Jack's Answer
Jack goes to a born-again Christian pre-school. I'm very happy with the teachers and the curriculum. There are a few side effects from the school though. One is Jack's answer to EVERY question is: Jesus. Here are two examples:
We're driving to the desert a few weeks ago and Jack wants to know how they make clothes. We talk about how cotton is grown and picked, but that it's full of little seeds. Then I said, "A man invented a machine that combed through the cotton and picked out the seeds so they didn't have to do it by hand anymore. Brian, do you know who invented the cotton gin?" Before Brian can answer Jack pipes up from the back, "Jesus!" Close... Eli Whitney.
The other day we were going to the library. Tristan asked who pays for the library and the other city buildings. Before I can answer... once again Jack interjects, "Jesus!" Again.. close... this time it's taxes.
It's become a running joke, although, Jack isn't in on the joke. Yesterday at church, in primary they asked a question and the answer really was Jesus. Tristan answered it instead. Amy looks over to me and says, "Where was Jack on THAT one?"

Pregnancy
Ah... the joys of being pregnant. ick. Brian pointed out the other night that I was making everyone miserable by being grumpy. Helloooo... why should only I be miserable??? He should at least have to share in that burden.
So I'm to the point that everyone asks if I'm 10 months pregnant. Uh.. no.
I am huge. My skin hurts on my stomach because it's being ripped apart from the inside. I also have trouble sleeping at night. A lot of trouble. See... when you're pregnant... towards the end, your body releases a hormone called relaxin. I'm not kidding... I'd like to personally punch whomever named it. RELAXIN? I'd have called it Annoyin. Anyway, it relaxes the ligaments in your hip joints in preparation for the glorious event. It also causes an extreme amount of pain while you're trying to sleep on your side. I can't sleep on my stomach, obviously and I can't sleep on my back because I can't breathe... there is a large elephant pushing upwards into my lung cavity. Fortunately, or unfortunately I get some measure of relief by sleeping on the couch. Full of hope I start out every night in my bed, and about 2 hours after going to sleep, end up having to sleep on the couch. Somehow Brian's not all that sad about this. Apparently sleeping next to me has lost some of it's magic when I have to flop around like a beached whale to turn over. So... I sleep on the couch... by Quick who sometimes decides that he needs to lick every part of his body during the night. Last night Anne's cat dropped the ping pong ball she was playing with off of the landing... then she meowed and came down to get it, but I was afraid it was going to be all Wild Kingdom with Quick attacking the cat, so I jumped up and chased the cat back upstairs... probably saved her life.
I have been having a fair amount of contractions, but as we all know, until they come like clockwork, they're just for practice. Whew, good thing I'm getting a lot of practice. Would REALLY hate to get there and do it wrong.

It all comes down to these two choices. You can check them out through photos and the video property tour.

For various reasons we picked house #1. We actually liked house #2 better, but house #1 had a better location, view and some amenities we decided we liked and we decided the house was a better investment.
