I realize this is my first ‘real’ post in oh…about a month. I promise I have good reason, plus I’ve just not felt like writing. And honestly, I still don’t, so lets tell the story of our lives in the past month through pictures!
First, we had our spring break in Tennesse with one of my bestest friends Breanna and her hubby. Hurrah for seeing good friends!

We rented a cabin at the VERY top of mountain and enjoyed a goregous view the whole time (minus the rainy clouds the entire trip…).

While in TN we took Savannah to see the fishies and she had a stare down with the gigantic ones. I think the aquarium was the highlight of her trip, she is still talking about it nearly a month later.

By this point in March, Savannah had been teething her last molars (thank God!) and Mark had some serious strep throat issues before we left to TN in which I had two babies to pamper and I feared we would have to cancel our trip.

Then after spring break midterm papers and exams where due, so we all were busy and stressed.

But then, life settled down and we got some gorgeous family pictures done by a local photographer! They turned out AMAZING, I cannot wait to get prints and post my entire room with them.

Then at the end of March, it was MY turn to get sick. A cold turned into a nasty sinus infection/cough. However, I still managed to make it for a Victoria (and my family) visit last weekend! We painted pottery together and just enjoyed lots of late night chats among my coughing fits :-)

And then, less than a week later…we were surprised by this:

That’s right! Baby # 2 in on the way :-) It’s not exactly how we planned it, but we are thrilled non-the-less. Baby Snowball is due some time mid-December, which means I can still get summer and fall semesters done (I always go past my due date anyway, might as well be productive while I wait!). Then, I’ll take spring semester off so I can do all the baby wearing, nursing, stay-at-home-momming I want with TWO kids. 8 months later in August I’ll finish up my last semester and graduate in December 2010. Which, means I will only be 1 semester behind. Perfect timing if you ask me. Ya know, as far as unplanned things go.
Seriously though, we are excited as are all our parents and friends which is such a relief and NEW experience since I’ve had two other unplanned pregnancies that was met with grief the first few months. I guess being married and being more prepared pays off :-) So, expect this blog to take a new shift in writing topics as I go through this journey again in a whole new light.

Congratulations!!! Logan was a mid-December baby. :) Also, I graduated 1 semester late too, but with raising a family I still think that’s pretty darn good!

I am so excited for you. I am sure you don’t feel good. I am glad school is going to work out like that for you. It will be hard the last little bit but I am so glad I did it the way I did. If I can help with anything please let me know.

Aww, congrats again! I’m happy for you and your family. Good for you for taking a semester off. I had my daughter during fall semester and went right through because I didn’t want to delay graduation, but it was ROUGH. Looking back, I wish I had taken that semester off. Plus, you’ll have TWO little ones, so taking that time off is definitely needed!! Congrats again! (And you’re right, those pics are GOREGOUS. What a beautiful family.)
