3 months later

Goodness...I am a bad blogger. But I'll try to update as to my last 3 months since I last blogged. I am going to be an aunt again, my sister Laura and her fiancee Sam are expecting a bundle of joy somewhere around February. We have already taken bets that it's a girl, and I think we're right.
I am working 4 10 hr days now, haveing Friday as my day off. I have just had the first of my long weekends begin and I must say it is a beautiful thing. Christopher loves having mommy home for 3 days in a row, and I love having an extra day to get things done. Haha perhaps blogging even.
We have decided for now to stay in our house a couple more years, not sell this year and hopefully get some things done that need to be done and have it look just that much better when we do sell. We've had some interesting experiences with things that need to be fixed in here like the waterfall of water that flooded our basement last weekend because the window just gave out in the basement, bu for the most part we like this house and would love it to look even better than when we bought it.

Family Traits

It's always funny to see family traits get passed down, even when the child in question(Chris) really looks a lot like his daddy, he just ended up getting a lot of Henry traits.

The newest one is so cute, he hangs his little tongue out when he's concentrating. I can't tell you how many pictures my parents have of all us kids doing the same thing growing up: )

Lazy Saturday....

Well we got our Federal Tax Refund back, so we are actually able to pay down some things...so we had an incredibly relaxed and lazy Saturday at home, knowing that things were paid and we had some peace of mind.

Christopher got a new Spongebob Squarepants sweatshirt at Kmart this week, for only $3, I love sales!! He also got another sweatshirt and a pair of Superman jammies for a grand total of $10!

Today is Easter pictures, we are hoping for lots of smiling faces(his cousins are coming) and no naughty attitudes!

Here's a couple lazy saturday pictures from us to you!

Wordless Wednesday...

"Move your feet lose your seat!"




"Tom Cruise Wanna-be?"

"Trying to get to Aunt Amanda"

Worried to Weigh

I so dreadfully want to weigh myself, because my clothes are quickly getting looser and looser, and I want to see what I have lost, but almost any diet plan will tell you to wait a little longer than only 6 days to weigh yourself. My elliptical is really kicking my butt, but it feels great to be getting back into shape. My long term goal in all of this is to have my blood pressure normalize itself back out. I had no blood pressure problems until I got pregnant with and lost my first son Sebastian, and then I have had blood pressure issues ever since. I was on a high dose blood pressue medicine but then I lost insurance and haven't been back to the doctor to get my prescription renewed since we got insurance back again.

Waiting for Everything/Super Heroes!

Some days I feel like a little kids still sitting in the car asking, "when we we be there, are we there yet?" This week I am waiting for everything, my tax refund, my Avon makeup, my first actual on new company payroll check, my weight to start dropping more dramatically than 5 lbs. I really have no patience either, in my head that is, of course outside I am a patient, mature adult, but inside I am a 3 year old, impatiently waiting.
I would also at this time like to take a moment to give a "shout out" to my inlaws. They are some of the best people in the world. Not only are they helping to raise/support financially my sister-in-laws 3 kids, but now they are financially supporting my husbands's grandmother as well. They are active in church, and also watch my son 1 day a week as well. I honestly dont know how they find time to do it all with having fulltime jobs as well, to me they are super heroes!

Happy Thursday!

2 consecutive day of working out done!! Today I couldn't wait to get home and work out, it just feels so good, to have my heart pumping, my muscles working and me knowing that I am getting healthier by the moment!!

Christopher totally enjoyed himself at his new babysitter's today, he was very well behaved I was told, and had a lot of fun times! I knew when we showed up and Spongebob was on, that he was going to be good :)

Yeah for the weekend coming up! I love Thursdays a lot I think mostly just for the anticipation of a nice wknd ahead!

Knock on wood, that I dont get sick, but everyone at my office is majorly sick, they've been out in "shifts." One of the girls has been out all week but came in today and looked horrendous, so we sent her home again.
