Hello Blog World!

Ok. It has been a long time since I posted. I am not able to sleep right now, so I thought I would take advantage of this time and greet my readers (or lack there of) again.

Since Sep.24th...

1. We moved. We have moved closer to work (yea!) and have been there for about a month. Given the fact that I am much like an elephant (fat and slow)...We are still unpacking. The painter is still painting and finally beginning the BOYS' room.

2.THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Yes, Michael and I are welcoming 2 little boys into the world Feb. 28th or before. They are very active. The 8'o clock hour is right baby's favorite time to exercise. He is a gymnast doing lots of somersaults. He even does the wave. Not sure how he does it, but my stomach looks wavy. Quiet one is not as active, but just when I begin to worry he makes his presence know. We have lots of appts. all the time. So far so good.

3. Full speed ahead. Still working full time. I have had to cut back on my dancing moves-I just can't robot like I used to. The kids are very sweet and compare me to the old lady (You know the one that gets fatter and fatter-"Just like you!" they say.) or now it is Santa Clause. I am super super busy there. The work load is always overwhelming plus I am writing 14 weeks of lesson plans and doing the prep. If you don't teach Early Childhood, you don't have the joys of prep work. I have 4 weeks down and lots to go...

4. Good-bye sweet car. Hello Mommy car.
We are saying goodbye to my Jetta and hello to the SUV. I like the SUV, but nothing will ever be as precious as my first new car-Little Jetta. I love the VW world.

5. Finally registered. When we went to Ft. Worth for the holiday, we went to Babies R Us. (Our town does not have any baby store other than Target and Walmart.) Where I thought this would be lots of fun like Wedding Registry was 5 years ago, it was not. I had the Baby Bargains book in tow, all my notes from my mommy friends, their suggestion list, and a store full of foreign material. Double the kid, double the confusion. Michael and I realized we are way out of our league. Don't even get me started on the breast feeding section...

6. Growing Each Day
My belly sticks out more and more. Sorry...I will not be posting pictures of this on the web. If you would like to see how fat and fabulous I look, come and see me. But, I am not inviting the world to witness my uncomfortable state. Let's just say I do not look like the prego moms in the catalogues. I will say my feet are still nice and trim for now. Whoooh. That is one of my biggest fears. I can not say goodbye to my shoes. I have had to leave them on the shelf and my new friends with flats, but I see them everyday and look forward to our sweet reunion.

I have found the camera and the cord now. However, the batteries are now dead. So house pics later. Maybe.

It is hard to take time to post because I am never on the home computer for fun. I will try to be better about it.

Thanks for asking and thinking about us. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers and have been very blessed.

Hope the Thanksgiving Holidays were special for you and your family. Ours were and we even had snow!

YAY! Boys will be so fun! :)
I totally understand most of your comments about getting fat and slow. I also have become friends with my flats. Someday I will wear cute shoes with heels again. I agree about Babies R US--it is overwhelming. What stroller did you end up with? I am excited to hear their names and see their precious pictures. I am so glad your dr. appts have been so great!
I can't believe you are writing 14 weeks of lesson plans. That is so much, I understand how time consuming that can be being a kinder teacher for 3 years! WOW! I am impressed. Congrats on the new house, can't wait to see pics.

I agree with Mauri. You are so cute and fashionable and little everywhere except for your for your pregnant belly which is also adorable. I'll be excited to see how you do the boys' room. The rest of the house is so cute and looking great! I'm glad you updated with all your news.
