Snow Scam 2009 is NOT a Scam!!!

Every year I refer to the local weather hype as "Snow Scam Year XXXX", but this year it wasn't hype... we actually got some nice powdery snow that came down all day long. Of course, this is so exciting for kids, so we took some time to play in it and enjoy some special treats of cookies and cocoa. Justin even suited up to grill our pork loin in the snow tonight, which is a good thing because we kept having short power outages during dinner preparations!

Lana made her first snowman and a snow-duck... well, she helped a little, mostly with the face and arms. She ate snow for the first time and drank hot cocoa for the first time! Lots of fun first today! Justin enjoyed making some menacing snowballs and was very kind not to use them against us!

Pregnancy is Going Great

Just a quick post to show how huge I look and to say all is well. I'm tired mostly, but we are healthy and fine. I am starting to get excited about the upcoming birth and we are doing some preparations around the house to get ready. Mostly we need to move Lana to her own room and so the baby can use the nursery. I already put together the crib and we are working to clear our our stuff from the room that Lana will be taking over. Next step is to finish reorganizing and paint.

On another note about my pregnancy. No, I am not having twins! I am getting asked that a lot and I've only gained a net of 10 pounds and this is just how I look when I'm pregnant because I have no torso... the baby has to go somewhere so a giant belly seems to be the best option.
