Last Weekend--Wenatchee

Last Friday, we went to my 36 week doctor visit, we asked about induction--because we're not sure if we'll have insurance in July. Well, the doctor. thought that would be fine and we now have a induction date at the hospital at 6am on June 29th! If Enoch comes earlier, we of course won't need to keep the appt. on the 29th. Also, if all of Bellingham has a baby on the 28th--the hospital may call and tell us, "come in later." We sure hope not. That evening, we went left for Wenatchee to visit Shaun's grandparents. We pulled in around 10am--and it was 75 degrees F outside. We were glad we weren't there in the HOT part of the day--which was apparently 90.Shaun wanted to record his Grandpa Weldon's life on camera. So, Shaun did--and got around 3 hours of digital footage. We also, went to lunch and to Rocky Ridge Dam with Shaun's Grandma Johnson. We had nice weather--in the high 70's by 3pm. (It had cooled off from the day before.) We came back to the Weldon household and saw a little bit of nature sitting above the door. It was a baby owl. It just sat there looking at us--a little mad, but stayed quite. It followed Shaun because he was wearing a red shirt---or because he looked most like a mouse...I'm not sure. After looking at the pictures, I saw that it appeared the owl had just killed something because it had grey feathers in his talons, and a little blood around his beak. (It was actually a very adorable owl...because he was sooooo tiny!)On Sunday, we went to church with Shaun's grandpa and heard him bear his testimony in church. It was nice to how touched he was--and I enjoyed the words he said about his wife. (Who stayed at home because she had fallen down in a grocery store the day before, and hurt her leg.)

We went home on Sunday, after church and napped in our bed in Bellingham--recovering from out lack of sleep in Wenatchee--and all the energy the sun took out of us while it made vitamin K.

We had a super weekend.

Oh, and for your viewing pleasure, here's a candid camera video of a typical breakfast prep time when we visit. (Please note that there were LOTS of flys in the house, and Grandma Weldon was trying to kill them in the background.)

Spaghetti Hot Dogs--Today's Food Art

I found this on a blog and it fascinates me!!! ....

Tell me if you've tried this before with spaghetti and hot dogs. Part of me wants to try this---the other part says the picture is good enough. But, if I had a big enough kid, I would defiantly try this with them!
This is the link to where I found this idea:

Roller-Derby Barbies!!!

I just wanted to share with you what I saw in a

B'ham downtown hair-salon window yesterday.

(On Commercial-near Holly)

It's pretty sweet! If you go on a search to find it, let me know what the name of the Salon is...the hunt is ON!

Memorial Weekend Events

Last weekend Shaun and I went to our 2.5 hour crash course in childbirth and then on a tour of the hospital---which actually took 2 whole hours! I really didn't think it would take that long. It was more than a tour---it was like another mini crash course in having a baby at the hospital. (Have you seen how funny the hospital sign is? --Well, Shaun and I think it's funny to have "shipping and receiving" next to the "childbirth center."So, by the end of the day, the having the baby felt much more real and we were excited enough to try putting the car seat in the car. We haven't got it in correctly yet since it lifts up in the front--but we got tired and quit trying. We'll get to it later--before the baby is born.

On Monday, we drove up and over to Birch Bay, WA--and enjoyed looking at the ocean from a picnic bench. Shaun and I tried to capture the moment. We've had such beautiful weather in Bellingham that I actually find myself trying to "play it cool"--so that the sun doesn't run away by getting too much attention.

We are ubber excited for "B" Day!

Oh, and Shaun is now finished working with Joes---as the Mt. Vernon Store has been completely liquidated.

Oddly, they handed Shaun COBRA paperwork when he left. Apparently, we HAVE had insurance since January and has been taking money out of Shaun's paychecks...but Joes never sent Shaun's name over to the Health Insurance--so, while they have NO record of us...Corporate has now been called by Shaun--and maybe we can get our baby medical bills paid--as well as our lab work bills--which we've been paying for out of pocket the whole time we've been pregnant. AND---maybe COBRA won't disappear too quickly--since the company will be bankrupt and the policy will be cancelled. Maybe all the court stuff needs to be finished before the Insurance Policy is cancelled.

Anyway, this is a lovely blessing.
