Josh & I picked up the boys on Saturday. We left around 4am, stopped at Denny’s for some human fuel and got to our half-way meeting point around 9:30am. We stopped at McDonalds with the boys to fuel them up on fruit & walnut salads, and then we hit the road again. We got home around 3:00pm. And the drive went smoothe. No one got car sick, very minimal whining and they really slept the majority of the way.

Josh & my brother, Justin, tore up all the carpetting when we got home. And then Sunday Josh and his dad spent the entire day putting in our new flooring, and they got all of it done. With the exception of the room seperators, and the molding. But, we have a brand new floor and it looks awesome! It makes the house look bigger. I think it’s the fact that everything just runs together. There’s no seperation between the living room floor and the kitchen floor.

The boys loved watching Poppy & Josh do the flooring. Because, you know, they’re boys and are obsessed with anything involving tools and fixing. We go into Home Depot and we spent the majority of the time answering "What’s that?" "What’s this?" to all the tools we pass.

Gabriel randomly comes up to me about 15x a day and says, "Mommy, I missed you. I glad to be home now." and gives me a big hug. <3 And this morning, he said, "Mommy, Zayer glad to be home, too." Xavier is talking a lot. It’s not really clear, but majority of the time I can make out what he says. He talks very softly and doesn’t enunciate well, yet. But for a just-turned-two-year old, his vocabulary is awesome.

I totally jinxed myself. Since Sunday I’ve been waking up pretty nausiated. I’m meeting with a midwife this afternoon. Hopefully I’ll like her, ’cause I don’t have any other options in the area.

I have a ton of errands to run this morning. I suppose I should get on that.
