Just and update, and some sledding

We were able to get out and take the boys sledding again. We hit the school across the street but it wasn't quite the same. The snow was pretty hard and poor Ryan had to do all of the work. He ran the boys all over the field so they could "sled"
Ryan would pull the boys to the top of the hill and after pulling them down fast he would let them go and they would take off into the field.
Gauge decided pretty quickly that he wanted to hit the playground but Paxton loved sledding!
The boys had a great time. It was nice to be out too. We haven't had any snow for a little bit and its been nice getting outside.
There isn't much happening in the Bastian household these days. I have my induction date set at the hospital for February 3rd. My last day at work is coming up too which is both heartbreaking and exciting at the same time. I love my job, especially at Provo with the girls that I work with but its so exciting to be looking towards a change. New house, new city, new baby-its all pretty overwhelming. Probably all of the biggest stresses possible, all happening at once--I'd say we are taking it quite well!
I am running out of energy, I'm going to be honest. I have turned into a sleepy head while Ryan takes care of everything else. We are making some headway in our packing and just waiting for Shelby to come so that we can start making some trips up to Idaho. Now that Ryan is finished with school here in Provo we can kind of take our time getting moved which has made things so nice! I can't help but pack things even though we don't need them packed yet so we are starting to have to do without things that maybe we could have used for a few more weeks--like the boys beds and all of our food :) I can't help it!!
So we are living it up-living on hamburgers-donuts (my recent craving) and enjoying being together just waiting for things to move along. Sorry not a whole lot to report!
I hope your all doing well. We appreciate all of the kind words, help and support that we have gotten from our friends! You guys are the best!

Your house looks beautiful! I really miss playing in the snow! I'm so excited for you and all the new and exciting changes. Can't wait for you to get your hands on that little girl, nothing more precious than a new baby!

We will never forget Shelby's b-day now. It is the day before Trevor's. Yeah we are so excited for you!
Having gone to nursing school I guess you know not to let the doctor shoot you up with Potosin while being induced. Yes it speeds up the process but it makes your contractions twice as hard, which is only fine if you are having an epidural. (I broke off my back molars trying to endure those kicked up contractions) You will do great. We are praying it will be a breeze for you.

Love your snow day pics. Lucky boys having a great dad to pull them around. Maybe you need the sled in the house so they can give you a break and pull you around.

I can't believe Shelby is almost here and you guys are moving to Idaho! I wish you the best with it all! Yo do have a lot on your plate right now. So are you going to keep your home in Provo and rent it? I can't wait to see pics of Shelby! If you need help with anything.... meals, babysitting, packing, etc. let me know. Although I'm sure you won't, just like me.
