### Misc.

Third trimester achieved! (On the other hand...three more months. Sigh.)
Cool about the Twilight movie, Jen. Bummer about the Harry Potter one, though. Money rules, though.
I am watching three extra kids today--Jacob (5), Taylor (3), and Karlee (10 mo.). Their mom is in the hospital following having her kidney removed (cancerous) last Monday. The ward is really pulling together--we've arranged childcare for two full weeks, dinners for at least that long, and hopefully we can keep it up as long as needful. Nobody but me is watching the kids more than once during the two weeks (and I'm only doing it twice), so hopefully nobody gets burned out and we can all take another turn.
The kids are turning out to be a breeze. They are very self-entertaining, except the baby occasionally (as babies are). My children are sharing nicely, and (okay, it's only 11am, and since Camille is still in the hospital, we might have them until 7 or 8 pm (so Andy can visit his wife)) all is well.
I went to Uncle Tony Pendleton's funeral last week. I didn't know anybody except Grandma and Wendy and Dawn, but that's okay. It was a very nice funeral (as funerals go).
I'm going to buy a very very expensive stroller. Maybe. Here it is:It is almost $350, but it holds up to 100 lbs and at least three kids can fit in it (although there's only seatbelts for two. And the kids can get in and out. And I need to be able to get out of my house and take walks by the river.
And that's all. Love you all. Thinking about you, Amy, and praying.
