Sleepy Sleepy

Last week was Ota's 89th birthday (or was it his 90th? or maybe his 98th?). He has been saying since his last birthday that he was 89 when he was only 88 and now he is saying he is 90. What is the difference anyways. It's funny. This weekend we had a gigantic sleepover up north to celebrate it. He was so very happy but I think he was a little claustraphobic one of the days and a tad crabby. Liesl and I had a great time tent camping in the garage. We told stories for bedtime which she has graduated to. She doesnt need a book or the "haammies" anymore and just listens to you and passes out. Maybe she is close to her own kind of ritual soon. We had a good time kayaking with Aunt Barb and Oma Gabi and Kaethe to the far end of the lake until Liesl had enough and wanted to turn around and go home. We had a little version of thanksgiving too. a big turkey and stuffing and some mashed potatoes (yummy) Will have to get all I can of that in with Mom, Dad, Scott and Melisa I can this month as everyone is going to Curacao this thanksgiving. The drive up to the cottage and back was pretty rough. I was so tired I was ready to throw up. I am sleeping pretty much all of the time and had to call off work yesterday because I couldnt get out of bed. This was good for the Omas and Kaethe Tante this weekend because they got some time in with Liesl and I crashed on the couch alot. I made some heavenly apple cherry crisp yesterday. Jim was very pleasantly suprised and wolfed down a lot of it. It was very tart and tasty I must admit. Ultrasound this Friday. i am nervous and excited about it. We will finally get a look at our new little baby.
