Warm Winter Socks

Grandma Pierce sent us some fun Christmas socks which the kids loved.  Grinch and red reindeer.  I want some!  People keep asking how we are liking winter since it's our first time.  The kids are loving it! They are used to wearing jeans now, and don't argue when I tell them to put on their winter coats and boots.  They just go get ready to go out each day.  My favorite part of it is the coziness.  We bundle up in warm pj's and robes, fluffy socks, a fireplace, have lots of hot chocolate, and eat stews and soups a lot.  You just can't do that as have as much fun in AZ.  Other than driving in the snow...we are loving winter time.  Hopefully we'll get more soft snow soon for some more sledding adventures.

Sweet, Sweet Baby, I'll never let you go...

This week was one busy, crazy week!  I'm exhausted and want to just rest!  One of the main events was a failed one hour glucose test.  For all you moms out there, you'll know how yucky that drink is and I wasn't looking forward to doing it over, but this time with four blood samples and a three hour doctor office wait.  But I followed the rules to a "T" and spent a morning checking up on things.  Victory!  It was confirmed that I did not have diabetes and I celebrated with a See's Candies chocolate when I got home.  Here is the latest shot of the little guy or gal.  The kids are positive it's a girl.  I have to keep reminding Haleigh that it could be a boy and not to get her hopes up too high.  I asked her the other day, "I know you really want a sister, but what are you going to do if it's a boy?"  She answered, "It's okay.  Then we'll call him Larry."
