Letter to my brother Zach on a mission in Chile:
The funniest thing just happened (this minute). Kevin has been acting so strangely lately. He is constantly attacking us and just basically been psycho- more than normal and that is saying a lot as you are well aware. Just now he was sitting on the counter staring down at the oven when all of a sudden he launched himself down and I heard a loud crash of Kevin hitting the oven. I looked over and saw KEVIN TRIUMPHANT walking around the counter toward me with a TAIL sticking out of his mouth! All I can say is it is a good thing he just caught that mouse because I was really close to gettting rid of that crazy cat. At least now he is earning his keep! The only problem is he let it go and started playing with the thing. That’s all I want is a half dead mouse hiding under the couch! Grant saved the day by coming in and picking up Kevin (mouse and all) and putting him outside with Kev growling at Grant the whole time.
Today we got our first real snowfall. The kids and Charlie went outside and rolled in the snow for a few hours. Rebecca came for a visit and as she was leaving I started throwing snowballs at her. I also lost my balance and left a very distinct mark in the snow (hand print, shoulder print, bum print leg print). I think I lost the snowball fight. Grant right now is outside shovelling snow pushing a shovel in each hand as he walks. Have I ever mentioned that he is a “Genuine Stud”?
Tomorrow is our big test. It is called and amniosentieses (SP?). They will stick a big needle about a foot long into my belly to test the baby’s genetic makeup so they can determine the baby’s blood type so we know what route to take with this pregnancy. If it has the right blood type (mine) we will have a normal pregnancy. If it has Grant’s then we will have to proceed with weekly ultrasounds and possible blood transfusions to the baby while in the womb. We will also find out if the baby is a girl or a boy. Needless to say I am really interested to find out the results. Please send a few prayers heavenward in our baby’s behalf ok?
