Well, for those that don't know, Anne started with some regular contractions yesterday. She went to the hospital and ended up dialating to 1.5 cm in a couple of hours and then was sent home to wait. The contractions didn't stop so Dad and I came over here. I will stay when he drives home today. Our bet is that Andrew will arrive in the next couple of days...but who knows. Anyhow, I will be here to entertain Anne and hopefully keep her spirits up. It reminds me of several of my labors!

Grandma will probably move back into the family adult home this week...I think by Tuesday or Wednesday if all goes smoothly. I hope she'll be happier there. Her medication is helping her be more calm and in better spirits but she keeps complaining of boredom. Since she has gotten to the point of not being able to crochet (she says she isn't interested in it anymore but I think she just can't figure out what to do), she really does nothing but sit all day. Without being mobile...and enjoying reading or anything, I'm not sure anything is going to change on that front in moving to Maria's house but hopefully she'll feel more at home there.

We had a nice Saturday with an outing to Yale Lake for swimming with Brooke and the girls and David and Adina and kids. I'm going to have two very tan daughters-in-law at the reunion! We then came back to the house, scrounged for dinner and then played Settlers of Catan until late. Brooke with church at 8 am left early and relinquished her position to Dad who then ended up winning the game!

Not much else going on...just keep praying that active labor will start so we can get Peter, Anne and Andrew at the reunion... and that all will go smoothly!

Love,

Mom
