Oh where did blogging go?

Well, it has been way too long since I have blogged anything about anything. I used to blog once a month. We were hit in December/January with sickness after sickness. February has been a much better month so far. To bring everyone up to speed we are expecting our 3rd child in August, super duper excited about it! I have never been pregnant in the Summer time so we will see how that goes. I will have to blog about it. Our house is on the market we are going through the short sale process. We cannot afford our home any longer. Long story don't want to bore anyone. God will see us through this time he always has when we don't know the direction he is taking us we usually go with the flow.

Bailey continues to love Pre-K at our church which she attends 3 times a week. Bailey is back to dancing again which she can't get enough of. Mommy and Daddy always look forward to her recital in June. Netflix and the Wii have been pretty popular in our house right now with both kids. I wish the weather would hurry up and turn Spring on us so we can play at the park and get outside more, cabin fever anyone?

Hudson turned 2 in January. Hard to believe he is 2 already. He has been talking more, 3 words at a time. He loves trains, trucks, making boy noises, animal noises, bugging his sister and copying everything she does. They keep me busy to say the least. Hudson is very into doing what his sister does and wants to join in at all times.

Bailey and Hudson are excited for their new brother or sister. Hudson kisses my belly right now and Bailey asks when is the baby coming,(no concept of time.)

Jon continues to work hard at the City of Bellevue. Busy guy doing household stuff and leading men's group on Saturday mornings at our church. We also have a couples group at our home on Thursday nights. Tuesday nights he hangs with the kids so I can lead a women's group. We have been more than busy but enjoy every minute of it.

Wishing you all well and happy!!! I will try and be better about this blogging thing in 2011!

Obsessions......

I have not blogged since October it looks like. I really need to find some more time to do this. It is a great outlet for me even if no one reads. Wow, where did Thanksgiving go and now it soon will be Christmas. I love this time of year, one of my ultimate fav's. The best part is having kids to enjoy this time of year and sharing with them why we celebrate Christmas. This holiday we are leaving in a few days to go back to Nebraska to spend time with Jon's family. We have not been back in 2 years around the Christmas time. Looking forward to the visit. We will be home for Christmas. Yesterday I took the kids to Fred Meyer's to pick out a present for the Women's shelter, our church will be donating presents to this year. Hudson did not quite understand why he could not keep the present, but in years to come he will understand. Bailey almost got it...she picked out a barbie and some Littlest Pet Shop for another little girl and then asked if she could play with the Barbie when we got home. While I was looking at make-up she asked if I should get a mommy who does not have make-up some. She gets it! Our latest obsessions in our house from Hudson are drum roll please....Watching Finding Nemo and the Incredibles at least once a day. These are the only 2 movies this boy will watch. He calls Nemo, "MOMO." Both of these movies are really action packed plus have great story lines. It must be bad when your 4 1/2 yr. old recites "Mail order, Ebay." Oh no!!!! Bailey's obsessed with having a real live pony in her backyard. She has asked Santa Claus for this hairy, pretty, but live animal. You will have to tune back in to the blog to see what I have come up for this present. She is obessed with horses, dancing, arts and crafts, and drawing pictures on her drawing tablet. I may have a real picasso on my hands. What is your obession? We all have them. Francis Chan from the book Crazy Love talks about being Obsessed with our Lord and Savior. I continue to work on this daily. I am obsessed with homemade crafty things, Etsy stuff. I love to support handmade things. Enjoy your holiday season. Jesus is the reason for the season.
