Wow!

Read the post below and then go to the update on Shannon Cody - I am a shmuck only because I am not allowed to use stronger language on this blog! How embarrassing!

Not much news here!

I'm hugely pregnant and wildly grumpy - does anyone really want me to continue on with this blog????? I love being pregnant - feeling the baby move, growing new life - blah blah blah - I am just not a trooper - all hints of stoicism and good humor are gone -I want her out now! Call me a bad Mama, a wimp, whatever you want but 20 days seems like forever at this point. I want to stop worrying about the things that I have no control over (heart decellerations and fluid retention) and start worrying about the fun stuff - like when does Elizabeth need to eat next and where is Annie in relation to her and how do we make the big kids feel special while catering to two babies. That being said - the best things in life are worth waiting for so...................

My Dad came over to work on our tree stump but he kept getting distracted by a little itch!

I've seen the view from alot of places but my favorite is still the one from my Dad's shoulders - lucky Annie!

Banana chatting with Papa while he worked.
Winter is coming! The kids were freezing on Monday morning so I broke out the brand new hat and gloves and sent them on their way (I think Gary and Shannon's kids are still wearing shorts to school - ugg) - guess how many gloves came home in the afternoon? Two - one of each childs. Look how cute they look going off to school!

Lots to look forward to in the coming weeks - Baby Elizabeth, Auntie Beth coming home, Halloween, maternity leave - just to name a few! Not sure how much blogging I'll do and not sure if anyone wants to hear what I have to say since I'm really nasty but you've been warned!

GNM - ILY!

Low Key Weekend!

Bob and Annie took a ride up to Webster yesterday so that Grandma Betty could see her other son - Uncle Tom - for her birthday. The big kids and I went to our 1st family faith festival at church in the morning and than kind of hung out and relaxed in the afternoon. My friend Tracey invited us over for dinner and fireworks last night and what a beautiful night! The kids had a blast and fell into bed exhausted - RH outdid themselves with 20 minutes (at least) of fireworks and Tracey made a delicious meal which even the kids ate!

What a beautiful night for fireworks! The kids were so excited!
Of course, Peter does headstands when he's excited!
Susan and Brad - friends from Noah Webster enjoying the fireworks.
Annie loved the fireworks! How cute does she look in her little snowsuit?
Daddy and Annie watching the fireworks together - I got no snuggles from anyone - not fair!.
Kristin and Kevin watching the fireworks - notice the adults are all freezing while the kids could care less.
Finally the kids started getting cold but none of them put their jackets on!

The boys watching fireworks.
Pat and Tracey - our host and hostess - boy do they know how to give a party - fireworks in the backyard - I don't even think that Martha Stewart could manage that one!

Not sure what was up with Bob but he really did have fun!

Short post today because I have been having contractions all day and am a little worried that I should get some things done just in case Lizzie comes early. Everyone keeps telling me that my belly has dropped alot so maybe she is getting into position - who am I kidding right?
