13 Memorable Facts of 2013

As I reflect on this past year, it has been filled with lots of ups & downs. I don't like to shine the light on a lot of the sad moments but unfortunately they're a big part of our lives & what form us. So without further ado...here's my list of 13 of our most memorable moments of 2013:

1. Of course my first pick has to be the day our little Levi was born. He's been such a blessing & has truly completed our family. He came into this world full of energy & hasn't disappointed in that category ever since. His pregnancy was quite difficult on me so I was beyond ecstatic when my labor only lasted 5 1/2 hours. :) I will never forget this day because it was the second time in 3 years God blessed us with a baby. Brian & I had to be at the hospital at a mere 4 a.m. to be induced and I kept joking with everyone that I would try my hardest to have him here before their lunches...and I was able to keep that promise because he was born at 10:36 a.m.

2. We spent a couple days at Lake Barkley in July. Our best friends were vacationing at a cabin on the lake & invited us down there over the weekend. It was a very last minute decision (if you know me well, that is SO not me...I'm a planner) considering they called at 8 in the morning & we were on the road by 12. We spent our first evening grabbing a bite to eat at a small, local restaurant that's known for its catfish, picking up a few groceries at the store, & getting situated in the cabin. The next day we spent on the lake in our friends' boat. After lunch & naps, the boys rode their John Deere tractors around the yard & fished with the daddies. The last day we were there consisted of us packing up & heading to Patti's Settlement. After a delicious lunch, we enjoyed the small shops around the settlement & the boys had a blast 'driving' the pirate ships. It was a very successful impromptu trip!

They melt my heart!

3. Brian & I both turned the big three-oh this year. We normally don't do much for our birthdays besides eat dinner with our parents. This year we did something a little different & got a group of friends together for dinner at Hacienda then ended the night at Sportman's bar for some more drinks. It wasn't a huge to-do but that's our style. :) Even though the night reminded us we're aren't 21 any more....we sure did make some great memories!

4. The birth of our niece, Lillian Fay, is another memorable moment in my books. My youngest sister, Erin, added to our enormous amount of nieces/nephews making it a whopping 10 now. Little Lily is the only niece from my side of the family while the other 9 come from Brian's side. The coolest part of her birth is that she arrived on 11-12-13.

5. Logan started preschool in September & that was a huge milestone for all of us. Brian & I knew we wanted him to start at age 3 instead of 4 because of his extremely shy personality so we started our search at the beginning of this year. We found out most every preschool has their annual enrollment very early in the year so we lucked out on our timing. After checking out a couple places we narrowed it down to our top 2 & finally decided on Friends Forever Preschool. It's located at CFC church; which is only minutes away from our house. We love the program & how they take every possible moment to teach the kids about God & His blessings.

 

I'm so proud of how much Logan has learned & excelled so well in the few short months he's gone to school. He comes home every time with an exciting story & something new he's either made or learned. My heart smiles to see how excited he is to go to school (which is a vast difference from the beginning of the year). I can't wait to see what the rest of his school year holds in store for him!

 

6. Brian recently made a big decision by making a change & moving to a new company within the union. This decision has weighed on him for most of 2013 & he finally bit the bullet a week ago. He'll still do the same job (insulating) but will be located at mostly local jobs. At his previous employer, he was constantly working out of town & leaving the house at very early hours. Now that we have 2 kids at home, he wants to be around more so he can be as involved as possible. Another nice perk to the job change is he'll be able to pick up the kids on the days that I work! Yeah for one less thing I have to do!! I'm very proud of Brian & this decision he's made.

 

7. Sadly, we lost my grandpa in October this year. He had been in bad health for a very long time so it's somewhat comforting to know he isn't suffering any more. My Papa was the kindest, most caring, & gentle man that walked this Earth. I've never heard him raise his voice much less a finger towards anyone. He would always tell the same old stories practically every time we were together & even though I'd heard them a thousand times before, I sure would give anything just to hear him tell those stories again! RIP Papa, I know you're flying high with the angels. :)

8. I was able to enjoy 12 weeks of maternity leave this year. This may not seem like a big deal to most people but it sure was for me. I wasn't this fortunate when we had Logan so as soon as we found out we were pregnant the planning began for us to make this happen financially. I'm oh so thankful I was able to take this time off; not only to spend the time with my boys but also to recover. As I mentioned before my pregnancy was quite difficult which led to several complications after delivery. I spent about the first 3 weeks dealing with these issues so by the time I felt 100% I was already at the half-way point in my maternity leave. Knowing Levi is our last baby made this a bittersweet time but I enjoyed every last minute & wouldn't change it for the world.

