Easter and Anniversary

Everything has been crazy, as life usually is.
Art took a short leave from school. He got a second job to catch up on bills. He's now working Pizza Hut at night as a driver, and Coppermill all week as a cook. He enjoys both. The Coppermill has surprised him in how relaxed it is. He was not looking forward to another Aggy's experience. Thankfully, there is less swearing and more team work at the Coppermill. We're still weighing options on which job he wants to keep when he starts school again after the baby is born.

I started working at Opinionology (Western Watts)a couple of weeks ago to help with the bills. It is not really ideal. I am tired and sore. With school and work, I've been more drained. I really just want to stay home and be with my family. (Art says that is all he wants to do as well.) It will be nice when we have our own business that the kids can come and help us with. Then we can earn money and be with each other! School is out next week and I may be done working by then as well. We'll see how things go. This pregnancy has been really hard.

Art and I are receiving subpoenas, apparently. There was a reckless driver we called in a couple of weeks ago and he is trying to fight it. I think he's ridiculous for trying. There was another witness that called him in as well. Three against one is not a good ratio to fight. The day it goes to court is May 24th. I am due June 2nd and the doctor was talking about perhaps starting my labor a week early (May 26). Only time will tell when this baby is coming.

Sara is talking all the time. Her new thing is to call everyone "hun." We often get tapped on the shoulder with a, "hey, hun!" Then, dragged to see what she's interested in. She now asks to watch shows by the character in them. Her favorites are Diego and Pingu. It use to be Animals and Penguin! She's a handful. Every time we turn around there is another mess.

We went to baby animal days at the historical farm for Easter. She wasn't afraid of any of the animals. The ducklings were her favorite. She held them very gently and only made one of them squeak. She liked the rabbits and the turtles as well. For some reason the baby chicks were not as fun as the chickens or ducklings. She got to pet the calves and ride the pony. The train was a must for her. She kept yelling out, "choo choo!" By the time we were done, I was sun burnt and she was passed out on the ride home. Art said it was very enjoyable up until she was ready for a nap.

We're celebrating our 3 year anniversary tonight. I can't believe it's been that long and yet, of course, it feels like there was nothing before that day. I'm so grateful for such a loving husband and companion through these crazy times. He is amazing and continues to amaze me. Even when I don't feel I can talk to him, we get through it and he isn't even upset! I've definitely learned a lot through these years. I am looking forward to many, many more!

I will post pictures of baby animal days, but at this time I am not able to. Hopefully tonight though. We got some great pictures!
