Micah's 1st Day of Grade Three

Grade Three - how can that be? This is Micah's last year in his current school.

He is growing up so fast.

In his classroom:

Happy Birthday Mom!!

It was a lovely day yesterday and a great day to be outside.We had my parents over for a BBQ to celebrate my Mom's birthday. (Heidi & Tim & family weren't able to come for dinner but came at 6pm for cake & a good game of Bocce ball) We haven't had real nice weather this year.( I understand that BC is the only province that has had nice weather) But we were able to spend the whole day outside, eating and playing games. It was a lot of fun.

The last picture we have with Mom & Dad and all the grandkids is when Jaken was born so we thought it was time for another one. Next year we will have more babies to add.

(I think Katelynn looks just like Heidi at that age)

I have added the picture below just to show you(Jen & Laurie) the set that my Mom bought for us. It is so nice to have. We hope we can use it a few more times before fall sets in.

Mom is off to Australia in a week for World's Championship (karate). She has been training really hard all summer. We wish you well Mom & have a great birthday!!

August

I haven't been updating the blog lately. For one thing, we haven't even taken any pictures this entire month. But i thought I should give you an update anyway.

The summer has gone by quickly for us and this week we are trying to get back into school routine by doing chores & going to bed earlier etc. In one week, Micah will be at school, in grade 3. He is ready to go back. He is starting to look for things to do and seems bored.

Simon will be starting kindergarten next Tuesday. I'm not sure what he thinks of it. He won't say a thing about when he is asked. I fear that he is going to go to school in his pj's too.

Calleigh will have the house & toys to herself while the boys are at school. No fighting over the toys.

I will enjoy the quiet for awhile.

I had an ultrasound on the 13th & we found out that we are having twins. I have felt really good this pregnancy (except really tired) and the last 2 weeks, I have felt great. I felt too good to be pregnant. I shampooed all the carpets, made casseroles & soups and have been deep cleaning the entire house on my 10 days off. I went back to work on Thursday and now it is all catching up to me. I did not feel well at all yesterday. I was so exhausted, I could not keep my eyes open and I seem to feel nauseated all the time now (not good when I work at a nursing home).

I am anxious for my Dr appointment on the 31st. I have so many questions.

Hope you have all had a good summer and are ready to be "back into routine".

I need a nap....again.

From Me to You-Edited Version

Dear Friends,

We do not have a faces to see,

Or put inside a frame.

We do not have soft cheeks to kiss.

We don't yet have a name.

Not yet can you hold our tiny hands,

Nor whisper in our ears.

It's still too soon to sing a song,

Or cuddle us so near.

But all that will change come January
When they say we are due.

We are your newest friends;

And we can't wait until we meet you!

All we ask between now and then

Is your love for us to grow.

We promise we'll be worth the wait;

Just think of all the joy we'll know!

So as you're waiting patiently,

Please pray lots of prayers for us.

I cannot wait to be a part

Of this wonderful family!

Love Baby Hildebrandt #4 and #5
