UPDATE....9/20/07

We have sprinklers!!!! We dug trenches weekend before last and our system was put in by our neighbor that owns a landscape company last Friday. We covered up the trenches and moved dirt around the yard. Travis built a driveway out of roadbase along the West side on our property. I think he had a good time working in the yard since we were able to borrow a skippy loader (small version of a big loader) to move the dirt around and dig the trenches! We also now have trees to. We planted those the same weekend we dug the trenches. I tell you what though, I am starting to re-think the idea that I thought it would be fun to put in a yard!!!!! What a pain! But it will be nice once we have it finished! I think we may sod the front, sides and some of the back and then seed the rest. We are going to wait to put up our fence until Spring, and I need to call a concrete curbing company to come out and do the decorative curb. Hopefully they will be able to do it the first part of next week.

Tuesday the 18th was Abbi's one year day from when she passed away. We miss her so very much! It was a pretty emotional last few weeks leading up to that day. I think that the anticipation of the day was the hardest part than the actual day itself. Travis was able to come home and be with us on that day instead of being down in Moab or Salina and that helped. We took a dozen dark purple balloons and 1 white one to release (the white one symbolized 1 yr). I will add a white on every year because you can see the white one for alot longer period of time when released than the others. We also took up some fresh cut flowers and I took up some potted mums on Monday afternoon when I went to oil the headstone to make it look nice for if anyone went up to see her that day.

Also on Tuesday my Mom took off work because I had a Dr Appt to see if the baby had turned and no such luck. So we opted to go ahead and do the external version and have the baby turned externally. So far so good, baby Wentz is now head down (locked & loaded, LOL). I hope that I will go into labor on my own sometime the first week of October, but if not, we will still be induced on Oct 12th.

Not much else going on here though.....just anticipating the baby coming now!!!