 

9.  I experienced my first college football experience ever!! We've talked about going to one for years but the timing never seemed to be right so we made it a point to happen this year. Brian's future step dad is a superb planner & he put this whole trip in motion. We spent Brian's birthday weekend in Bloomington & tailgated before the IU game.

Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers!!!

10. I experienced my first over night hospital stay (with the exception of child birth) & surgery. While pregnant with Levi, I had to take an aspirin & 2 Heparin shots daily the entire time in order to keep my body from rejecting the pregnancy. In turn, this thinned my blood tremendously. My doctor expected this & prepared for it during my delivery but I still lost a large amount of blood (over 1/2 to be exact). After being home 9 days, Brian took me to the ER due to complications but I returned home after being assured everything was ok. To my horror at 3 am, only 13 days after giving birth, I went to the restroom to notice a massive about of blood loss. With the intense pain I was in & the fact that my sight was giving out Brian packed up the kids & we headed to the ER immediately. My parents met us there along with my younger sister, Katie, & grandma. Mom headed back home with the kids while everyone else stayed not knowing what was going on. After several test, the problem has been revealed & they took me into surgery to repair it ASAP. I don't remember much after that besides waking up crying to Brian because I was so scared I was dying. Because of my enormous amount of blood loss...yet again...they kept me over night before sending me home the next morning. I've never been more scared in my life but so grateful for such awesome nurses at the Women's Hospital who took care of me!

 

11. We also had our first experience of Logan having surgery. Needless to say, 2013 wasn't very kind to us in the health department. Any way, that poor kid has always had issues with ear infections & finally after battling one for almost 10 weeks we were referred to an ENT who scheduled surgery to remove his tonsils & adenoids only 3 weeks prior to my due date!!! Brian & I handled him being taken from us the best we could but knowing one of nurses that was with him during surgery made us feel better. He woke up from surgery spit firin' mad & the first couple of days were rough on everyone but we made it through. I'm very proud to say Logan has only had 1 ear infection since his surgery & hasn't battled too many other illnesses either. ;)

 

12. We hosted the largest party at our home (to date) just a couple of weeks ago for Logan's birthday. I was tired of renting a place or just going to a restaurant to accommodate everyone so I was determined to make it work at our house. (With a huge family like ours, you gotta do whatcha gotta do sometimes!) We had an awesome turn out...some 30+ people. Plus, we had an extra special visitor.....Santa!

The birthday boy wasn't too excited about Santa :(

The best one we could get

13. The fact that we were able to share so many wonderful memories with all of our friends & family this year has been amazing. I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us but the Gaiser's are ready to turn the page in the book & start another chapter! :)

December Update

Outside my window . . . the snow is slowly melting. It was so pretty while it lasted but this is the nastiest part of snow because it's flat out nasty wherever you walk.

I am thinking . . . about how different this Christmas will be. We have 3 new additions in our family this year (Levi, our niece Lily, & our nephew Daniel) so there's a lot of extra love to go around. On a sad note, we're missing one very special guy...my Papa, who passed away in October.

I am thankful for . . . the time Logan spends at pre-school. He has grown so much in the short amount of time he's been going. Plus it gives me some one-on-one time with Levi & a chance to get some stuff done around the house while Logan's gone. I love seeing what he's learned or what project they did when I pick him up!

In the kitchen . . . is a decent amount of birthday cake leftovers from Logan's party. We'll be eating this stuff for days!!

I am wearing . . . pj's but will soon change into more appealing clothes to take Logan to school. :)

I am creating . . . a to-do list for this weekend. I have several things I'd like to accomplish before Christmas.

I am going . . . to try to talk Brian into running some errands with me when he gets home from work. Maybe if I bribe him with dinner out that'll work???

I am wondering . . . how Logan will react when he sees what Santa has brought him.

I am reading . . . I've given up on reading for now :(

I am hoping . . . we can find a babysitter so Brian & I can have a date night soon.

