To Appease the Grandparents :)

Here are some pictures of Christmas and Eve. I have a moment to take
a nap, so I'm going to forego details, but wanted to post these so you
could see our best Christmas gift ever!

Fwd: Pix of Warner

Warner had his Christmas concert on Wednesday.  I wish the pictures had captured his energy and enthusiasm.  He was singing so loudy and would just turn and smile at us after each song.  The music teacher asked him to play the wooden blocks during Up On the Housetop and he was beyond thrilled.  He is a joy to watch.

"Busted! Yesterday we found a unwrapped present on the stairs. No one would claim opening it. Today I caught the culprit mid-unwrap and surrounded by a pile of other opened presents. "

Baby Santa

38 weeks, no indication that Baby Santa is going to makes his/her debut anytime soon.  About as uncomfortable as ever.  Enough Braxton Hicks to make me hopeful and then discouraged.  Still hoping for 12-12-13 or 12-13-13 so I can easily remember this little one's birthday.  Babe is getting stronger and stronger each day and Mudgie likes to remind me that I'm getting bigger and bigger.  He keeps asking me how he'll know when the baby comes out. . . I'm thinking it will be extremely obvious.

Get ready.  Get set.  Contractions (PLEASE!!!)

36 1/2 weeks

I'm not a big fan of the belly shot. Perhaps I'll take a decent one
after I do the laundry and on a day I acutally put on makeup. Today
was not that day.

Babywise, things are going well. I feel like I've really popped out
all of a sudden. Every night I get contractions, but only enough to
get my hopes up before they dwindle. I'm still playing basketball and
walking, but today I could really feel the toll after running up and
down the court. My nights are still hit and miss with heartburn
and/or insomnia. This baby is getting stronger and I'm always amazed
at how my belly can move and shake.

I know what I'm asking Santa for this year. . . I just hope he
delivers (literally) EARLY!

MM we LOVE YOU

Mormon Messages, we LOVE you!!

Pre-K

Mudgie fights me everyday about going to preschool. I think he just
enjoys the battle, because I don't believe there is any direct
correlation with preschool itself. He has been having such a great
year. He is talking so much better and loves to make the projects and
play with the toys.

Last week was their annual stone soup party and Thanksgiving
celebration. Doesn't he make a cute pilgrim!
