Catching Up

I'm trying to get caught up before the baby arrives!  She is due to arrive in just 15 days, but I am expecting that she will be late just like her sisters.  I have been very busy "nesting" and trying to catch up with everything after a very busy holiday season.  I hope to post some more photos soon, but some things have to be taken care of first.

I was not able to visit with my family this Christmas because my doctor did not want me to travel so far this late in my pregnancy.  Many of Hubby's family did come out to visit us.  We also had a nice visit with my cousin whom I haven't seen in over eight years.  She was coming out to Colorado to visit other family members and was able to make a special visit down to visit with us as well.  We did have a nice visit with Hubby's family and even managed to make it up to the mountains for a few days.  We enjoyed some sledding, skiing and snowboarding.  Well, some of us were not allowed to participate in the snow sports, but we had a nice time anyway.

I was not able to get any Christmas cards out in the mail this year.  I had plans, I even made some lovely cards.  However, between pregnancy symptoms, sicknesses, homeschooling, preparing for guests, and life...I never got anything mailed out.  I'm sorry.  Please know that we thought about our many family members and friends, we prayed for you, and missed you.  We hope that you all had a blessed Christmas and we pray for God's blessing in your lives for the new year.  (I'm starting the envelopes for next year's Christmas cards right now just to be sure they will get done.  Although, maybe I should first make sure that I have diapers and wipes for the baby.)

Photo Favorites

I wanted to share a few more of my photos from Jonathan and Meg's wedding. I was a little busy and distracted, so I didn't get many, but I think I got a few shots that will be different than those of their photographer.

Oh, the many duties of the maid of honor!

Loved the boquet, there's just nothing more romantic than red roses
I love this shot of them listening to a toast by Meg's sister and father.

David presented a humorous slide show enjoyed by all, except maybe Jonathan who had to endure some ribbing over his most recent Christmas wish lists. I think the parents of the groom would agree that it was worthwhile entertainment!

Gingerbread House

For the last several years we have gone to our friend's bakery to decorate a gingerbread house. It is a fun tradition, and the bakery houses are much nicer than anything that I could make at home.
