Tractor

Our generous neighbor brought this tractor over yesterday and said that they were getting rid of it and wanted to know if we wanted it before they donated it. Did we ever. Their boys are too big for it. Benjamin took one look at it and we can't get him to focus on anything else. Just when I think he has forgotten about it he says "Ride tractor Mommy?" It came with two batteries that we are having a hard time keeping charged. He is so adorable. It is fun to see him have something that he loves.

We have been busy making preparations to go to Maine. We are super excited. We finally have all the baby cloths washed and boxed. I have a boy box and girl box and a box of misc. like receiving blankets and diapers and of course the baby Bjorn that I love so much. I think that we are going to borrow my parents van for our next trip as we seem to just have a lot of stuff to take. We are planning on being there 2 weeks so we want to take some toys for Ben and a stroller etc. All requiring more room than we have in the Saturn or Truck. We are actually looking at purchasing a bigger vehicle. I (being cheap) hate the process of car shopping. We saw a Santa Fe listed on craigslist that the owner is wanting to trade for a truck. We responded....we'll see what happens. I feel so adult when I drive a van or SUV.

Early last week we thought that we might be headed to Maine the end of this week. Our attorney got right on things when he heard that the baby could be born early. As of Friday we got the Judge to sign a conditional certification. The condition is upon satisfactory return of our digital fingerprints. So long story short we are all set and settling down to wait for the baby to finish growing.

It is such an exciting time for us. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers and well wishes. We'll keep you all posted.
