Pruning

Sometime we just hit a time in our lives where we have to take a good look at what we're doing and ask ourselves, "Is this really worth my time?" This has happened to me in the last couple of weeks. And baby, it feels good.

I've reduced my time on certain internet sites, I've completely deleted my facebook account (yes, it CAN be done!), and I have whittled down my twitter list.

I have also been clearing out my house, preparing for our move in the fall. I've been getting rid of lots of stuff, and it feels good every time I go to GoodWill or take another bag out to the trash.

Pruning is good!

Oh, Shoot! I Forgot!

I forgot to update my blog with the ultrasound results!

It's. A. GIRL!

Pink will now explode all throughout my house. :)

And for those of you keeping score, this now makes three boys and two girls.

What TV show makes you laugh the loudest?

The Big Bang Theory, hands down.

Ask me anything

I'm in the Christmas spirit and would like to know: what is your favorite Christmas movie (and why)?

LOL I left this late!

My absolute favorite Christmas movie is "Meet Me In St. Louis". I know, I know, not a completely Christmasy movie, but part of it does take place at Christmas and one the the best-loved Christmas songs came from that movie. Plus I just love the story of the family and the humor. Great film!

Thinking of great girl names... Elle

That is a really pretty name!

We are considering Abigail, Elizabeth, Hannah, Rachel, Emma, Rose, and probably a few others that I can't think of right now. :)

Ask me anything

Are you doing any sewing projects?

Right now I am knitting up baby girl things like crazy! I have already completed a pair of booties, I'm almost finished with a pair of Mary Janes, and I am also working on bibs.

I do have a robe that I owe my other daughter from her birthday that I need to put together on the sewing machine. I should probably do that soon!

Ask me anything

What is the best book you have ever read?

This is a really difficult question, as I have read a lot of really good books. Mostly it depends on what mood I'm in. Right now I would have to say that Pride and Prejudice is probably my favorite at the moment. I can read it again and again and I never tire of it. I glean something new with each read and I always get goosebumps at the end.

Of course, if I'm in a sci-fi mood I would have to say Dune, and if I'm in a fantasy mood I would choose The Lord of the Rings. I also enjoy To Kill a Mockingbird, the Harry Potter series, anything C.S. Lewis, etc.

Ask me anything

I'm Back!

Yes, I know that it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I have updated. Yes, I know I need to post some pictures of the kids. Yes, I'm going to update more often.

Check back later for ultrasound results!
