A new do...

I enjoyed Jordyn's long hair and she was really good about letting me brush it, put it up, etc, but it was really thin to be that long so this morning I gave her a haircut in the backyard. It's just like Patience used to wear her hair...short in the back, tapering longer in the front, with bangs. Here is her new look:





I think it'll be a good cut on her while we wait for her hair to thicken up.

So, yesterday Don took Nathan and I south of the border. We stopped at Nathan's bank in Washington and wire-transfered all of his funds to his new Coast Guard credit union account, and then tried to explain the importance of keeping his receipt showing that transaction. I think Nathan is going to have to learn a few lessons the hard way...

From there we headed to Val and Dave's, where we saw the cutest little miniature horse named Stuart Little and then we loaded up all of the baby stuff that we might need into the back of Don's pickup. Now we have a carseat to bring the baby home in plus a million billion other things!

Then Val, Dave, Don, Nathan, and I all headed out to the Richey's new favorite restaurant, Taco Lobo, in downtown Bellingham. It was delicious and we had lots of fun. We headed back to their house to help them at a delicious Key Lime cheesecake that Dave found at Costco. Mom, that would have totally been worth the extra points!

We got home around 8:30. Jordyn was already asleep in bed, but big brother babysitters graciously let Patience stay up late and watch t.v.

This morning I had a doctor appointment. Everything continues to look/sound/feel good and we're still on schedule for a 9/29 delivery unless the baby decides to come earlier.

Nathan is multi-tasking...making sure his ATM card works since we changed his bank account from a savings to a checking, and getting in his daily exercise. He's biking down to the Co-op and back...around 5 miles, I think.

In 24 hours we'll be on our way to the Bellingham airport. I'm doing okay, all things considered...
