Time to announce.

I told Ralph the other day that I am lazy. He said that is the last word that he would use to describe me. Then I decided I am socially lazy. It's so much easier not to say things sometimes then it is to say things. So here is our news.

We bought a house. In Draper. We will hopefully be in it by the end of January. We are really excited. It's about five minutes from Ralph's work, saving him an hour and a half on the road.

And we are expecting our third child in the middle of July. I have been out of commission for the last six weeks being sick. I was always functional, but not to the best of my abilities. I am feeling better. I even had a good work out at the gym today. I have missed that, and so has my waist line. You aren't suppose to gain as much weight as I have in the fist 12 weeks of pregnancy. It was do to sitting around, eating what ever would keep my stomach calm (usually white flower carbs,) and no gym time. But I'm back. Watch out.

OK, lets finish up the year...

My whole family came for Thanksgiving, and for my dad's 80th Birthday Party. It was loads of fun to have the family together. The kids all loved playing with each other.

Happy Birthday, Pops. We had a big party at our church with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma, and Dad's whole family. It was a lovely, wonderful night.

My favorite peeps, my siblings.

Finally, in the beginning of December, Hannah caught the dress up bug. She would throw a fit whenever I tried to dress her up. Of course, she had to try all of the dresses.

And settled for Snow White, because it is a little bit shorter and she wasn't tripping all over the place. She's very smart.

Hannah and Amber's favorite past time, playing in Amber's room (where Hannah sleeps as well.) The best thing a mother of two small children can hear. Amber saying, "Hannah, come on, let's go play in my room!" Hannah says, "Ok." And they disappear. They go play. I don't have to be there. It's wonderful!

Christmas Eve, the Nativity. The angles and Mary.

Hannah wanted in on the dress up action.

Hannah jumping on our new trampoline with new jewels on. It's an adult strength, exercise trampoline.

And then the snow came. Again. My wonderful sister Karen went out and played with us. I must say, when taking two little kids out to tromp around in the snow, it's much nicer with company!

And then they began to eat the snow. Yum.

I wore regular boots with my pants tucked in so my sister could wear my snow boots. Don't I look stylish?

Karen, the best sister and aunt anyone could want. She stayed a week after Christmas and we had a great time together. I miss her every morning when I drink my daily hot chocolate along.
