True, I have been a terrible blogger....but I have an explanation...

Okay, I have heard it from friends and family...everyone is tired of the Christmas in July post that has been up way too long with out any updates and I feel bad. I really do, but I feel like I have some great excuses.

 - we moved (while I was 7 months pregnant)
 - our computer is somewhat on the fritz - we got a quote from Dell for it to be fixed, however a call to India is not on the top of our priority list...
 - Libby is officially potty trained! (that took some time but I am so glad we are there)
 - I am very pregnant - baby boy is extremely strong  - this pregnancy has been tougher on me, having a toddler is not the most leisurely life (as most of you know)
But I feel pretty overwhelmed with trying to get things done for Libby's big girl room, the baby's nursery, making the new house more of a home, nesting, and Christmas - whew...just typing that sentence made me tired...

We spent the summer with Mimi and Pop (four months to be exact)...It was great; and after we moved out in September, it was nice at our new house with plenty of room - but it was quiet and we definitely missed them. We are 5 minutes away, but I got used to the adult company during the day and all the help with Libby. We moved out in late September and have been loving our new house.
I will post pictures soon...

Libby is very excited about welcoming her baby brother into the world...she knows that he will be here about the time Santa comes (or at least we are hoping he stays put that long).
She is extremely maternal and is obsessed with babies (not sure if that will be good or bad)...

Libby also started mothers day out this fall and LOVES it, I also enjoy the free time although I rarely take the time to relax...I have been blessed to be busy with clients and the house, so the days she is in school I am usually pretty busy myself...

Duck season is officially under way and Jeremy has been hunting twice - they had a great time and killed lots of birds - we are not sure what the next few weeks will bring...so I am I glad they have had a few good days of male bonding and shooting things.

I am planning to blog again soon with pictures of the house...until then enjoy the random pictures in this post!