I am looking forward to . . . a less hectic Christmas season this year. We always have 5 places to go but this year's schedule is more broken up. That'll be so nice to be able to keep the kids on their schedule. It's a pain to go to 3+ places in one day.

I am hearing . . . Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :)

Around the house . . . are tons of new toys Logan received from his birthday party. This is the first year he was totally excited about a party & it was a blast! We even had a special visitor...Santa!!

One of my favorite things . . . is watching a Christmas movie at night while cuddled up on the couch.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . I must finish a couple last minute Christmas gifts, I have some blood work to be drawn, Brian may have to work this weekend, & we're making Christmas cookies on Sunday.

August Update

Outside my window . . . the sun is rising. What a beautiful picture!

I am thinking . . . about things that were discussed in a department meeting we had at work yesterday.

I am thankful for . . . my mom. She's been so awesome at helping us out by watching both boys while I work. It's a relief knowing they are cared for so well while I'm gone. Thank goodness for Meme!!

In the kitchen . . . are new boxes of Enfamil. I forgot how expensive that stuff is!

I am wearing . . . jeans & a work polo shirt.

I am creating . . . a to-do list for Erin's baby shower.

I am going . . . to try to be more positive at work. I feel like lately I've been a Debbie Downer & I need to kick that to the curb. So here's to a new day!

I am wondering . . . why time flies by so quickly???

I am reading . . . I've given up on reading for now :(

I am hoping . . . Logan wakes up dry today. It's his first night without a Pull Up.

I am looking forward to . . . a shopping trip with 2 of my sister-in-laws in October.

I am hearing . . . SILENCE. Yippie!!!!!!!!!!!

Around the house . . . are a ton of baby clothes I'm sorting through for the consignment sale coming up in a few weeks. I didn't realize how many pieces of clothing we have for Levi. It's a bit ridiculous & I'm starting to think I may have a slight problem.....

One of my favorite things . . . is to see a smile on my boys' faces. It doesn't matter how crappy my day has been but when Logan gives me a hug as soon as I walk in the door, things just seem to be better. All of the money in the world couldn't replace the happiness these 2 little guys give me.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . As of now we don't have any plans for the weekend (which is nice). We've been very busy for the past several weekends so it'll be nice to spend one relaxing at home. Next week my work schedule is a little different to accommodate Brian's upcoming procedure. Then the following week Logan starts pre-school.

July Update

Outside my window . . . it's rainy & nasty but that's ok because we need to rain badly.

I am thinking . . . about how badly I procrastinate with Levi. I just started filling out his baby book last night & we haven't even had his 3-month pictures taken & he's already 4 months old!! This would not have flown with Logan but I guess that's the difference between the first & second born.

I am thankful for . . . the great turn out we had at Levi's baptism yesterday. He's a blessed little boy to have so many people who love him.

In the kitchen . . . are a sink full of dishes that need to be loaded into the dishwasher.

I am wearing . . . my PJs.

I am creating . . . a grocery list.

I am going . . . to take the boys to story time at the library this morning then we're heading to the grocery store.

I am wondering . . .how Logan's first day of pre-school will go when he starts in 6 weeks or so.

I am reading . . .At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks

I am hoping . . . General gets better. He's been sick since 2 a.m. yesterday morning. :(

I am looking forward to . . . my sister's baby shower. I love planning parties!!

I am hearing . . . Jake & the Neverland Pirates on the TV.

Around the house . . . are many chores that should be done. But they'll have to wait a bit longer so I can have some fun with the boys this morning.

One of my favorite things . . . is to plan. I like to know what is going to happen & when. If things don't go accordingly, I tend to become a little crabby. But last weekend I let my need for control go when we spontaneously decided to join some friends at KY lake. We decided at 11 a.m. on Sunday to make the small trip & it was an awesome decision. We had a blast!!! It's nice sometimes to let go & just fly by the seat of your pants. :)

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . run some errands today, possible motorcycle races tonight at the fair, I have 2 appointments in the morning, work the rest of the week, & a birthday swim party on Saturday.

June Update

Outside my window . . . it's sunny. I believe it's suppose to be hot so Logan & I will probably spend some time in his pool.

I am thinking . . . about how blessed I am to have a supportive husband & 2 amazing sons!

