I just wanted to recognize my brothers today. Jay is serving in the Air Force & Jeff in the Army. May God continue to bless you and keep you protected!! We are thinking, praying and supporting your every effort & sacrifice for freedom. You are loved more than you'll ever know. Thank you for your service!!

15 weeks today!


Just wanted to show off a bit. I can't believe that I'm in my 4th month! Morning sickness seems to have subsided, but I get worn out very quickly. I don't stray too far from home; no energy. Part of that is frustrating because I have things that I would like to be doing. I seem to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Hope that keeps up when they arrive. I keep feeling baby flutters, but they say that you start feeling "movement" within 18-22 weeks. The baby's are now 3.5". I am anxious to see them on the 17th! The doctors will then know their gender, but Ian and I aren't going to find out. We're discussing many different name combinations, which we won't reveal until they arrive either. I know, sorry to keep y'all in anticipation. Such a fun experience! I am truly blessed!

New Mom-mobile



We haven't bought anything yet, but Ian and I are looking around for a new family vehicle. With twins, we will rapidly outgrow my Pontiac. With a double stroller in the trunk, there's no room for anything else; passengers, groceries, dry cleaning, etc. We went to the Ford dealership on the 7th & test drove their Explorer. I really like it! The 2010 model has a "sync" upgrade that links to your cell phone so when someone calls you, you pick it up by pressing a button on the steering wheel & their voice comes through the car speakers. Great feature! Love being hands free!! The turning radius is also fantastic!! Drives like a dream. There are a couple of other SUV's that we're going to try out (not sold on the idea of a van). We want something that we can keep for a long time; something that will grow with us. Fun changing times!
