So, since the last post:
- Hosted a 'Sex & the City' bachelorette party for my cousin Jen
- Joined the family for the annual WISIL club bike trip - spent about 8 hours holed up in a hotel room reading, studying and working on projects for mid-term...later enjoyed a lavish dinner with cocktails, wine, and loads of rich food (you'll soon understand why that's important) - the children got to spend the whole weekend with Uncle Mike & Auntie B...and had the best time!
- Looked forward to Bernie's annual October visit - to celebrate Fionn's 2nd birthday!
- Found out we're going from a family of four to a family of FIVE...(I know-doesn't have as much impact when you've all known about it for the last 6 weeks)
- Celebrated Fionn's birthday
- Bernie spent 1 week of her 2 week visit in the hospital with double pneumonia!!
- Welcomed Denise, who flew in to fly home with Bernie.
- Enjoyed my little Ladybug and Cookie Monster on Halloween
- Celebrated the marriage of my cousin Jennifer & her husband Dan
- Visited with all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and cousin's children from Texas
- Celebrated my 34th birthday
- Gave thanks for my family and friends on Thanksgiving and enjoyed visiting with our relatives from Maryland (needed a vacation after Thanksgiving - to recover from the visit...lots of fun and late nights)
- Enjoyed Carriage Rides through our town with the children and my brother and his clan
- Visited with Santa Claus
And all the while, working full time, trying to convince my children that it is in their best interest to follow my orders (Santa's watching-what will I do after Christmas), and enjoying the craziness & fun that is our life. By no means is this meant to be a complaint...I am truly blessed to have the circle of family and friends that I do. I'm sorry I don't do a better job of keeping you all updated. Happy Christmas to you all!

Oh, you totally suck.
I can't believe I actually still check this terrible excuse for a blog. But today...YEA! I'm surpised with a rundown of events. Thank God you at least answer your phone so I can get weekly(ish) updates.
I have an idea! Send me your blog password and some occasional photos (of the BELLY and the kids) and I will update your blog for you.
What's that?!? You're busy? Just because you're working full time, pregnant, mother of two under four, a full time graduate student, a half time wife, and a zero time housekeeper doesn't mean you can't spend five hours per day blogging. You're just not supposed to sleep!
I LOVE and miss you to pieces! Kiss kiss.
Ahhh - words of wisdom from my mentor mommy blogger! Thanks for a bit of perspective during the chaos. Love you and miss y'all TONS!
