I should apologize for the lengthy update, but my baby will most likely be born by the next time I update, so I have to get all my information in on one shot while I am somewhere with high-speed internet!
The Mollotte Grandkids on Mother's Day
Mother's Day picture -- pretty sure I'm due for a hair cut & color!
Launa & her cousin, Alexa on EasterWhere to start... since I've started updating my blog every two months, I have a lot to include for the records. First of all, IT'S A GIRL!!! Most of you probably already know by now, but we are expecting a girl in <4>
Easter was kind-of a let down this year. We had an Easter egg hunt at my Aunt Mary's. We took my grandparents and Launa was a tyrant the entire way there. She kept kicking my Grandpa (who had to sit in the back with us) and yelling at him. It was embarrassing. By the time we finally got there she fell asleep and stayed asleep for the entire egg hunt. Then, on the way home she repeatedly yelled that she "wanted Papa out!" My poor 91 year old Grandpa kept asking my Grandma in the front if she'd like to switch places? Oh, the joy. In the morning she got her basket and loved the candy, but wasn't loving have to put a dress on for Easter.
We have also had some serious "Mouse-capades" these days. I caught a mouse running through our living room, woke Mark up to kill it, and he had to chase the poor mouse all over the house with a broom and a mop forever. He finally had it cornered in the bathroom, (I was laughing too hard and kept getting yelled at so I was hiding in the bedroom) was standing on a chair and all I could hear was him screaming like a girl. The mouse won. After it ran up the shower curtain and kept jumping down at him, Mark just trapped it in Launa's room and left out a mouse trap. The mouse ate the bait and didn't get caught, but we came out victoriuos the next night. :) About three days later, we caught another mice so I'm borderline mortified with the whole situation. We've got traps and poisons and mothballs and so far, the coast is clear. I'm also working on getting some cats. I hate mice and this has really lit my fire to get our house building up and going in the near future.
My parents also came home from their mission, which has been fantastic! Launa told me that "Papa Vard scary" but he's growing on her and now she loves to tease him. My Mom has already helped me rip linoleum out of the bathroom, build front steps, helped me clean out my disaster of a car, potted some flowers, and the list goes on and on. She is such a doer. Mark made sure to get her flowers for Mother's Day as he is thoroughly enjoying my being so productive these days.
