Anniversary Dinner

Rob and I celebrated being married 13 years this week!  I feel so blessed to be married to someone who encourages me to see the best in things and remember my blessings. :)

The kids made us dinner.  Here is their meal plan:

The unlabeled "brown things" are BBQ chicken legs!

Annalise is very into checklists.  She likes to have things to cross or check off.  The kids get a work checklist for independent schoolwork and it's important to her to do them in the exact order I list them!

Yes, they are using steak knives and a can opener!

My neighbor had a very bad cut on a can not long ago, so we try to be very careful with the can opener.  I have them cut things to help with dinner often.  So far they've not cut themselves.  I try to only give them things that cut without using a lot of force (no carrots, for example).

Salad!

The result:

I am 26 weeks pregnant this weekend.  I failed the 1 hour glucose screening, not by much, but I have to go back for the 3 hour test.  I also am still measuring behind by about 2 weeks, so I have to have a follow up ultrasound this week too.  I measured "small for dates" with both A & N, I'm hoping it's just a girl thing!  Little girl has been kicking like crazy.  I've finally started feeling her in the middle of my belly.  Sometimes we see it jerk to the side :)  The kids all want to feel her move, but so far only Caleb has had the right timing.
