Hot Hot Hot!

It's been really warm here the last week. Gabe started swimming lessons on Tuesday, but we only made it to two out of four. He was sick. He started running a fever and complaining his stomach hurt. He's still running the fever, but acting more like himself. This is day 5 of the fever though, so we'll see what happens. We did take him to the doctor who said to come back Monday if the fever is still there.

Kerry and Otto went to the mountains this weekend. They're helping do some work for Grandpa. Kerry will be traveling this week to St. Louis for the church conference. Grandma and maybe Grandpa will be coming down to help me with the boys while I teach class this week. Gabe has swimming lessons again this week too.

We have been to the pool a couple times as a family. Both of the boys are doing pretty good in the water. Gabe is going under pretty well and jumping into the pool (where he can touch and if he's bribed with $1). Otto has gone under a few times too, but only for $1 :).

We're in the process of packing to move the week after Kerry comes back, so our house is in more disarray than usual. It's a lot harder to pack than it is to unpack. Anyone who'd like to help us move is welcome. :)

I'm still teaching class as well, so that's keeping me busy. I'm also gearing up to teach a few more classes online (so much for summer vacation right?). I'll be teaching two for Kaplan and two or three for Hutch. It's a nice supplement to my income throughout the year. If I could do it fulltime and stay home, I would certainly consider it believe me. Maybe it'll be a possibility next year, we'll see.

Right now our plans are to come back to Kansas around the 18th or 19th of July. I will be at a test item writing workshop for a national testing company in Kansas City on the 20th-22nd. Then we'll stay for the rest of the week and be home in time to help with sharecolorado. Hopefully we'll get some good visits in, but it will feel like a short trip I'm sure.

My next doctor appointment will be on July 14, with the "big" ultrasound. We haven't decided if we're going to tell anyone what we're having, but we're definately going to find out. It's killing us not to know! Everything is going well. I'm feeling better, but still don't have much of an appetite. I'm still having a lot of food aversions (I just don't want to eat) rather than the nausea now. I was down about 5lbs from 4 weeks ago, I've never lost weight in pregnancy. My doctor didn't seem too concerned though, we'll see what happens in the next month.

I've been working hard on our church website. If you want to check it out, it's www.thepeakchurch.com I am still adding some pages and putting some finishing touches on it, but I don't think it looks too bad since I'm not really a webmaster kind of person. It's been a steep learning curve for sure!

I hope all is going well with you. I'll try to post some pictures and more updates. We'll definately be posting pictures of our new house when we get there. Wish us luck packing! It's hard to stay motivated when it just gets messier and messier the more you do. We love you all.
