If I had it…
I would take a picture of the gorgeous tree down the street that I watched change color last week. It is the most earliest tree of all. I have no idea why it is already solid red because no others are. It is a brilliant fire red and I want to stare at it every time I drive down that road.
I would take a picture of Isaac riding his hand-me-down pink bike “no hands” around the circle. It’s his favorite past time as of late and he just looks so stinkin cute cruising around like a big boy when he really is just so small.
I would take a picture of the canyon where Jer and I went climbing today. The bright blue sky was accompanied by the warm sun and a cool breeze. The perfect combination for a day on the rock. I could close my eyes and feel the beauty of the mountain towering up around me. The wind would swirl around my body, cool me off and then continue up the cliffs that I wish I could scale with such ease. A picture would never capture that perfectly but maybe help me remember the feeling and beauty in the canyon today.
I would take a picture of Jeremy pulling the wickedly huge roof that I couldn’t manage to get my sorry 11 weeks and 4 day fanny over. I felt so utterly wimpy and opted out for the less-overhanging climb. I was happy to make it to the top to catch the view and feel some sense of accomplishment. I will surely feel it in my muscles tomorrow.

I love how you think you’re wimpy when you can’t climb an outward hanging crop of rock WHEN PREGNANT. I keep reading that sentence and crying with laughter. Wouldn’t it be fun to trade bodies for a week? Then you’ll really understand the meaning of the word “wimpy”.

Dangit! Ok, so I had a “feeling” when you were saying you were sick, but I must have missed the announcement!!
Congrats!

Congrats on your pregnancy! I had a feeling that’s what it was when you talked about being “sick”, but you never came out and said it
Fun, you and Jessica will have babies pretty close together!

How cool that you and your sister are both pregnant. I look forward to reading about the remainder of your pregnancies, then the labor and then looking at the pictures of the awfully cute babies you both produce. Happy and Healthy NINE MONTHS!

Alright, so I guess I never came out and said it. Ahhh, I’m pregnant!! A lot of you guessed or already knew but I felt sooo lame announcing it to the world wide web.

Congratulations! I was wondering too. When are you due?

I loved your imagery! Nice job. I’m picturing it all in my mind. Wish I was there, and yeah, please don’t use the word wimpy in the same sentence with yourself!! It just doesn’t fit.

I really wish you had your camera, too!! I especially want to see cute Mr. Isaac riding his bike! That kid is getting so grown up — crazy. I also liked the mental image from your last blog of him giving you a guided tour of the neighborhood, and the mowed status of each lawn.

Have you found your camera yet? It has been awhile since I have been blog reading and I read a comment on a friend’s blog, you probably know who I am referring to. That is awesome news!!!!
