Updates and Reflections

I don't really have anything in particular to write about, but I thought I would update you all.

The boys were crazed monsters up until Christmas and since then they have actually been pretty good (knock on wood). I think the stress of the Holidays got to us all. The boys got so many presents that I didn't know what to do with them all (as seen in the picture!) I literally replaced all the toys in their room. They are having fun with their big boy stuff though. At the end of the month I have to register Matt for preschool again for the 4 year olds and Ethan will have to be registered for kindergarten : ( I am a little sad that he is so big, its seems like just yesterday that he was my only baby. He is so excited to go and there are days when I think I might be more excited then him, but then I actually think about how big he has gotten and it make me sad.

Jason started new hours on Monday, so he's working M-F 8-4:30 with Sat. and Sun. off! Yeah finally no Saturdays, at least for the next 6 months. I am getting closer to my due date, thank God. I am ready to be done and meet our beautiful baby girl. Jason and I like to speculate on who she's going to look like since we both have a child that looks like us! Its such a toss up, but like I told him I bet she comes out with red hair so I can go out in public and have three totally different looking children and people can ask me if I babysit or just glare at me, depending on where I am at.

Its that time when the holiday rush is done to sit down and reflect on the past year. For me this has been a really mixed year. There have been some really great things that have had happened and some really bad. I count my blessings because I have a wonderful husband, two healthy, (for the most part) happy children and wonderful friends who have been so supportive and helpful throughout my whole pregnancy. Its great to know that you are loved by so many people and that you have so many people that you hold dear. To all of you, you know who you are, you guys are awesome and I am so thankful to have all of you in my life. Especially you Jason : ) You are the most important person to me and I love you so much. I can't wait to celebrate our five year anniversary tomorrow!
