Thumbs up!!! Hannah is almost here (or so we think)!

What a weekend it has been, and it's not even over!  The picture below is a celebratory shot of a SWEET mug that Peter and Caitlin sent Jonathan.  You've just gotta give a thumbs up to that.  

We remain very eager as we await Hannah's arrival, but she apparently wants a bit more time to plump up in an effort to challenge Peter's birth weight.  Sarah insists that's not a physical option.  To take our minds off of waiting for Hannah to decide she's ready to appear, we spent Friday night at the Hopkinton State Fair.  We saw countless animals, a horse pulling competition, MANY carnies, a very good hypnotist, and the bearded lady.  (Just kidding about the bearded lady.)  We think that Hannah will really enjoy going to the fair in the years ahead.  

Saturday was a very productive day around the house.  We broke up the chores / work by walking up our road to the apple orchard and buying a 1/4 peck so Sarah could make a delicious apple crisp for an afternoon snack.  The orchard is a wonderful place and we'll absolutely plan on making a trip with any willing guests.  We capped off the day by picking up a new uniform (i.e. suit and some dress shirts) for J at the outlet stores in Tilton and having dinner out at one of the happiest places on Earth (i.e. Margaritas -- many of you know it well).

We enjoyed another nice service at our new church (the First Congregational Church of Hopkinton) and we're headed up to Jim and Dayle's for a big family get-together this evening.  Jonathan plans on laboring tomorrow after having fun all weekend and hopes that Sarah soon follows suit.

For your amusement, the next picture gives you a taste of what Sarah sees when she looks down at her toes.  We understand that all of these new experiences are just the beginning of what will surely be a wild and fantastic ride.
