last days

We're off to Dallas in a few hours for doctor appointments...

& Will & I won't be returning until after Ellie's birth.

We've tried to make the most of our last days at home & have spent a lot of time enjoying being a family of 3 (4).

Will has finally nearly mastered steering the new tractor his Honey & G-Dad found for him to drive. He enjoys loading up the trailer with pinecones, golf balls, & baseball gear & taking off into the sunset.

He is a very serious driver.

At one point the other day, he climbed off in a random neighbor's yard, laid down in the grass, & announced to his G-Dad, "Being a farmer is hard work!"

So true. So true.

And I'm sure his Great-Grandfathers (one a farmer & one a rancher) got a real kick out of that in Heaven!

He practiced his Michael Jordan skills with a little help from his daddy...

and in his boots

We enjoyed a day at the ballpark

where he saw his swimming teachers...

& it took him a minute to recognize Ms. Barrett with dry hair & real clothes on!

And he asked Mr. David if he was familiar with the story of "David & Goliath" - since that was about another David.

He got lots of good Daddy time

We enjoyed a children's museum with some friends

And, of course, the swimming. Our favorite activity.

(Swim videos coming soon!)

And, mommy has fallen asleep while cuddling with him every single day at naptime. I really love our cuddle time!

This morning, when I woke him up to go to therapy with his Honey while I do last minute packing, he said,

"Mommy, first let's cuddle and then we will eat breakfast."

I love my cuddler.
