Bella Kate Rowe

Well, we had our baby on October 5th at 12:15 P.M. She is so adorable! I feel bad because my computer has been acting up, so Boyd has had it all torn apart, and I just barely got the chance to update about the baby. I haven't figured out how to put pictures on the computer yet, but tonight I will have Boyd help me. But I wanted to let everyone know Bella is doing great. She is a very good baby so far...I know she is only 10 days old, but I am hoping her good nature stays...and she doesn't get fussy. She has tons of dark brown hair, and big dimples in her cheeks. Everyone thinks she looks like Brooke. She has been a joy, and the kids absolutely adore her. The delivery went very good, I was only in labor for 3 hours! I am so greatful that she came to us. We love her so much already!

Monday is the day!!!

Well, they have scheduled me to get started on Monday the 5th at 4:00 AM for my induction. I am very excited but nervous! I am cleaning, washing, canning, baking, everything I can so we are all ready for this baby! I haven't been sleeping a wink, so I am exhausted, but I know how tired I am after the baby is born, so I am trying to get everything ready and prepared as much as I can now. The kids are very excited and can't wait to meet their new baby sister. So we are patiently waiting Monday morning....in hopes that all will go well!

Counting down

Well I am officially full term yesterday. So the baby could technically come any day and be all right....we hope! I am getting anxious for her arrival, but don't feel prepared. I am putting it off for some reason. This week my goal is to get everything out and washed and put away. The kids are getting pretty excited. All of my kids have come a week early, but I keep telling myself not to plan on it, because she will probably come a week late! Anyway, I thought I better get a picture of myself pregnant...I usually try to avoid cameras all together, but I like to put one in their scrapbook.

Canning season!!

I have been busy canning and freezing food for the past couple of weeks. I always enjoy putting up fruits and veges for the winter, but this year is a little bit harder trying to do it 8 1/2 months pregnant. I can't believe how much harder it is. I can't lift the cases, and going up and down the stairs is horrible. But the good new is, is that I am almost done. We have done peaches, pears, raspberry jam, chicken, beef, tomatoes, salsa, grape juice, and corn. I think that is all of it. We are still planning on doing more salsa, and maybe spaghetti sauce. And whatever else we have come up! Anyway, that is what I have been busy doing every day for the past while. Fun!!!

Micah's first day of Kindergarten!!!

Well, I just took Micah to his first day of kindergarten! He looked so cute and was so excited! I was so worried that he was going to be sad and cry, but he just walked right in with his class, and did so good! I was the blubbering one! I was trying so hard not to cry, but he is still my baby! I can't believe I have 2 kids in school now. They are all growing up so fast! I am so grateful to be a mom! It is so much fun!

Megan's First Day of School!!!

Here is a picture of my beautiful Megan right before we took her to school on her first day of 2nd grade. She was so nervous she had a tummy ache the night before. She was soooo excited though. I think she will have a great year, she always does so well in school. I thought she looked so dang cute! Micah will have his first day on Thursday. We are very excited about that!

The Rowe campout!

I have been doing so bad with my blogging lately. I am really going to try and do better, I am trying to make a goal to update on Sundays, so we will see how it goes. Anyway, our summer has absolutely flown by! I can't believe that the kids start school on Monday! They are pretty excited! I am going to try and post a few things that have kept us so busy this summer. Here are some pictures from the Rowe reunion held as Heise Hot springs. It was very fun, and hot! We enjoyed the time we got to spend with family!
