Exciting Times!

I am usually horrible about being a consistent blogger but I like to think that moving is my main excuse for the absence over the past few weeks (as well as the fact that the kids lost one of our memory chips and the other somehow got bent in the move so I finally picked up a new one at Costco today). We are so excited to be in a house-after 5+ years in an apartment it was well overdue! What are some of the best parts about our new casa:

Our recently purchased flat screen TV. Don't be fooled-big spenders we are NOT. Our 19" that I've had since I was 16 broke down a few months ago and we have used the computer for any movie watching desires and when we moved I finally used some of my babysitting money and purchased a real TV. You should have seen the kids eyes the first time we watched a movie on it!
The next best thing is having a back yard. It is nothing special but children crave having open terrain every once in a while. The kids have absolutely loved it and it has been one of my favorite things about the house.



And finally, we now have a 3rd bedroom to make room for a new baby! We are so excited to be expecting and Brian is already trying to brainwash my belly to make it a boy! Everything is going great and the due date is November 16th.


That is all the exciting news for now, we are so excited that Brian's 2nd year is almost done which will be another exciting upcoming event!
