Well Hello there Little Lady!

I'll cut to the chase...we are having a GIRL! (in case you hadn't heard already).
Needless to say, we are thrilled and shocked. The little lady is doing very well according to her sonogram images/measurements, which is in fact the best news of all. Now we just need to convince Sam that he does actually want a little sister. It will become "real " in May.

Swimming Sanctuary

The pool has become my pregnancy sanctuary (again). I look forward to feeling weightless and free while still getting some serious exercise without all of the sweat. Simply stated, the perfect exercise. Others would agree. Check out the article about benefits of pregnancy swimming.
Highly recommended!

Pregnancy Swimming

Ready, Set, Go!

Yes, Sam may have inherited Mommy's running genes. He participated in his first official race. There is no better race to start with than Brian's Run in honor of his Great Grandma. She spent many many years volunteering to register runners for a great cause. We miss and love you Rosetta D.

Tis the Season

We started the season off right...train, trains and more trains.

Too bad he couldn't actually touch them.
Too bad he had a meltdown shortly thereafter. :(
Better luck next year. Live and learn (again).

Hello December!

The start of December means the start of the holiday season and the countdown to Christmas. I saw this adorable idea on one of my favorite mom blogs (Teaching Mama). For those who have the time and patience, give it a shot! See the link below for a child friendly, simple, fun advent calendar.
