The Latest...well kind of

First some old news... David turned a quarter of a century on April 2nd! Happy Birthday sweetie!!

Now the newer news.....
     Today is officially a holiday April 18, 2011...anyone have any guesses as to what holiday? IT'S THE LAST DAY OF TAX SEASON!!!!! Yay! I am definitely going to enjoy having my husband home just a little earlier most days but I am so proud of him for his hard work, and now he is officially done with his bachelors degree!! All we need now is the masters, then no more school if at all possible! Tonight we plan to stay up as late as we want, which probably means 10:30, and then just play our hearts out tomorrow for his day off, I mean there's only so much more time we have just the two of us so we intend to make the most of it.

I am not really purchasing much in the way of baby clothes at this point, in all honesty I am not sure what to get. What if this little boy is extremely chubby and I buy a bunch of one size and he hulks out of it, or what if he's scrawny and I don't get anything small enough. How's a person to know? All I do know is that it sure will seem strange to have him go from this thriving, kicking, twisting, energy-pumped little tyke, to the sleepy baby that it seems they become once they have made their entrance into the real world. I am finding that he really likes to move and in all honesty I just can't seem to figure out what is so exciting in my womb that just keeps him entertained- although I'd really enjoy moving around that much too if I was suspended in liquid I suppose- I am really starting to feel the pressure of the added weight and the ever loosening joints. I am thoroughly glad however, that I don't have to worry at this point about him being healthy and active. It is an ever reassuring feeling that he is doing just fine and that's how we want it to stay.

Well, on Saturday we went to Shoshone Falls and the falls were super full and beautiful and when the sun snuck out we could see a full rainbow. It was breathtakingly beautiful- perfect day for a light hike and picnic, so that's what we did. We finished off the night with corn-on-the-cob and a movie. It felt like summer truly might reach us in the near future and although we'll never have another summer of freedom and playtime like we've had the last couple of years being at school, David reminded me that every year is just going to get better and better, and he's absolutely right! I am looking forward to the adventure of having our own little family together!

This is the fullest I've seen the falls for quite some time!
Aren't the falls beautiful?!
First  fire of the year!!! Created around 4:00-lasted until 9 or later, even after it had been raining a while!! Yes my husband can build a mighty good fire!!!

  1. You guys sound like you are doing great! We went to the falls last week too... on Monday! They were beautiful! And about the clothes thing for the baby... nobody ever knows what to get haha. When Karlee was born premature we had to go out and buy premie clothes, you just have to go with what is handed to you and make it all work! You guys are going to be great parents! :)
