Things have settled down a little, after all our traveling. I'm now at 35 weeks and expecting an end-of-June delivery. Brian's students finish school on the 18th, and my mom will be here the 20th. I need to get busy with a playmat and cribskirt. We also need to stock up on diapers, but are trying to remember if Jack wore preemie size, or just went straight to newborns. We're assuming baby Kate will be just as skinny!
We spent the day yesterday in the Carson Valley of Nevada, where Brian had an eye doctor's appointment and we both toughed it out at the dentist. In between appointments, we caught a matinee of the new "Night at the Museum," the first time the three of us had been to a movie together since the last "Night at the Museum." Jack was three months old the first time. I remember it distinctly because I had to change his diaper halfway through the movie, and looking up at me from the changing table there in the movie theater bathroom, he laughed for the first time. What a moment!
Brian's applied for three open vice principal positions in Las Cruces, but hasn't heard back anything. We've tried not to get our hopes up, and every day without a phone call brings us more back down to earth. My poor sister Val's been laid off in Texas, which also looks like a door into the perfect opportunity for her to move to Cruces, thereby partially fulfilling our dream to live in the same town again someday. Someday! We know there's a plan for us.

It's like West Side Story. "There's a place for us..."
..."Somewhere a place for us..." Just had to finish it off. :) Hope you year back, but remember, where one door closes another opens. You know there is something GRAND waiting for you guys out there. Don't fight with time. You won't win.