I am thankful for . . . the past 12 weeks I've had off work. I've been able to spend some great quality time with them but now it's time to return to the real world tomorrow.

In the kitchen . . . are a couple Father's Day gifts that need to be wrapped.

I am wearing . . . shorts & a t-shirt. It's my new every day attire. :)

I am creating . . . a grocery list.

I am going . . . to start planning Levi's baptism.

I am wondering . . .how many tears will be shed tomorrow morning. :(

I am reading . . .At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks

I am hoping . . . Levi's colic goes away in the near future. I don't like that he's so upset in the evenings. It makes it very difficult to have visitors or to go any where.

I am looking forward to . . . this weekend. We have a birthday party for a very special little boy & Logan can't wait to see his buddy. 

I am hearing . . . Jake & the Neverland Pirates on the TV.

Around the house . . . are the sounds of 2 happy boys. Levi is laughing at the TV while Logan is having a truck race with his monster trucks. I love the sound of laughter...it tells me that we must be doing something right!

One of my favorite things . . . is to swim. Too bad we didn't put our pool up this year......

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . I return to work tomorrow, possible dinner with my family on Thursday, birthday party on Saturday, & we're having family over on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day.

Meet Our Newest Addition

Levi Aaron Gaiser

3/18/13 @ 10:36 a.m.

7 lb. 2 oz. 19 3/4 in.

 

 

 

 

He's a true blessing for us & now completes our family. I'm sorry for the severe delay in posting any pics but things have been a little crazy around here since Levi's arrival. It started, continued, & ended with me having complications from the delivery that required 2 visits to the ER, 1 resulting in being admitted & having surgery. I'm on the mend but it'll be a few months before my body is back to 100%. Enough about me though...I promise to post more pics as soon as I get them off my camera. Until then, enjoy these few!



April Update

Outside my window . . . it's a beautiful day!! Sun is shining, birds are chirping, & it's in the 70's. I couldn't ask for better weather.

I am thinking . . . we need to plan a weekend get-a-way to somewhere new. We're thinking about Cincinnati since neither of us have been there plus they have an awesome zoo for Logan.

I am thankful for . . . my amazing OB. He got me through a difficult pregnancy, quick labor, & rocky recovery. Things seem to be looking up since I haven't been to the ER in 2 weeks. I thank God he gifted that man to take such good care of me.

In the kitchen . . . there are miscellaneous things that need to be put away.

I am wearing . . . shorts & a t-shirt. I know it isn't glamorous but hey--I'm a new mom again.

I am creating . . . a list of things I want to get done this week. I wonder how many I'll actually get checked off???

I am going . . . to search Pinterest for new recipes. I feel like we're in a rut & eat the same stuff over & over. Gotta love Pinterest!

I am wondering . . .if it's a fluke or miracle that the boys nap at the same time.

I am reading . . .I might as well leave this blank for a while since we have a newborn. LOL

I am hoping . . . to go clothes shopping for Logan sometime this week. The poor kid is lacking in the summer clothes department & since he loves to be outside, I suppose it isn't appropriate to send him out there in his winter clothes.

I am looking forward to . . .lunch with my mom later this week. I truly appreciate everything she (& my MIL) have done for us since Levi has arrived.

I am hearing . . . the washer running & General walking on the deck.

Around the house . . . there are signs a newborn has taken over our lives. I quickly remembered how much 'stuff' they have once we brought it down from the attic. Man, babies take up a lot of room considering how small they are!

One of my favorite things . . . is to spend an evening at home surrounded by family or friends. It's perfect weather for a bonfire right now!!

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . I don't have a single thing planned (amazing, I know). So we'll just see where this week takes us.

March Update

Outside my window . . . it's dreary & cold.

I am thinking . . . that God blessed me 7 years ago when Brian & I got married. Happy Anniversary!!

I am thankful for . . . modern medical technology. Logan had his tonsils & adnoids removed this past Thursday & it amazes me how quick the procedure was & his recovery has been so far. We're still on the mend but I think we're on the down side of the hill now.

In the kitchen . . . there's a box of cereal calling my name :)

I am wearing . . . yoga pants & a t-shirt. It seems to be the most comfortable thing to wear these days.

I am creating . . . a list of things for Brian to bring to the hospital when it's 'go' time.

I am going . . . to attempt the grocery store today but it all depends on how Logan is feeling.

