So excited and ready to join the blogging world again!

My new laptop just arrived today and I could not be more excited! I have not been blogging for a lack of having a good computer to do it on (and the fact that life has been a little crazy does not help) but I am back! Hopefully some of my readers have stayed around because obviously we have some really fun and exciting things happening in the next month, including the arrival of a new one at the end of the October.

I am just going to do a quick update from the last post which was so long ago! Our family is doing really well, Patrick finished his Masters program and got a nice upgrade at work and is now supervising two people. He is still doing a similar job to before but is officially faculty which brings a lot of perks, which includes a 4 week paternity leave when we have the baby! This could not have come at a better time and we are so excited that he will get more time at home with the family. He is enjoying not having to do homemork for the first time in 2 years and got to spend the end of the summer fishing with his dad, spending more time with Grace and I, and playing the new Playstation 3 that was his graduation gift from Grace and I.

Grace Marie has grown so much! She is such a sweet little girl and is very excited to be a big sister! She spent a week up north with my parents in August and has also had a lot of fun weekends with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Pam. She has definitely been spoiled, it should be interesting to see how she reacts when another little one is added to our house. She also started school at the end of August. She is only going one day a week to the on campus daycare, which is more of a school setting. She is still going to Tina’s two days a week and we think it is a good balance. Our plan is she will start going on campus three days a week once the baby starts going in January to Tina’s. She loves school and is always excited to bring home all of the fun things she creates.

I told Grace I was doing an update on her and I asked Grace what she would like me to share about herself and this is what she said:

I like puzzles and dollhouses. I also like bracelets and playing with letters. I really likes mommy and daddy and my room. I like my Super Why computer.

So there you have it, Grace is a busy girl and keeps us on our toes!

Baby #2 is doing great and the end of this pregnancy has just flown by. We have had a couple bumps in the road lately but I am feeling really good this weekend. I am 37 weeks today and can see the end that is finally in sight. She is quite the mover but nothing compared to Grace, especially at night. Grace always moved like crazy around 10pm and would keep me up for hours sometimes. This baby is a lot calmer at night and that has been so nice! I am so looking forward to meeting her and also to see how Pat handles this household of women! I am officially done with work on October 13th which I am sure means I will have the baby early because nothing goes as plans! I am looking forward to hopefully having a little down time before baby gets here at the end of October but we shall see!

So there is my short update! Hopefully you will be hearing from me a lot more, I am so excited to hopefully have time and a nice computer to keep everyone updated from once the baby is here!

I am going to do a couple picture updates to catch up so enjoy!
