Happy New Year 1-10-2009

Well,here it is the first week of January has come and gone. Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. We had such a good time. The kids were so excited about Christmas this year. It was fun having our own house to decorate. I thought I would rip all that stuff down and clean my house properly right after New Years, but that has not happened. I decided since I'm pregnant I don't have to make any resolutions this year. I'm not going to get all ambitious and become organized. I am not going to lose any weight in fact I'm going to continue to gain for a couple of months. I am not even going to exercise. Wow that felt very liberating. I'll face the music soon this summer when I can't hide behind my big wool coat anymore. Come to think of it the last time I tried to button that big wool coat it didn't work. I guess I'll have to get something a little larger to hide behind. Hans took his state boards on Wednesday and now it is official. He is a nurse. We are very excited about him getting a good job after being a college student for so many years. I wish I could see him at work, but I know he's going to be a great nurse. I don't think he quite knows what to do with himself now that he doesn't have to study every night. Everybody knows about all the snow we have been having. Thanks to Bob's descriptive updates.:) I honestly loved having a tons of snow over Christmas time. It's beautiful and just makes Christmas more magical. Truth be told I'm sick of it now. I can't do much in it when I'm pregnant except totally freak out when the roads are icy which is all the time. That has kept me in the house way more than I am used to. No quick runs down to Spokane or Bonners I even think twice before going into Newport. Needless to say I am getting a severe case of cabin fever. We are all very anxious for our little baby to arrive. It seems like a long time since we have had a baby in the house. I cannot wait. Hope I didn't bore you with my endless rambling.I'm trying to avoid my stack of dirty dishes and my endless pile of unfolded laundry. Not to mention a very naughty little puppy making some chewing noises in the kitchen. Sorry still no pictures. Hopefully we can get a camera soon. Have a lovely day. Jo
