Maybe Later...

David was working on placing some paperbacks on PaperbackSwap the other day. Lily found the box of books and decided to take one for herself. She took the book, got herself up onto the couch and pretended to read. It was very cute! Check out the title "The Killer Angels". Hrmm, a bit mature for her? David tells me this book is about the Battle of Gettysburg. Okay, a historical novel. Hold on Lily, there will be time enough for those books. Let's stick with The Very Hungry Caterpillar for now.

Happy Birthday Zach and Ian

Lily has two friends with Birthdays in December.

Happy Birthday to Zach who is turning two on the 13th! (this pic is a bit older, taken this last Spring)

Happy Birthday to Ian who is turning the big one on the 12th! Ian and Mommy Melanie this last weekend at our cookie party.

Pics and Stories

I finally downloaded some pictures from the last few days.

This last weekend we had a Cookie Exchange. I was bad about taking pictures. I thought this was a cute one though. Some of the kids decided to take a swing! It was actually semi warm outside that day.

Lily helping David put Baby #2's crib together. She loves to help her Daddy. I'm thinking of looking for a tool set for this one!

Before nap time, Lily decided to read Mommy a story. She got up here all by herself and read the entire book.

After nap time, Lily brought down some friends.

38 weeks plus! I'm totally ready to have this baby.

Oh so very Pregnant

Sorry for not posting in awhile. I do have some pictures to share and stories to tell, but the husband has been using the camera to sell some items on Craig's list and I'm not quite sure where the camera is at the moment.

I'm so very ready to have this baby now. I have entered the uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. I feel ginormous and many tasks feel like they take twice as much work as the non-pregnant Jen. I can no longer carry Lily around without pain. I can pick her up quickly, but no holding her for more than a few seconds. She's quite independent with getting around these days, so that helps. She goes up and down the stairs without my help and really the only time I need to pick her up is to put her to bed and put her in her chair to eat.

Perhaps my next post will be to share pictures of Baby #2??

It's Spring! No, It's Winter! No, It's Spring!

We are having some silly weather here in Colorado.
Last week was quite mild in the 50s and 60s. Over Thanksgiving weekend it was fairly cold and we got BIG OLE snow on Sunday. Today it's back in the 60s.
David and Lily made a snowman yesterday and today he has already mostly melted. This is what I like about Colorado - the little breaks of warmth you get during winter. (Yea, not so much a winter person. I like me some warmth!)

From our back porch

Lily's 1st snowman!

Maya got in on the action too!

Yeah snow!
