Welcome New Year!!

Even though I don't have pictures to post right now (computer is DEAD!!). I was in the mood to say a quick hello. Hello!! Chad spent from 2am to 7am on New Years trying to fix our computer to no avail. So I am typing this from my new netbook---love it love it love it. Chad will have to work his magic to get our pictures from the hard drive--I'm not stressed about it right now. I just love my new little toy. Cam likes that I can be upstairs checking email instead of "always in the basement".

We had a magnificent Christmas!! Nice and quiet. Chad had the entire week after Christmas off of work. I totally thought I would be sick of him, but we really do get along well and I hated seeing him off on the 4th. Believe me, so did the boys. The three of them played and played the entire break. We did one activity every day--which was perfect. Then the three boys disappeared into the basement for hour upon hour of video games---meh-it was Christmas. Although, they got daily reminders that once school started up again they would only be able to play video games Friday after school and Saturdays. Which is where the three of them are at this moment. Coming from a fam of all girls I am still mystified by the video game thing, but it definitely has its good points.

January and February are normally my most disliked months. Big time!!! But it is nice to have my mind distracted with preparations for little Abby Kate. This little fam is so stinkin' excited to have her come. Although I still get a little nauseous when I see another newborn---the thoughts of everything that comes with a newborn makes me a bit sick. Hopefully time and Zoloft at 34 weeks will help with that. hahaha!! I have been making hair klippies like crazy---matching all of her cutsie little outfits. The other night I couldn't sleep and I stumbled on organza flowers on Etsy. So I googled the instructions and yes, we have a new obsession. Oh, they are fun and so pretty. Although there are little bits of organza all over my house and I have burned my thumb more times that I can count.

Chad gave me the complete Ally MacBeal collection. I am enjoying it so much. The series started my first year at Weber State and all of my roommates loved it. We all made sure to be home at 8:00 on Mondays to watch. Such good memories. Seriously great memories. At the time I thought it was kind of naughty, but it really is tame in comparison to todays standards. Not really a good thing.

So my little fam is starting 2010 off well. The boys are happy, and I am busy with Ally MacBeal, making hair accessories, making an embroidered receiving blanket, piecing a baby quilt, designing and making birth announcements, getting a nursery ready. That should seem overwhelming, but it's actually "Kami Nirvana". And I wonder why I don't get much sleep sometimes.

  6. I was so happy to see a new post! I guess I am out of it but what is a netbook? Is it like a kindle but a computer? How is her room coming along? are you painting and decorating that as well. I bet it is so cute. She is so lucky to come to a family that is so excited for her to come.
