Wow, it’s been nearly two months since I’ve last posted. That’s pretty bad, even for me. All I can say is that daily life has just kept me extra busy lately. However, we are all doing well and the baby is growing, along with my belly. I’m in my third trimester now and so far so good. There are a few times when the Braxton Hicks contractions come too close and I have to stay off my feet but so far it’s been manageable.

Speaking of babies, congrats to my sister EML for giving birth to her third child Greta Anne. (Love the name. 🙂 She had a successful homebirth even with Greta being over 9lbs. Ouch. ( Fun fact: EML was my mom’s first home birth and I witnessed her birth. Pretty cool.)

Brian and I have been trying to have a few outings before the baby comes and we were blessed to spend last weekend at Pebble Beach. It’s certainly not the normal place we could afford but since Brian works there he had the chance to “test the product” for free. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Tap Room and stayed at The Lodge in one of their gorgeous rooms overlooking the ocean. Hey, they can call me anytime to test out the food and accommodations!

This weekend is the Super Bowl and normally I wouldn’t pay much attention to it. However, this year since Brian’s beloved Packers are playing we’ve got to support him and his team. So the Brian and the kids are ready with their hats and shirts and I’ve got the party food ready to go. Hopefully it’ll be fun, whatever the outcome.

The other night I came across the indie band First Class Hope. I really enjoyed their single Tonight so I downloaded their EP Love and Redemption off itunes. They are Christian and in fact, I think they may actually be Catholic. Anyone know if that’s true?

Well, John-Paul just came over and turned off the computer while I was typing this so I guess that means my time is up. (And you wonder why I don’t post more often!) I’ll leave you with our Christmas/New Year photo. Have a great weekend…and Go Pack!
