A Happy new year to you and yours

There is something about New Years that I have always loved...I love that feeling of starting over, that hopefulness that comes along with the clock striking midnight. Now this year Shane and I didn't do a whole lot....I guess when you are just days away from having a baby the word party is not much in your vocabulary. We did have a great new year's none the less. It mostly involved drinking yummy hot chocolate with whip (or foop cream as Addy calls it) and sitting on the couch just enjoying each others company. And Shane and I may or may not have had our New Year's kiss while we were already half asleep in bed :)

I hope your New Year's eve was fun and safe! And I wish everyone the happiest and joyful New Year for 2012!





Tomorrow I am having a c-section and we are having this baby! So I guess the next time you hear from me will be for baby B's debut! Can't wait!!

We had a merry one

We had a great Christmas! We got spoiled, had fun, and had a lot of family time together. It may have been my favorite Christmas yet. The kids were super stoked on all their gifts....it is so much fun seeing the joy in their faces. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

January Blues

Although January is my birthday month I always forget what a complete downer this month is. Right now it is totally crappy looking outside....muddy, nasty, wet, cold. I would just be happier if it would snow snow snow and then be spring. Done and done I tell you. I am making it through by drinking lots of hot tea and spending a lot of time listening to amazing music....we now have Pandora on our blueray player and I never have known such bliss....I spent almost the entire day yesterday listening to Billie Holiday and Etta James. I did rearrange our living room this weekend and I have to say I am quite pleased with it. I am looking forward to mine and Addy's birthdays on the 27th but after that this yuckiness can just go away. Forever.