I am wondering . . .when Levi will make his debut this month???

I am reading . . .'Reshaping It All' by Candace Cameron Bure

I am hoping . . . Logan feels much better today. I hate seeing my lil' man hurt! :(

I am looking forward to . . .meeting Levi. I've officially passed the point in my pregnancy when I had Logan & am very grateful to get to this point. Logan will be an amazing big brother & I can't wait to see how he interacts with a new baby.

I am hearing . . . the furnace running & General licking his paws.

Around the house . . . there are dishes to be washed, toys for a cute little boy to play with, & clothes to be cleaned.

One of my favorite things . . . is to enjoy the short amount of quiet time I have to myself in the morning. It allows me to check my e-mail, Facebook, blog, & anything else I can squeeze in before Logan wakes up.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . ultrasound & doctor's appointment tomorrow, work the rest of the week, & who knows what will take place this weekend. I like not always having something planned & just flying by the seat of our pants!!

Pregnancy: Week 34

I haven't updated much about my pregnancy so I thought I'd do so. With Logan's pregnancy, it seemed much easier. Maybe that's because I didn't have another child to tend to at the time. Maybe it's because time seems to pass by way too quickly. Or...maybe I'm just lazier this time around (that's bad, I know). This pregnancy is a true miracle for us. For those of you that don't know, Brian & I suffered a miscarriage in February 2012 after another embryo transfer. After more testing on myself, we found out that I have an antibody build up that causes my body to fight off pregnancy (kind of in the same way it does an infection or illness). Therefore, before we got pregnant with Levi I had to start preventative shots & medications to subside the anitbodies; which I've continued throughout the entire pregnancy. Luckily, the embryo transfer went well & at 14 weeks we got the 'all clear' from our fertility doctor & was released into his care. Since then I've seen my OB on a bi-weekly basis, the fertility doctor on a monthly basis, & the specialist on an every 2 month basis. Needless to say that I've seen more doctors in the past 8 months than I have in my entire life.

As of today, I no longer have to see the specialist because my ultrasound showed Levi is right on track with his growth. He's already head down & weighs approximately 5 lbs. 2 oz. At this rate, he'll be larger than his big brother! :) My OB (whom I saw immediately after the specialist) told me that I'm officially at the point in my pregnancy that if I go into labor he will NOT try to stop it. I've had contractions for about the past 4 weeks but they've been very spuratic. But over the past 2 weeks they've become more regular & actually happen daily. So I now have to keep track of them in case they become active labor pains. Besides that, everything is going well. My BP is great, weight is on track, & swelling is staying at a minimum. Here's a glimpse at our miracle:

I just LOVE his little nose & mouth!!! <3

Levi's Room

Now that Levi's room is complete, I thought it was time to share some photos of Brian's hard work. First, we replaced the carpet (which took place in all of bedrooms). Then Brian repainted the walls to match the crib bedding. The best part of Levi's room is his closet--Brian built an organizer. Since I'm a little particular about where things go & having order, I find this the most exciting part! :) The final touches came from him staining a shelf that's hung above the changing table & painting the letters to his name. Finding curtains is the only thing left to do...I should get going on that!!

Construction Zone is the theme

The only thing missing now is a special little boy to place in the crib. :)

Happy Valentine's Day...early

Since Valentine's Day falls on a day that I work, I thought Logan & I would make our Valentine cupcakes a little early. This is the first year he actually was excited to help me bake & decorate. I cheated this year (being 33 weeks pregnant will do that to a gal) by using boxed Funfetti cake mix & icing.

I even put them in these adorable V-Day cupcake foils I found at Target

 

Here are some pictures from our baking today:

He added the ingredients to the bowl for me

Logan was very excited (for some reason) to put the cupcake foils in the pans

I love this photo! His little hands adding his own special touch to each cupcake :)

Every baker needs a taste tester

February Update

Outside my window . . . I can see the sun trying to come out even though it's been overcast & rainy for most of the day

I am thinking . . . that I have a very short time left to take advantage of our time as a family of 3

I am thankful for . . . a husband who helps out around the house whenever & however he can. It's becoming more difficult these days to do certain 'chores' that would normally seem so easy. I can't thank Brian enough!!

