I know.

I have not been doing a very good job of updating this blog so far!  I'll do it when I can, no promises of a new post every week though.

I have spent the past few days being extra thankful for a happy, fun-filled life!  I have fun with my children and we laugh together lots.  I have a husband that makes me laugh each and every day.  We are blessed beyond measure to have children that are smart, funny and kind. 

I have also been thankful for this baby growing inside me!  He is moving and shaking these days and when I looked at my pregnancy app today and it told me I have 15 weeks and 6 days left, it made me feel excited, relieved, anxious, all at the same time.  Being 37 and pregnant has not been the easiest thing I have ever done but I am now on the downhill slide!  Nursery, bedding, registering, washing tiny clothes, all that is coming in the next few weeks! 

This week Bowen was accepted into our districts Gifted and Talented program!  He is going to flourish in a GT atmosphere, Jonathan and I are so happy!  We are also happy and proud that Laine is now a Yellow-Black belt!  Laine and Bowen both work very hard at karate and I am glad that they enjoy it and glad (selfishly) that they have chosen a sport that does not have games every Saturday!  Hopefully they will both stick with it and become Black belts! Finally, I am proud to say that I have all the Christmas presents wrapped, a relaxing feeling! 

We are headed to Abilene tomorrow for festivities that begin with Blake's birthday and end with Christmas!
