Nearing the End of Pregnancy

Hello everyone! I know I need to get better at updates. No, no baby yet. I have had good contractions on a daily basis for the past 10 days, but as many of you know, that doesn't mean that much! I am just trying to keep myself busy so I don't dwell on it too much! I have driven my family crazy with a few of my projects. Beyond washing and organizing all of the baby boy clothes I have taken down the crib and assembled a toddler bed for Noah (thanks Terry for the bed, he's doing great with it)! I have cleaned all of the carpets (thanks Vaughn and Kindra for use of the machine)! We are currently shopping for a minivan. I know many of my Florida friends have told me for years how much I will love it. I will miss my sporty red Pontiac! Sigh! Mom-mobile here I come! And little does Keith know, I plan to clean off his dresser and night stand, since I have most of my clutter under control. His part of our bedroom is driving me nuts! I have a few other projects to distract me if I get desperate! My poor family!
Audrey and Nicholai have started school. They are doing great! Poor Noah! Everyday we put Nicho on the kindergarten bus he wants to go too! Last night, Noah talked to the baby. He talked to my belly saying "Hi baby! Hi baby!" It made me feel like he was starting to accept this new thing and be ready for a baby brother. We shall see!
Thanks for all of the baby name suggestions. Right now the top of our list for first name is Walter. This is Keith's middle name and the name of his maternal grandfather. We will probably shorten it to Walt, but we can't help but smile every time Noah says, "Wall-y."

July 31st, Noah Is Two!

It's hard to believe that this little guy is already two years old and about to be a big brother! We had fun celebrating his birthday with our family at Peter Piper Pizza. Noah loves the basketball game. Audrey and Nicholai played a great game of air hockey. (I can't remember who won!) On Sunday we had family over for cake and ice cream. We miss our Florida friends, but it's great to have family close, again!

Fourth of July Weekend

We enjoyed a week in Hurricane, UT (near St. George) with Keith's parents, Lynn and Larry. His sister, Lauri, and her family live in the area, too. We visited Zion's National Park while there. Keith loves to show how close he can get to the animals! We aslo went swimming at a splash park. Of course, we had a BBQ and watched great fireworks! We are thinking of making it our annual 4th of July tradition. It was great to spend time with Lynn and Larry, especially for the kids to get to know their Bergen Grandparents better. Keep Larry in your prayers! He just started treatment for prostate cancer.
