You'd think that some time in the last 5 1/2 weeks of bed rest I'd have made time to post. What a slacker. Oh, well and sorry.We are doing really well. We have been so blessed and taken care of by so many wonderful people! It is so overwhelming to be the recipients of so much service, and friendship, and love! It's amazing! So, although we do pretty much the same things most days (Dane- Work, homework, classes, occasional basketball games with friends, preparing lessons for priesthood and sunday school-see pic above- and taking care of his wife; Delyse- reading, crocheting, talking on the phone, watching TV and movies, and taking bathroom breaks) here are some of the highlights of the last month.
My mom came and spent a week taking care of us, filling our freezer with meals we can pull out and heat up, visiting, and distracting me with crafts I could do while lying on my side-see above. It was so wonderful to have her company. I just love my mom!
Dia and her friend Sam drove up to Reno and stayed the night with us one Saturday so he could make a delivery for a friend. It was such a great surprise! They also gave us these super beautiful flowers! I have the best family!
Several of the young women in our ward have come over to watch movies, visit, help with cleaning, and even paint nails. This is Melissa at the top, Cyd on the left and, Markita on the right.
And these are our HOT nails!!Dane's parents came Thanksgiving night to help out. We had a great time with them and they spoiled us rotten with a new couch and TV!! My hips are so grateful (the rest of us is thankful too)! Mom stayed for a few days more after Dad had to get back to work. I had a great time getting to know her better and really enjoyed hearing all kinds of family stories.
Dyami asked for belly pic's- the only one I have is this one, it's a few weeks old, I look like a cheese ball, and the belly is bigger now but, I don't have another pic, so this will have to do. Our little girl is getting bigger and seems to kick harder every day! Dane reads to her every night and she kicks and wakes up when she hears him. One night Dad and daughter had a war tapping back and forth for several minutes. It was sooo cute!!! We're so glad she's doing so well.
Last night was our first really big snow here in Reno (we've had a few that didn't stick much before) and it's still coming down now. It makes for a nice change of scenery! This is the view out our window. Thought this would make dad jealous! Hopefully we'll have some snow when you guys come. One good thing about bed rest is I don't have to drive in the snow with all the crazy Reno drivers! smile.
Well, that's about all for now. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! (just in case I don't get another post before then)
Much Love!
