Things have settled down a bit around here. Ben is no longer framing and is home full time. I was able to buy a van with very little frustration and stress. We bought a 1996 Ford Aerostar. It is old, but is in very good condition and has less miles on it than our car had. I waited for Ben to come home to sell the car. We were able to sell it on KSL, and it only took a few days. We sold it for what we paid for the van, so that worked out nice.
Mary had a birthday is now 5 years old. She started kindergarten and is a very good student. On the first day of school, I asked her what she had learned and she responded, "school is boring, and boys don't know how to listen." She is very smart.
Sara also had a birthday and is now a 4 year old. She misses the cut-off date to start kindergarten by one day for next year, so she still has two years before school. Maybe next year we can afford to send her to pre-school . She needs something because she can do all of Mary's homework with no problems now, she will be reading novels two years from now!
We are still working on getting some kind of medical insurance for my pregnancy, but I have been to my first appointment with my midwife and have heard the heartbeat of the baby. That is always an exciting experience. Next time I go back I will get the ultrasound. I didn't find out with the girls what I was having, but I plan on it this time. I think it is a boy, but I thought both of the girls were going to be boys, so it's probably a girl.
