Pecan Picking and Puppies

I had my second of 8 weekly ultrasounds today. Kayleigh looked great again. She didn't want to do things on the doctor's (or my) timeline but she finally did all the things on their checklist- she didn't feel like any practice breaths until 45 minutes into u/s. Her blood flow in her brain and fluid levels were good- the main things they're checking. hopefully next week she'll cooperate sooner :)

The boys enjoyed their time while I was at the doctor. Leon came over; T napped the whole time again. K and C had a good time visiting and eating. I hear that K somehow tricked C into giving him some of his treats from Leon. After a short nap for C and a little quiet time for K, we headed to Walmart to return the heater that I bought. Then off to pick pecans and see puppies out in the country. We got to see lots of cows, horses, and sheep along the way which made for a good drive. The family is so nice. They invited us in to see the 3 week old German Shepherd puppies. T thought about climbing in the kiddie pool with the 10 puppies but settled for petting the puppies I held. His big brothers weren't so sure but K did hold a couple puppies in his lap and C nervously pet them. They were so sweet. I left my camera in the car so we will definitely have to make another trip!

The boys had a good time picking pecans. C held the bucket while T filled it up. K picked his up all by himself. Next time Becky said she'll show the boys the chickens and horses- how fun! Once T filled his bucket, he was ready to go. C is still learning what it means to wait and didn't quite get that we don't have a nutcracker so we can't eat the nuts. He managed to get one half eaten with his teeth! You can't tell from this picture but T was doing a happy dance he was having such a good time helping pick pecans.
