Catching up

The past few months are a blur. Our biggest news this winter is that we're expecting our 3rd child at the end of the summer. For the past 2 months I mostly have watched the boys play as I lay around trying to feel better. This time around the morning sickness has been more like month long sickness that lasts all day. After trying my second medication, today is the best I've felt in a long time. It has actually worked out nice that it is too cold to get outside and run around. The boys are content to play indoors, have a few playdates, and visit the library. I am thankful they have each other to play and stay entertained.

We were able to get away in early February and visit Tad's family in Kansas City. It was a great time, even though I wasn't feeling like myself. It is always good to see everyone and the boys loved playing with their cousins, aunts & uncles, meme and papa. We took the boys bowling for the first time with Conrad and Caden and they loved it.



We went to T-Rex with Jacob and Austin and made 2 dinosaurs Dale and Sun (Thank you Uncle Clark and Aunt Stephanie) and dug for dinosaur bones. They sleep with their new dinosaurs every night now






We ate out at some fun places, especially Fritz's.



We got introduced to Rock Band and had a fun time playing that with Clark and Stephanie. I would actually love to get that for our house. The boys even joined in with their instruments.



Last week we got over to Leslie's house and saw her family plus Julie and the girls from Nashville. It was so much fun to get all the kids together. I love watching the girls and their dress up fun. The boys were the "dragons" that chased the princesses around the house. I wish I had felt better to stay longer and also to take pictures but we are still glad we were able to see everyone.

Now we have to get busy on things around the house. I have totally let everything go these past few months. We need to start working on the kids rooms. I will change the boys room into something older for them and pull the nursery bedding next door for the baby. It is gender neutral but we're sure it will be another boy so I'm not going to invest in anything new. Once the weather breaks there will be lots to do in the yard so we're trying to get focused and start indoors while it is still cold. I have plans to get the nasty wallpaper down in our bathroom and paint it. Plus we also need to give our guest room and bath a makeover - much needed since we bought this place. We had a guy come and bid on finishing off our basement. We think the extra room for the boys toys and chaos is probably a good thing when the baby comes.

That's a quick catch up on things here.
