Back in the saddle again.....

About two weeks ago a good friend of mine came down from Dallas. She has a little boy, Mason, who is 6 weeks younger than Jenna. I've never been able to meet him, and she had never met Jenna. We got to finally have our babies meet and Jenna LOVED him! Joshua did too and he still goes over to the exersaucer and points saying "Mason"....He remembers that Mason came over to play and that he played in there. While he was here we got to witness a first - he sat up!! Maybe he needed some inspiration from Jenna....I don't know. He was the cutest little baby ever though and I wish they lived closer so we could have play dates. The funny thing is Mason has more hair than Joshie right now!! Hahaha! Thanks for coming to play Mason!

Tomorrow school starts back up again. I love being home with the kids all the time, but I also like having a routine down. I love working at Legacy (http://www.legacypca.org/) because it is the perfect mix for me. I can still teach - and feel more freedom than ever while teaching!

Yet I am not drained with school. I don't have to worry about TAKS testing and being swallowed up by papers and procedures. I teach Monday, Wednesday and Friday only an am at home the other 4 days of the week. Even when I am at work its not so bad as the kids go to school with me and stay right down stairs from me. I have a good break during lunch so I can even go down and eat lunch with them if I want! Who could ask for a better situation??

Since my last blog entry, Jason had "cut" my little baby boy's hair - more like shaved his head! it was supposed to be short for summer, but because he has such blonde hair, it looks like he's bald! People thought he was a chemo patient!! Thank God it is growing back and doesn't look bad anymore. You'll see from the pictures just how short daddy got.

Yes we are crazy around here. We are expecting our third child some time around April 17th. I couldn't get in to the OB any sooner than September, so the official due date is still not known. We have calculated though around the 17th using some internet "due date predictor". We shall see how close we are on the 15th of September. Its crazy because we get to see our third baby on our first baby's second birthday! LOL.....There's a peace in this pregnancy though - knowing that this is our last one. I want to savour every moment and since we have a boy and a girl, I don't have a preference to which gender it will be. Every child is a blessing from the Lord. If I had it my way we might have ten kids though!! I don't think Jason's ready for that one.....

People have always told me that the third one sneaks up on you.....IT SURE DOES!!! With Joshua I could wear my normal pants until I was about 8 months pregnant. I think I only owned one pair of maternity pants with him. With Jenna I could wear normal pants until about 5 months. Even then I was small for a long time. With this one - BAM - here I am!!! Either this is a big baby, twins, or we're farther along....LOL....My pants are already tight and I am only about 6-7 weeks along! No fair!! Its going to make April seem to drag on! Well I guess it is a good reason to get a new pair of pants....
