Family Golf

Yesterday evening we went golfing. We went with some of John's buddies (such an odd word) from work and just went to a par 3 course. This one costs $6 to play and since you have to be at least 7 to be on this course, we had to sneak Miss Fabulous on (we are bad people). It would just cost more than the golf to get a baby sitter and MF loves to be out with us. John even got her a driver and has been teaching her how to use it.
Well, I took my camera but never used it so no pictures. We saw an old WW2 plane flying around overhead and I really wish I had taken a picture of that.
I did okay. Much better than last time but maybe that's because I had no preconceived ideas about how I would do. The first time I played that course I did really well...especially since it was my first time golfing...and I even got the longest drive award. The second time I played there I thought it was easy and pretty much ended up with 9 or more on each hole (remember its a par 3!). My total this time was 64 (I have no idea what my handicap is). Still not even close to terrific but I had fun and the guys were fun to play with too. MF was good out there and stayed close to either myself or John and we just enjoyed the evening together. I did almost hit John in the head (good thing he ducked) and came close to hitting a couple of the other guys too. I guess I just need something to aim at! After golf we stopped and got tacos on the way home and stayed up late watching old Laverne and Shirley episodes. Evenings like this...I just love.

Ah Laverne and Shirley...gotta love that show. My sister has a few seasons of that on DVD and when we stayed there this summer, she and I would stay up after the kids and Dads were asleep in the tent outside (we slept inside because we have babies) and we would watch a few episodes.

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
