baby and me which will have to be decided when we get settled in. Again, no need to travel all over the place if we can find one close to home. I am excited for that though. The same Doctor for the rest of the pregnancy will be nice.
I am not looking forward to all the moving. My bladder is very small these days and driving is not my most favorite past time right now. Houston is only 4 hours or so away though and I am hoping (cross your fingers) that come the beginning of October, when we head back to Utah, I will be over the sick part of this journey called having babies! :) well, baby. Don't get any ideas.
With our family growing there is so much to do and think about. Lessons in church seem to change in meaning and almost everything for that matter. Perspective changes and life just seems so different. It is all very intriguing and enlightening. Priorities change, life evolves and progresses. The overall view is great! The wonder of what will they be like...will I know them? Will I be able to give them what they need? Will we have a home where they can feel safe and warm and have a refuge from life's storms. I guess most of those won't matter for a while longer. But the thoughts just race...mostly right as I am trying to go to sleep. Not the best time I would say.
Bryan is working hard and is already showing qualities of a great dad! He gets up early and does the grocery shopping when I have tried and just couldn't, (but I like to at least try first) even though he is so tired from work that he can barely find time to do anything. He helps me with anything I need and although i haven't needed anything in the middle of the night yet, I know he would if I needed him to. :) He is working very hard and I am so grateful for him! I know he is equally excited to return to Utah and get back into life again.
Well, this should be enough to bore you for a good few minutes. :) Not too many new pictures. I made a dress for Abby that I will have to post later when I load the pics on the computer. Don't worry...it was a very simple dress. But turned out cute and I learned a lot! (that happens when you have to unpick it several times to get it all to work right and look right, but this is how you learn.)

oh sweet rachel..how i miss you and adore you. and hurray for you for making a dress. know i love you!
i totally get the racing mind. it pretty much consumes me. i feel so bad for not being sympathetic to pregnant people before now. i can't stop thinking about this baby boy and how much i love him already and he isn't even here! i watch him move on my tummy (looks like a wave) and just laugh and get excited and so nervous. it is such an interesting, amazing experience thus far, and he isn't even born! sorry, but i still have to pee constantly. so no such luck there!
