To arms! To arms!
The Stewart house has been under attack. We usually have the occasional ant invasion but the last couple of days have been ridiculous. The ants are everywhere. Mom spent pretty much all today just fighting ants. We think the problem is that Mom sprayed around outside the entire house and now all of the ants are trapped in the house and have no choice but to come out into the open. We are all going a little crazy.
The other thing increasing our craziness is the late arrival of baby girl Stewart. We are accustomed to the grandbabies coming early so we have been eagerly awaiting the baby's arrival since early last week. Now that we are several days past the due date we are going a little crazy. The phone rang tonight and Dad said, "Maybe Chelsea's having the baby." Anyone who knows Dad knows how unusual it is for him to even notice the phone is ringing, let alone want to answer it. Chelsea is handling the delay the best out of any of us. We went to the movies and out to eat on Saturday and she was still comfortable. Brandon even got her to go to an Angels game tonight. I think he was just hoping the baby would be born at the stadium and he would get permanent season tickets.
The other crazy thing is that we have been getting use to Ryan crutching and wheeling around the house. Most of you probably know, but Ryan was in a pretty severe biking accident last month and had surgery on his shattered tibia. Mom and Dad were up in Utah with him for awhile and then brought him to recuperate for about a week. It has been good to have him home for a bit. We have had some fun giving him a hard time. Brandon has been calling him "Tiny Tim" and Mom and I had fun getting him to open and shut her bedroom door over and over while we rested comfortably on her bed. He's been a really good sport and I will miss him a lot when he goes back to school on Wednesday.
Here are some pictures of his gnarly staples:
The yellow on Ryan's leg is actually bruising. He won't be able to put any weight on his leg for 3 months, so next semester should be pretty interesting for him. Especially since he lives in a 3 story condo.
I'll try to post some pictures of the baby once she finally comes.

Ahhh! Those staples make me sick! Good luck with the ants. Have you tried those little bait houses? They worked well for us but you can't kill them. You have to let them take the bait back to the colony. Its irritating but worth it.
Don't worry tomorrow's the day! We'll call you guys and keep you updated on the progress. And you can come down to the hospital whenever you want. You may want to come down after she's here so you don't have to just sit around in the waiting room. Hopefully you don't have to work right when she comes! Too bad Ryan couldn't have stayed another week to see the baby. How is he going to live in a 3-story condo?? Hopefully there is an elevator...? Well see you soon... and so will baby girl stewart!
