Week 31 Update

It really isn't that easy to take a picture of one's self with the computer. This is my best effort and I am sure that Dave will chastise me for not waiting til he arrived home from school so that he could have taken something a bit better. But, oh well. I don't think that I look that much different from week 26; I tend not to change too much during the third trimester. We have never had a baby that weighed more than 7lb 7oz; consequently, I don't get too big near the end.
We are all doing pretty well here as only five days of school are left and I can already feel the pressures of the school year deflating. We have few plans for the summer other than a visit from a wonderful aunt and uncle from London, England and lots and lots of swimming lessons. Ben has finally consented to formal lessons after Jacob and Hannah convinced him that swimming might be necessary if he one day has to save his drowning cow. Jacob is using a similar tactic with Ben and literacy: "Ben, one day you might have to read and write your cows' names!" Farm coercion does work wonders with our second boy. Our other big project is turning the front toy room into a fourth bedroom so that we will have all four bedrooms on one level. Not much is required except for a set of double doors and black-out drapes.
And, that's all. It's Monday, so I'm off to wash the towels, vacuum the carpets and create order out of the weekend.
