The Latest Happenings...

So for those of you who read this blog and don't have facebook accounts or who I don't regularly email, you may be wondering the latest in the Rhodes of Life....

-Kyle is busy getting his law practice more functional for the needs that he sees are growing the longer he is in business. The two biggest projects he is working on currently are a website where you can make your own will if you are a Texas resident, and a phone answering service to help him schedule appointments. He plans on trying to work from home for the first week or so after Kent arrives, and having these things in place is going to help him tremendously.

-On a funny note....we had a bad thunderstorm last night with tornado warnings throughout the area. Our dog Pepper absolutely hates thunderstorms. We refer to him as a "nervous nelly" dog or "scaredy dog" when he starts shaking & whining. It actually gets to be pretty annoying if the storm lasts a long time. Well, last night he was trying to jump up on everything (I guess he didn't think the ground was very safe). He followed me into our master bathroom where I was getting ready to use the restroom. Before I had a chance to stop him, Pepper had jumped up on the toilet & fell in, splashing toilet water everywhere! Thankfully the toilet was flushed, but I was still grossed out at the fact that the dog had jumped in the toilet and now had toilet water germs all over half of his body! When Pepper is dirty & is in need of a bath, Kyle & I call him "Pepper the Leper" until he gets a bath. I type this entry tonight after Pepper has had a fresh bath & is leper-free (probably his last bath for a while).

-What about the pregnancy/baby news? At my doctor's appointment today, she officially scheduled me to be induced NEXT FRIDAY....WOOHOO! (that's June 19, which has been Kyle's prediction all along!). He is measuring big, and my doctor felt more comfortable inducing me at 39 weeks, which I'm totally fine with at this point. She reassured me that from what she can tell, he is ready to come out. So, unless Kent decides to come on his own between now & then, we will officially have a bundle of joy next Friday. We can't wait! So please keep us in your prayers between now & then. And definitely be on the lookout for pictures!

Where will God lead us on this new & exciting path in life as parents? Keep reading the Rhodes of Life to find out.....God bless!
