Snow Kids!

 

FINALLY, we got our first snowstorm of the season!  The kids were thrilled!  After a slow and long drive from work to pick up the kids and then home.... the kids were begging to go out and play in the snow.  So at 4:45 pm, I bundled them up so they could enjoy the snow!  They had a blast!  Of course, they are hoping we get even more snow before winter is over!  The joy of being a kid!

Winter Break

Winter break is coming to an end.  I greatly enjoyed the 2 weeks home with the kids.  But it's back to school tomorrow.  Honestly, I know tomorrow is going to be a hard day, mostly in the morning.  Miles is never happy to get back into the routine after enjoying time at home.  And Sarah, as much as she misses her friends, also loves being able to stay up late and sleep late in the mornings.  Knowing all this, I'm mentally prepared for a rough Monday morning.

I'm now in week 16 and I had a doctor appointment the other day.  The baby's heart rate was good.  We go for the ultrasound and can find out the gender of the baby next month.  I can't wait!

Happy New Year!!!

Goodbye 2011!  Throughout the year, we've experienced many highs and lows.  We are very thankful for all the wonderful fun happy times that we had the opportunity to experience....  The kids First Cubs game, Sarah's special night out in Chicago where we took her to Gino's and then to see the play Peter Pan, Our First Family Vacation to Disney World, Learning that we'll be adding a 3rd baby to our family in June 2012, and there are many more wonderful memories that we shared!  These were just a few that really stood out in my mind.  We are, of course, very thankful that we are healthy and happy!!!  I'm hopeful that we'll have an even better 2012, especially with the baby to arrive in June!!!

New and Fresh Start

So.... I've decided to try this blogging thing.  I've decided to use Facebook much less in the new year and instead simply post all the happy news I want to share here.  I hope blogging isn't too difficult!
