From My Bookshelf...
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some favorite books!  Being an avid reader I pretty much always have something checked out from the library, or an old favorite from my bookshelf, on hand.  I thought I’d share the two books I’m currently reading and maybe inspire some summer reading of your own!      If there is one genre of book I love more than any other, it’s...

Beatboxer...
                                          {Mr. Pheeny on the 4th of July} Short story for your Sunday night: Just when I thought this kid couldn’t get any funnier, he’s decided to take up beatboxing.  I think this might have stemmed from an episode of “The Electric Company” on PBS Kids (the only television shows they watch).  He started his repertoire with two words...

20 weeks...
                                                   {20 weeks + 4} Well, we made it to the halfway point.  I thought I would share a different view in this picture.  If you can overlook the bad lighting/background/weird way I’m holding my pinky fingers (what is WITH that??), you can laugh along with me at my ever-expanding bump that looks more like a beer gut in this picture.  I think...

Catching up....
        This photo pretty much captures life at the moment.   Me: a little dazed and just plain worn out, sporting a giant belly for 20 weeks.  Our new home: 10 days in and still mostly in disarray.  Paul and I keep discussing how this year, our fifth year of marriage, so closely resembles our first year together.  2007 brought a new baby, graduation from college, marriage, new state, multiple...

I’ll be visiting the blog very sporadically for a week or two more.  We’re in the middle of moving houses, which incidentally is not the most fun and takes up a lot of time.  Boo!  But hooray to new places and a new chapter of life!  We’ll still be in the same town, but a bit more spread out in a bigger, single-family house…with some outdoor space to roam about even!  ...

Welcome to the World....
                                                {Our sweet little baby} ….little GIRL!  We are over the moon excited to announce we’ll be adding a sweet baby girl to the family in December!!  I’m not even sure if my words would be coherent if I tried to explain my feelings right now.  We would have gladly welcomed any child, but are feeling especially blessed this evening...

Boy or Girl?
             {My 17 week bump.  The sweet (and still a little sleepy) big brother sitting behind me} Dear little turnip (yes, that’s how big you are this week), Tomorrow is the big day.  Your dad and I are about to split with excitement to see if the ultrasound tech we saw first guessed correctly.  Will it be big brothers’ blue clothes you’ll be sportin’ or something...
