Mommy and Daddy at work

Here is Mommy standing in front of a pumping station that is undergoing start-up and commissioning. (Nice vest!)
Here is Daddy standing near the 888 crane.
I usually fill the blog with posts and pictures about my sweet baby boy, but today with one week to go until Lil Bit's birth I thought I'd show mommy and daddy at work and tell him what we do all day. We both work for the power company on an environmental construction project. Daddy is a controls specialist and works on the administrative side of the project with contracts, budgets, etc. Mommy is a construction discipline lead and supervises work in the field on the mechanical components. It has been a long hot summer. I am fortunate to have a great group of guys working for me to check on work in the field when I am in meetings or there was triple digit heat index. I have been involved as much as I can, but I know it makes people (including myself) nervous when a very pregnant lady is walking around a job site. Safety is very important at work, so mommy is always careful and has not tripped and fallen down or overheated.

One time when I was driving Joshua to day care he asked "Where's Daddy?" At the time we were on Hwy 90 crossing the bay so I pointed across the water to the power plant and said "Daddy's at work. He works at the power plant." Joshua misunderstood and said "Daddy's in the water?" I never have been able to get him to understand this so whenever we cross the bridge and Daddy's not in the car, Joshua will say "Daddy's in the water." I'm not sure what Joshua thinks I do all day. He usually doesn't respond when I ask him, though one time he said I watch Barney. Rest assured young man, I do not watch Barney unless I'm watching it with you. Maybe one day when Joshua and his brother are bigger we will take them to work and show them a construction site. If they aren't impressed with the project, they'll at least be impressed with the large equipment (cranes, backhoes, forklifts, etc.).
