Calvin Basketball...and Baby News

It's that time of year again...basketball season!!  Which means Grandpa and Grandma Holleboom are in town quite often :)  Yesterday we went to our first game of the season.  Uncle Dan, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Sara and Carson came too.

Rebecca and Carson now have matching Calvin jerseys.  They could be twins!  And they had so much fun together.  Grandma even bought them matching Cavlin hats (didn't get a picture of those...maybe next time).  They sat nicely together for part of the game, looking for the big Knight and sharing popcorn.  When they got restless they ran around the fieldhouse a bit.  They hardly stop to catch their breath because they each want to keep up with the other.  Unfortunately Calvin couldn't quite manage the win.  But we still had a lot of fun.

After the game we all came back to our house for dinner and visiting.  We had a yummy taco dinner.  Rebecca and Carson actually both ate quite well...must be all the running.  Once they were done eating they played and played and played.  They "baked" and "cooked", played in Rebecca's castle, danced, ran, jumped, played instruments and laughed a lot.  Watching them together is like watching Thing 1 and Thing 2 :)  Lots of bumps, jumps and kicks.  We were sad to see them go at the end of the evening, but I think both kids were completely worn out.  Rebecca is already so anxious for Carson to come back and play.  She thought he might come back to go to church with us today :P  Hopefully we'll see them again in 2 weeks for the next home game.

Rebecca is now officially in a regular bed instead of a crib.  She made the transition fairly smoothly.  Only a few nights of being overly excited and having a hard time falling asleep.  Pretty soon she'll be moving to her new room, and we'll be turning the nursery back into a nursery.

In baby news, we just confirmed our c-section date (literally opened the letter while typing this post :) - May 9, 2011.  Monday morning bright and early the day after Mother's Day. 17 weeks from tomorrow.  We are already so anxious to meet this little one.  He/she is growing well and letting Mommy (and Daddy and Rebecca) know he/she is here.  Lots of kicks and belly bouncing.  Mary's next check up is Jan. 19.  Hopefully she'll pass the glucose test with flying colors :)
