Well things are expected to happen tomorrow. Lexie is having contractions so things may go naturally tonight otherwise we are scheduled to have labor induced at 7:30 AM tomorrow morning. I don't think I am any less jittery about baby delivery on the fifth baby than I was on the first. It is always so nice to finally get to the point of healthy mother, healthy baby.
A quick report of happenings through the week. In general it was a pretty slow week. We have been pretty much in a hold pattern as we wait for the baby. On Monday we made it out to Rigby Lake for a quasi church activity. I call it quasi in that church activities are not supposed to be scheduled on a Monday evening We decided that it would be the most polite thing to show up so we did. As it was it was only us and another family the Nelsons. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground toys and of course playing in the water. Ty got to paddle around in a raft for a while with one of the Nelson's boys (Jacob) and was absolutely delighted with it.

We had been under the false understanding that we were going to induce labor on Saturday and so on Saturday we were all geared up to have a baby only to find out at the Doctor's office that the hospital did not have any slots for voluntary inductions over the weekend. With baby sitting already in place Lexie and I took the opportunity to ease of the let down a bit by sneaking in a quick date. We went to the county fair and then out to lunch. I think it would be fun to try and get an animal into a fair some time.
Saturday we finally got our first egg from a pullet. We have 5 hens and 6 pullets. So far the hens have been just keeping up with our egg needs. I am excited by the prospect of getting a few extra eggs. The kids were delighted with the size of the egg and extra delighted to find it had a proportionately small yoke.
A pullet egg!
My garden is doing well. I have nice little sprouts of everything I have planted. The carrots had me worried for a bit but they are finally up.
I am really pleased with my garden.
Sunday was Grandma Marler's 96th birthday. We had a simple little party at the house. A cute thing to share about Natalyn ... When my mom asked Natalyn if she would like to bake a cake with her after she (my mom) had a nap Natalyn got a huge smile and laughed "NOWAY! I want to bake a cake RIGHT NOW!". Natalyn did wait until after my mom had a nap and was a very enthusiastic helper.
Grandma cuts her cake for her 96th birthday.
Did Dallin like the ice cream or did the ice cream like Dallin?
