So excited I blogged it twice!

She is a cutie though. The latest from Brent and Tonis is that she will probably be named 'Grace' which is a beautiful name. Grace was something my dad thought a lot about in his last months, so is special that way, and her Chinese names are Shue Ting, one of which means 'Grace'. So, the omens seem to be there (I can't remember what the other name means and my only excuse is that it is almost 3:00 in the morning).

I took the kids to the Forks today and we saw "Cirkus Inferno". Connor and Aidan got a big kick out of it and Delaney kept asking me questions: What is that? Why are they doing that? Is it going to explode? She seemed worried about it all. I kept telling her I didn't know what would happen next and that was the fun of it, and finally she seemed to relax and get into it. At the end a huge whoopie cushion explodes and bits of paper are showered over the audience (Delaney liked that). We were in the second row so all had paper in our clothes for a while. The clowns were selling and autographing whoopie cushions at the end and both Connor and Delaney got one. They had a great time with them, setting letting the air out all over as we wandered the shops. When Sean picked us up (we'd taken the bus down and got a ride home with him) they had a great time exploding them in the back seat before he figured out what they had. Connor eventually tried to jump on his and it exploded, but Delaney's is still "tooting" as she says. Funny how much enjoyment they can get out of something so silly!

I couldn't get to sleep tonight. Worried about going away, Sean and the kids managing for a week (I know they can but I'm feeling guilty) and the Hamilton O'Haras. Grandad is in the hospital and is getting a little stronger. He is having a hard time with his appetite and is really exhausted so they put him on an IV. Keep him in your prayers.

To put myself to sleep I decided I'd get up and do some of the work I need to do for tomorrow. It's year-end at work and I needed to get my statistics done before I go away for a week in case my boss needs them. No matter how I try to keep track through the year, it is always messed up when I have to compile it for my supervisor. And this is the third time I've figured it out this year! Good thing I'm not the accountant in the family... Anyways, it's done and I just have to e-mail it in the morning. I didn't really want my boss to get an e-mail sent at 3:00 a.m. on April Fools day with my statistics!

Keep well while I'm away! Must get to sleep - kids will be up early(ish).
