Waiting...

Hi all

Not too much new here.  We've just been muddling through these last few weeks of cold weather.  We just had my sister's baby shower so now we're just waiting on the arrival of baby Connor.  He's due to arrive the end of March(hopefully March 31st)

Mike got me a fantastic 30th birthday gift-a day at the spa and an overnight stay at a bed/breakfast type place.  I'm going with 3 of my girlfriends and can't wait.

Next weekend all of Mike's sister's and brother's and families will be in town to celebrate his parent's 50th wedding anniversary.  They're having a dinner for everyone so we're really looking forward to visiting and celebrating with them.  

Again, sorry I don't have much to report or too many pictures.  We're just hoping the end is in sight for winter and spring will be right around the corner.

This is from Kate and Fred's shower.  Alexis gave them a gift, which Kate picked out and paid for!  She was thrilled to give it to them and she even wrapped it herself!

Fun times

Quick pics from today...too cute not to capture! Matthew is very into slaying dragons right now. It's a step away from the princess dresses and always wanting to be Sleeping Beauty. We've talked him into being the Prince and now he has to fight the 'angry dragon.'

I'm trying to get used to Alexis' haircut. Every time I look at her she seems to look older!

Stuff

Since I haven't posted in a while I'll tell you a little bit of what's been going on. Nothing really exciting...

-I am preparing for my first exam in Psychology on Tuesday-keep your fingers crossed, I'm a terrible test taker, really, I am!

-I am going out of my mind trying to schedule my life for the next several years with my courses-when/where to take them-blah, blah, blah...Why can't PSU schedule out for the next 4 years at least. I mean, really, I'm not taking anything out of the ordinary. Work with me Pres. Spanier-I'm a planner, everybody knows it. All I want is a basic Chem class to fit in with my son's preschool. Lesson #1 Finish college before kids, it's a helluva lot easier to juggle things.

-The big discussion lately with Alexis is how she doesn't want to get her shots for kindergarten. Mike and I went back and forth on who's taking her:he'll take her, No, I will, etc. So finally last night I decided I'm the Mom, I need to be there for her (not that Mike doesn't but you Mom's know what I'm talking about.) So I've got myself all prepared for the 4 shots she's to get. Well, we find out she ONLY has to get 3-big relief. They come in, ask her to hold out her left arm and whammo--she's done! She watched them the whole time, didn't shed a tear and was amazing. I feel very guilty that I had such doubt in her! I, on the other hand, was about to cry BECAUSE she didn't cry-makes no sense I know but again, you Mom's know what I'm talking about.

So anyway, nothing exciting but something to blog about and let you all know we're still alive and kickin' and very anxious for spring.
