I tried to download some video of this but somehow I couldn't get it to work. Anyway this is Turner in the process of writing his first symphony! Oh I hope that he gets some music ability unlike his parents.

This week has been a tough one. I think that Turner is stir-crazy. It has been biterly cold outside so we haven't been out much. I understand cabin fever. My friend Shannon came up from Springville on Tuesday and we were able to time the snow so we could go to the children's museum in Ogden. It is one of Turner's and my favorite places to go. Other than that we have been inside without much to do. Oh I am sure I could find a number of things to clean but as far as exciting things, we are pretty limited. These cold days take thier toll on both of us. I know that some of you have husbands that are gone a lot more than I do but Josh is also back in school so a few nights a week he doesn't get home until late. Those days tend to be a bit long

Last week I had my glucose test and while I was waiting that hour to draw blood the Doctor came out and told me that he was bored and that he wanted to see the baby. So I got a bonus ultrasound! Dr. Farley said that he was still a boy (good to know) and that everything looked good. The little guy was being a bit shy and had his hands in front of his face. But it was certianly fun to see him. Today is 29 weeks down and 11 to go. Somedays it seems like this process is just a bit long. And that fact that I need even more water than normal and my bladder is the size of a walnut seems like a design flaw to me.

So my dear friends and family, what are some great inside ideas to help keep me sane? I would love any advice! The catch? I would especially like something that doesn't make a huge mess (bending over isn't very fun anymore) and doesn't mess up his brain (we already watch Elmo a few times a week.) And those of you who tend to have husbands gone quite a bit- what do you do to keep from feeling lonely? Please comment!
