What's new....

Howdy yall! - still doesn't roll off the tongue for me, but I'm told it will. It's only been 2 months, so we'll see. Here's some highlights from our world.

We are starting to prepare for baby. Emma is thrilled that the room she and Norah will be sharing was painted green this week. Same color she had in Bloomington. She got Norah to go along with it by promising pink and orange flowers for the walls. Anyone know a good website for wall stickers?!

Norah has ventured into the world of swimming. She had 2 weeks of lessons and loved it! The girl is a fish - a crazy one, but a fish no less. Now if we can just get her to rest and float on her back....no easy task - just ask Miss Pat the instructor!

Steve has been enjoying the great weather and early morning runs. That might be slowed down for a bit - he may have broken or at least severely bruised a toe while playing a crazy round of hide and seek with the girls. The big green chair in the living room won!

Baby and I are doing good. 28 weeks and counting.

Fish adventures - well some of you knew Dorothy and she passed on. We then brought home Aqua - she only lasted 2 days. Makes you start to wonder if you are doing something wrong. Went back to the pet store with the dead fish to get another "victim" possibly? But happy to report that #3 - Fireball is doing great!

I received a lesson about fish from the gal at the store - actually it was more of a severe reprimand! Apparently it is "too loud for the fish" if you tap the outside of the container to see if it is an active one or not. She was dead serious. I had to contain my laughter til after leaving the store. Needless to say, I don't tap loudly on Fireball's tank!

We are excited and the girls are counting the days to visits from Mr. Larry and Miss Jean - next week and then Aunt Ann, Uncle Chuck and Madeline are coming on the 27th!

Can't wait to spend time with good friends and family.
