A Backyard

I had a Dr. appointment early this morning right after I dropped the kids off at school. Things are going well. I actually scheduled an induction for May 18th! We'll see how I'm doing by then, but if all goes according to plan it will work out nicely with Brad's schedule to have the baby that day. I can't believe that's only about three weeks away!
After the appointment I took Ryder to Target as has become our tradition. He spent almost an hour in the toy section just playing with toys. He had a lot of fun. And I was just ready to come home and take a nap!

While I made dinner tonight all three kids played in the backyard together listening to music, kicking the soccer ball around, and throwing frisbees. I can't tell you how long I've been wanting a yard right off the kitchen so I could send the kids out to play while I make dinner and still be able to see them. And it's been forever since we have a yard safe enough (no rattlesnakes) and big enough (our yard in Indiana was tiny) to play in. It is heaven having this yard! And having kids that enjoy being back there and playing together. And finally having nice enough weather to enjoy it. It all made me so happy.
