OUT OF TOUCH

OK...I realize that it has been a long time since I posted anything. Why, you ask? Honestly, I don't know, we've been really busy doing nothing here! We've done our usual weekly commitments (dance, religion etc.) but we've also been on the go with appointments, parties, shopping for Xmas etc. We've been dealing with ice and snow as well. So, I guess that I really haven't had anything worthy of posting until today...

KIM & MICHAEL ARE EXPECTING!!! That is my big, big news worthy of posting :) Here are some details. They are due on June 23rd. Kim is feeling pretty yucky, but thankful that she has stayed pregnant. She was able to hear & record the baby's heartbeat and it sounded wonderful. Jake & Allie were really excited to hear their new cousin's heart beating...a bit confused though on how that all works!! I've been dying to post this news for about a month, but I promised Kim that I would let her share her news with everyone first...it was tough for me!

I think that we are ready for Christmas. I wrapped my last gifts last night, my cards were mailed earlier in the week, my baking is done & in the freezer, I have started a "menu" for our Christmas Eve/Christmas Day food..yep, I think that is it...for now! I am enjoying being at a school during this holiday season...the kids are SO ready for Christmas and SO excited. It is fun to see the holiday joy through the eyes of lots of different kids.

Who Am I??

*I have been married to my wonderful hubby since June 1996. We are still in love. He is the perfect husband and father. He works so hard for us & provides us with everything we could ask for. He is amazing!
*I have 2 wonderful children.
*Jake was born in January 2000 and he is kind hearted and a friend to all. He is a lover of all sports and pretty good at most of them. Give him a ball and he'll score a basket, goal or a run. He's smart, good looking and the greatest son a mother could ask for!
*Allie was born in August 2001. She is a sweet heart/drama queen all wrapped up in a pretty package. She is a lover of fashion, give her some clay & she will make a masterpieces, she's never met a song she didn't like and I see an academy award for acting in her future. Her laughter fills our house every day and she is the perfect daughter for me.
