I'm fat...

I really want to get back to blogging so I thought I'd start of with my only partially bad excuse for not blogging in forever.

I'm FAT! REALLY FAT!

...and this is with just over 3 months left... (this isn't completely up to date picture)

Can I just say I hope this baby comes a little early? Is that horrible to wish for? The questions and comments started around the half way mark so now I'm getting the "Are you having twins or triplets?" So just to clarify, I'm having one.

Sam is praying for this little gal to come and they are both super excited to meet her. She gets more hugs and kisses than I do. It will be fun to have her join us but I have to admit, this has not been the easiest pregnancy with it's complications and now the hugeness that I get to lug around daily. Apparently she's actually not too huge either so it's all surrounding water... Maybe that's why I look like a watermelon. :) Either way we are all so grateful everything is ok now and just hope I can make it the last 3 months!

Oh, and just because it's funny I really don't look pregnant from the back. I stick straight out in the front. I'd post a picture of that but it would be weird.

Starting up again...

Well, Arnold did a great post getting us up to the present but since I don't have any photos from our camera since the post he did I'm going to go back in time again... :) And just to show how far behind I am, I'm posting the last pictures from our trip to Texas in February. Yup! Wow! I'm slow...

Sam and Marie LOVED playing the piano in Texas. They don't have one they can play freely here and they just loved playing Grandad's piano! I think it was one of their favorite activities. Here you can see how much Sam loved it. I hope we can keep this love alive and help it grow for the future!

Time Warp: Skip to Present

Hi World,

here a brief summary of what happened in the last six months: a lot. Hence we are (temporarily) skipping it to bring us up to the current place in time.

We just had one week's vacation and spent a few days of that by going to Bavaria and Austria. We stayed in a hut in the mountains, and had a great time. We also touristed and also saw the Neuschwanstein Castle. It was fun.
