Family update




Thought I should update on what's happening w/ everyone in the fam.  Nate just doesn't get enough shout-outs on the blog, let's face it.  He's working hard at a job which he loves to support us fabulously.  Over the summer, he picked up the hobby of road biking which has been keeping him busy.  Thankfully, we live in an area with gorgeous roads with lots of bikers, so he has beautiful rides, and I worry less since they are fairly bike-friendly.  He's the best at tea-parties with Claire, and is just awesome.
 Claire will be 2 in November, and she's just been a lot of fun recently.  She has been starting to come up with and say some really funny things, and is an absolute sweetheart.  She could have a tea party all day if you let her, loves her babies, and going outside.  Recently she's been either wanting to "See something else" or eat "Something else", so I'm taking that as a compliment that she's been stimulated to a level where she now needs to be stretched... She's starting to get a bit particular as to what she wants to wear that day, and which shoes.  She loves pumpkins and Christmas, and Christopher Robin (no idea why).
And, I guess it's time to blog-announce that I am carrying another!  We're all really excited, though I definitely have my moments of "How am I going to do 2?"  Baby is due late February, and I've been feeling great.  This is me at 17 weeks (currently the only pregnancy picture on record), and we find out the gender next week.  We couldn't be happier.  Other than that, I've been staying busy with Claire, part-time work, Downton Abbey, and the usual mom stuff.  So there's the update!

Woohoo! So thrilled for you! You look amazing! I can't believe Claire is almost two? Wow! She is a cutie! I also decided that Steve and Nate would be great friends if we ever got them together. The road biking, the love of sports etc. etc. Someday! Miss and love you!
