The Super Diaper Babies!

Sometimes bedtime can be silly and fun. I love it when it's like that. Neither of the kids are in diapers anymore (not even for nighttime), but we sure had fun playing around!

Don't forget to check below for another new post!

It's here at last!

And no, I don't mean the baby. I decided he's never coming out. Or at least not until we actually get some better weather! Darn snow... But I have finally made the time to post some Rascal Flatts concert pictures.

First off, getting there was quite the experience as we drove through some terrible weather and almost died five times. Okay, we were never really close to dying, but there were some crazy times! At least I had good company. Then somehow Aaron, who had taken Kara for her birthday (the reason she's not in the picture, she was with her hubby!), somehow managed to trade our seriously nose-bleed tickets for floor tickets. It was so exciting! But because I was 8 months pregnant, standing the whole time was not an option. That's where my usher comes in. He was so sweet and anytime I sat down in the chair near him he wanted to make sure I was okay. Really, he probably wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be a liability! :) But when I was standing up we were so close that most everybody in our group got to touch the singer's hands when they came our way (I decided it was safer to stay out of the hustle and bustle!). In fact in one picture you can see just how close Trisha got. And just so you know there's no zoom in use in most of those pictures. There's one that you can see exactly what I saw when I looked up. And I thought it was hilarious that his jeans had little embellishments!

I had such a great time at the concert and I'm so glad I went, but I can guarantee I wouldn't have had as much fun if I'd gone with other people. Thanks girls (and Aaron!) for making it so much fun for me and for taking care of my pregnant-ness the whole time!

Love you all! Mwah!

Help Wanted

Clearly I need help. I'm 11 days away from spontaneous combustion and already I can't seem to cook a healthy meal for my family because I lack energy/time/motivation/oxygen. I'm doing my very best to be better, but I realize that I will be out of commission for an unknown period of time. So I have taken a few staple recipes, purchased the ingredients, and over the next few days I will be making/mixing the meals and freezing them.

Here's where I need your help. I need more recipe ideas that can be frozen, thawed, and cooked and still taste good. So, anybody have any good recipes?

Happy Thoughts

As the day drawers near for me to 'calve' (as someone so nicely put it the other day) I just want everyone to be thinking happy thoughts for me. That is, happy labor thoughts. I know I have a couple weeks still, but this little one is making me so uncomfortable and slightly miserable most of the time. So if you could keep thinking those happy thoughts, then maybe he'll come a little sooner. What does it hurt to try anyway?

And here are my other little munchkins being crazy and anticipating the arrival of their baby brother Max.

I already know.

It's time for an update, and I get that. But it feels like the closer it gets to this baby coming, the less control I have over the rest of my life. So I'm going to take care of that first. I hope that's okay...

Thanks, and happy smiles all around!
