Finally Home

Wow. After ten days we are happy to be home. Jennifer's wedding was great and then we went to Murfreesboro. The kids had a great time and enjoyed their new Christmas presents. Gabe was so excited about his pirate costume from Santa, he wore it for two days straight. Both kids loved playing with Mom's new dog Charlie. He is super cute and small enough for the kids to grab. We decided to drive home and ended up making a sixteen hour trip. Shelby was difficult in the car to say the least and we had to keep stopping. I guess she is not a professional traveler like Gabe. He was wonderful and never complained. We got home at 4 a.m. Sunday and have been taking it easy. Gabe does not have school this week so I am hoping to get him out of the house to see some of his play group friends. The weather is beautiful here so I am sure we will be spending some time outside. And we have no big plans for New Year's Eve. Just hang with the kids and probably fall asleep before midnight. Hope everyone has a great New Year's.

Getting Ready For Our Big Trip

We are leaving Thursday morning for our Christmas vacation. Our ride to the airport is picking us up at 4:30 am-YIKES. I hope the kids cooperate on the 3 hour plane ride. We will be in VA for the weekend celebrating Jennifer's wedding. Then on Sunday we have an eleven hour drive to Murfreesboro. We may have to break that up into Sunday and Monday, it just depends on the kids (and how comfortable I am). We'll be in TN for the week and come home Monday the 29th. We are very excited to see both sides of our families this year. I know the kids are going to have a blast and I can't wait to see them all dressed up for the wedding. Gabe has asked Santa for a Pirate Costume, so we'll see if he can pull that off. We celebrated our family Christmas this past weekend and the kids were so cute opening everything. It will be great to see them on Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

It's A Boy

I had another ultrasound today and we are having a boy. We are very happy. I am so glad to have one of each and know that Jonah Collin will be a joy to us like Gabe and Shelby. Just wanted to update everyone :)

Thanksgiving and Our New Place

Well we had a very interesting week. First we moved to another apartment because we had a rat in our other place. This occurred when we first moved here too but the manager then would not let us out of our lease. But I guess when dealing with an irrate pregnant woman, the new manager was happy to oblige us. But I did threaten to call the health department and news stations. So, we moved most things the Sunday before Thanksgiving and then throught the week Jeremy went back over there to bring the rest. My Dad visited for the holiday and we had a great time. Gabe came down with an outer ear infection, inner ear infection (one in each ear) and strept throat. So he was grumpy most of the week, but finally came around on Thanksgiving Day. I cooked my first ever holiday meal and have to say I was impressed with myself ( I was extremely worried about how it would all turn out. Although I did forget to cook a few things, everything I did make was really yummy. We love our new place and the kids have had a great time going through the boxes with me and playing with old toys (and beads).