In the kitchen . . . there are beautiful flowers my grandma gave me at my surprise baby 'sprinkle'

I am wearing . . . yoga pants & a t-shirt. It seems to be the most comfortable thing to wear these days.

I am creating . . . my menu & grocery list at the moment

I am going . . . to 2 doctor's appointments tomorrow. Here's to hoping for some good news!!!

I am wondering . . .who Levi will look like. Any guesses???

I am reading . . .'Reshaping It All' by Candace Cameron Bure

I am hoping . . . to get a lot accomplished at work this week. I know I'm off until Wednesday but sometimes my mind wonders to work related stuff. :(

I am looking forward to . . .my doctor appointment tomorrow; my Girls Night dinner on Thursday with my grandma, mom, & 2 sisters; & the DU banquet on Saturday

I am hearing . . . the washing machine running

Around the house . . . there aren't a lot of things to be done. All of the cleaning has been done since we hosted a Super Bowl party yesterday. :)

One of my favorite things . . . is to budget with Brian. I know it's corny but it's a great way to make sure we're both on the same page. Plus, it keeps us both in check with what's going on or coming up.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . .grocery shop, doctor's appointment, & work. I hope to squeeze in some time to hang out with some friends but we'll have to see what Brian's work schedule looks like for this weekend. Either way, it'll be a great week!!

Homemade Donuts

We had a great & rare surprise this past weekend...Brian didn't have to work. So, I decided to have a special breakfast on Saturday that consisted of something besides our traditional cereal. :) Brian is an awesome cook so any time he helps out in the kitchen I think it's a treat. Any way...we made homemade donuts & boy were they delicious!!!

This is about half of what we made :)
 

To make these fabulous guys all you need to do is take a can of biscuits (we used 2) & punch a hole in the middle of the biscuits by using a thimble. Pop the donuts into a Fry Daddy full of hot oil & let them do their thing. Once the donuts are nice & golden, take them out & cover them in your favorite topping. We used powered sugar & a cinnamon/sugar mix this time but I'd like to use icing & sprinkles next time too. The best part about making the donuts are turning the small pieces of dough you removed from the center of the donut into donut balls!!!

This was a fun & easy breakfast to start our Saturday off with. And I love how Logan can be involved by covering the donuts (and himself) in the toppings. :)

Taco Soup

Since it's absolutely frigid here in Evansville, I decided to make a nice pot of Taco Soup last night for dinner. It's an extremely quick, easy, & cheap dinner to make--plus it was a great way to warm up!! This entire pot of soup cost around $4 to make (not including the meat because we use deer meat).Here's the recipe I use but you can add or remove whatever you like to make it more of your own:

*1 1/2 lb. ground beef, browned (we use deer meat because that's what we have)
*2 cans of corn
*2 cans of beans (I use kidney beans)
*28 oz. can of diced tomatoes
*1 package of taco seasoning

Mix all ingredients into a pot & allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low until you're ready to serve. I like to add more water to my soup so it isn't so think but of course that's optional. The best part about this soup are the toppings: tortilla chips, shredded cheese, & sour cream. Yum, yum! Enjoy!!! :)

January Update

Outside my window . . . it's sunny but very cold

I am thinking . . . that I have an amazing 3 year-old little boy who teaches me something new every day. He's going to make a great big brother!!

I am thankful for . . . nap time :)

In the kitchen . . . there are clean counter tops & bottles drying (nesting has kicked in).

I am wearing . . . yoga pants & a t-shirt. It seems to be the most comfortable thing to wear these days.

I am creating . . .a list of things to take to the hospital in case things happen sooner than expected, like last time.

I am going . . .to become a better blogger this year.

I am wondering . . .why General feels the need to shed so much hair all over the house. It becomes frustrating!!

I am reading . . .'Reshaping It All' by Candace Cameron Bure

I am hoping . . . to relax for a bit before Logan gets up. I'm one tired momma these days.

I am looking forward to . . .my doctor appointment on Tuesday. I love getting updates on little Levi. :)

I am hearing . . . Law & Order SVU on the TV

Around the house . . .are signs that a new baby is on his way.

One of my favorite things . . .having dinner with friends, which we're doing tonight. I'm excited to finally have a chance to catch up!

A few plans for the rest of the week . . .grocery shop, doctor's appointment, & work. It's an exciting life, I know.
