We did most of our celebrating yesterday because more things would be open (today is Sunday). Originally we had these big plans to go to a winery down south etc. etc., but when we woke up Saturday morning we opted to go out for breakfast at the Schnitz by our house and then bike the White Pine trail to Rockford and back - about 16 miles total. It was low-key and fun.
Here we are looking a little sweaty. I am wearing my "nerdy helmet", which reminds me of the half ping-pong ball Ralph the mouse wore in "The Mouse and the Motorcycle". No good excuse to throw it out.
We saw some cool native plants on the way there. There wasn't a lot to see in Rockford, but it's a cute town. We walked on the dam over the Rogue River and got ice cream, then had a late lunch and biked home.
We spent most of today holed up at home, since our next three weekends will be spent packing and moving. It's been nice.
I keep meaning to make it through the next chapter in "What to Expect When You're Expecting", but every time I sit down to read it I fall asleep. I took two naps yesterday and a big long one today, so I've been on the same chapter for three days. I haven't made it through Saturday Night Live in months.
Overall I've been feeling great, other than some leg cramps, mild heartburn, and the fact that my tummy hurts whenever we go on a long walk -- apparently it's those lower abdominals stretching with the weight of a little human being. They've got it coming: I just read that in a month my uterus will be the size of a basketball. Seriously?! I still can't get over how weird it is that he is just hanging out in there :)

Glad you had some relaxing time before all the hustle and bustle of moving. You've got lots of good folks helping you! Just remember that Jeff is probably the world' fastest yet best painter,so plan on our help in that department when you find su casa neuve (hope I said/spelled that right!)
WE think it's very cool how well you're getting "around" and enjoying the entire experience. Jono as a "dude in waiting" was pretty easy too! With the comobined DNA of you (and probably some of Mona, too!) we know he'll be a beauty. Wonder whose eyes he'll have?
love, mom and jeff
