Bower Kiddies!

We got to spend the day with some of the Bower Kiddies the other day, and we learned so much about each other.

For instance:

Boys will be Boys...

Girls will be Girls...

Gifts are always appreciated...






Bower's like to play games...







All Bowers are artistic...




Jon, Jacob, Ali created these "Monster Mash" drawings.



Last but not least...Bower's are GOOD LOOKING!

R.I.P M.J.

Finally in ESCROW!!!!!!!!!

Geez, dozens of dumps, four bids, and two Short Sales later...we finally have found a house:

• On the right side of the tracks
• with Vintage charm
• 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
• Established garden in the backyard
  
• Central Air and double paned windows!!!!
• REGULAR SALE!!!!!! Which means...No Red Tape!!!

9 Northwood (on the same street as the short sale house we were waiting for).

We have been waiting for the house just down the street from this one, but because it was a Short Sale, we have been getting discouraged. We had recently heard that the owners were trying to SAVE the house and get back in it, which we have seen evidence of just that. They are living in it again! More power to them if they can save their home, but luckily for us, another house opened on the same street! This one needs more work, but it is cheaper, and bigger!! We are very excited.

28 weeks and 1 day...

Ok, we are on the final stretch...3rd Trimester!!!

The baby kicks, flips, gets hiccups, and even responds to our voices. Sometimes the alarm clock startles the baby!!!

The baby is totally on a schedule, and kicks about the same times every day, and almost always after meals. I think that it likes ICE CREAM a lot because I always want it!

Almost 25 weeks...

Blast From The Past

Not sure who all was old enough to remember and USE this domestic artifact...but I do!!!!!!

Jon and I ran into a vender at the Sacramento County Fair, and I couldn't believe my eyes! It was a Rainbow Vacuum display!!



Dad Wever used to sell these Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners in the 80's and every good sales person should have first hand experience with the merchandise. The vacuum sucked dust and debris into its WATER tank, which had to be dumped after vacuuming. What a mess.

Is it still called a bump?

Not sure if this belly still qualifies as a "BUMP." But I do know that this is the first week I've actually started to feel "awkward." I just started a pre-natal Yoga class, and I can hardly do any of the moves I used to do with ease. I felt a bit silly, so I guess I just need more practice.

24 weeks and 2 days.
