New edition. Not just a group any more.

We found out on our 7th anniversary that I am pregnant. Lauren is over-the-moon excited about it and when we went to the dr. earlier in the week, she was sure that was the day the baby would be coming home. Thank goodness it wasn't. We are so not even close to ready for a newborn in this house. I am due in early December.
Must start Christmas shopping now...

Long time, no post

Things have gotten busy in a good way around here, so sorry for the lack of posts. Easter was great and Lauren got more candy than even a good candy has on hand and she is trying to eat it all before I decided enough is enough and get rid of it. She has a while. John and I are being very good to not eat it, but it's hard. Joining the YMCA has helped both of us try to live a bit healthier.
Today is John's 30th birthday. I remember when he turned 18. He loved his birthday gift. He and a friend are going to Huntsville, AL to Space Camp (http://www.spacecamp.com) for a weekend in Sept. I think he is very excited!

Ah, the festivities are winding down...

Though today is our 7th wedding anniversary and John's birthday is fast approaching (he'll be 30!), the parties at our house are over. They were so much fun, starting with a family party, then we took her to Chuck E Cheese which is now requested daily and then she had her friend party. That's a lot of parties and a lot of thank you notes. Not to mention a lot of cool new toys. Thanks to all of you who read this and learn about our girl and our family.

More later...

And so it goes

We haven't slowed down yet and for the foreseeable future, slow is not on the horizon. Here's the breakdown:
This weekend: Friends in town until Monday, and they would like to go to the zoo, mall, and to Pump It Up, Sunday is the family birthday party, Tuesday is her birthday and we will be going to Chuck E Cheese's, Wednesday we have an appt., Thursday is her friend birthday party, Friday we have our class and are then leaving for the weekend to see a friend from WAY out of state, but are staying with our friend who will be with us this weekend. We will come back that Sunday, stopping by the outlet malls on the way home and the next day is our 7 yr. anniversary. Whew!! Plus, John is working and I have been also, so I am off to clean the house with help from an ever growing kid.

Let me tell you about busy!!!

Over the last few weeks, busy is not even adequate to describe what's been going on here. I know I said we were going to slow down, but so far, it's not been possible. Between loan closings, dockings, insurance training, my birthday and planning for Lauren's, it's been BUSY!
Everything here is great, Lauren is SO ready for her birthday, Libby is loving Lauren growing up and wanting to play with her and I am tired.
John and I are doing great, and for my birthday I asked for a memebership to the YMCA and we've been once since Sunday and I got to exercise for 11 minutes before the child watch worker came to track me down since Lauren was crying and they couldn't calm her down. Sigh...Off to try again today. Fingers crossed for us!!

We're happy

We went to a birthday party yesterday and had a ball! She played and played and laughed and ate! I love to be with her and I cannot believe she will be three is mere days. How is she becoming a little girl and not still a baby?

One fast moving girl

Running, running, running, running!

All of the time running. With her, after her, along side her, because of her, because of me.

We go all of the time and sometimes we need to STOP. That's my plan. Slow down and enjoy time. Unless she wants to go, we're slowing down.
