BUMP - 35 weeks

I feel like I have Frosty the Snowman's middle ;) I honestly can't believe Olivia could be here anytime within the next 5 weeks. But, if I really think about it, and look back at the nights and how hard it has become to sleep, I guess maybe I can believe it. (please disregard the toothpaste marks on the mirror-how embarassing!)
Frosty and I are twins!

It's been in the teens and low 20s here-I think Olivia enjoys a cup of decaf in a snowman mug :)


carseats and kitties

just a couple of cute pictures to show you snuggled up Clarence and the carseat strap protectors I made :)

BUMP - 34 weeks

Olivia is moving all around and giving me a run for my money. I feel uncomfortable a lot of the time, but know it could be much worse. It's crazy to think that if I went into labor at this point they would just let her enter the world. Don't do it, baby girl! Keep growing! See you in 6 weeks :)



Thankful

We had a great time for Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for. Our house was filled with Jeff's parents, my parents, Scott and Cade. The food was amazing and the company was even better. PLUS we brought out the Christmas tree and decorations, which always makes me happy! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too :)

I hope both mom's have many more pictures to send me. I can't believe I don't have any pictures of the whole family or the pretty table. It was an awesome day. Oh, and I think I only have 2 more Christmas presents to buy!!! Christmas magic :)

An open letter to the school district

 So the plan for school this year, at the K-5 level, was pretty complicated to begin. (the plan was made after lots of meeting and planning ...
