Anyone still out there???

For some odd reason I had an urge to blog today.  That hasn't happened in a long time...I wonder if anyone even checks this blog anymore. I have to admit the blogs have seem to lost their steam as a lot of my friends no longer blog.  It is sad because I love keeping up with friends and seeing pictures.  I remember when I first started blogging that I would constantly think of things that I wanted to blog about and now I just can't think of anything.  I don't know if my life has gotten that boring or...I don't know what has happened.

Anyway, I guess to give you a bit of an update on us.  We have now been in Texas for a whole year.  I love it out here especially now that we are surrounded by family.  I have my sister that is a mile away and Eric now has a sister and a brother that live within 2 miles away.  It is so much fun getting together for birthdays, holidays, and just for fun.  Eric's parents only live about 4 hours away and they come down often to visit so it is great to see them.

This year will be a busy one with Aaron starting the 1st grade in a couple of weeks and in the fall I have Kaylee in preschool.  It will be weird just having Alanna at home for a few hours three times a week.  I will definitely enjoy that time with her until March when baby#4 will be here.  That's right, I am 10 weeks pregnant with baby number FOUR.  (Still can't believe that I am going to a be a mom of 4 that is like hard core parenting)  We just told the kids a couple of days ago and they are thrilled.  Aaron really wants a brother.  I would keep hearing him around the house after I told him saying to himself, "yes, my mom is finally pregnant.  She is going to have a baby."  Kaylee would keep coming up to me touching my tummy saying, "you have a baby in your tummy?  Is the baby tired?  Are you going to the hospital?"  I would say they are excited.
So far the morning sickness has not been nearly as bad as it has been in the past.  I hope it stays this way because I have three kids to still take care of.  I am definitely tired all the time but at least I am not running to the bathroom every morning.  Here is a really cool shot of the ultrasound from the other day.  I am already in love. :)
