Oh yeah the baby is due February 9 by the doctors guess, and by the sonnogram computer results on February 14, so I think I'm going to have it on February 13, i just have this feeling my grandfather is going to have a hand in this.

Glenn and I went and saw Joan Baez at the University of Missouri last night. She was fantastic! Her voice is amazing. She is such an inspiration to me. I can remember growing up listening to her and how much her music affected me. It was wonderful to be able to see her in concert.The boys are good. Hunter continues to be a straight A student and Dane seems to be enjoying taking gymnastics. Both are looking forward to the new addition to the family. Glenn and I continue to work hard owning our own business. Everyone told us it would be this difficult but of course we didn't believe them. The most important thing is that we are able to spend more time with our children. That makes all the struggle worth it in the end. "
