We're pregnant!
She's 14 weeks along, due May 14, 2009, and Mama and Baby are doing great! The ultrasound picture below was taken November 10.
And no, we're not going to find out what it is, so don't ask.

Africa




Our humble little zoo just opened a Africa exhibit. We now have lions and giraffes. The kids saw the giraffe heads poking over the fence when we were biking past and the begging commenced. They had to wait until the following Thursday (Thursday being the half price zoo admission day) and then we bundled up and headed out. My friend Whitney met me there with her little ones, Savannah and Addie. Ethan and Savannah were in heaven. They have a "thing" for each other. Savannah has informed her mom that Ethan is sexy and she is going to marry him. Ethan has informed me he loves papa more than me, but Savannah more then papa.

Once again we are slacking
Life is a little nuts right now, so the whole blog thing has fallen by the wayside. Someday I will add some cute pictures and funny quotes, but right now I am just letting my adoring public know that we haven't forgotten you.
Michael is gone ALL THE TIME. We knew it was going to happen, but it is still hard. Thankfully he is doing well in all of his classes and work still loves him. His family is another matter though. Actually Ethan told me the other day, "Mama, I want you to go to school, and work, and do homework, because I love Papa a lot more then I love you." Just warmed the very cockles of my heart. Ungrateful little toad. I will try to post some pictures soon, but be very surprised if I get anything posted before Halloween.

Where does she come up with these things?
We were all in the car coming home from dinner with the in-laws. Michael and I got in a conversation over which of us is better looking. We, being the good parents we are, drug our kids into the middle of the fight.
"Ethan, who is better looking, mama or papa?" My dear husband asks.
"Um...Papa is."
Well, then I needed to ask Libby in hopes of evening the score.
"Libby, who is better looking, mama or papa?"
"Umm....um...I AM." followed by giggles.
****
Yesterday, the kids and I were taking the trash down. I stopped in surprise and pointed into the tree. There were three fuzzy gray and black raccoons. We stared at them and they stared at us. Ethan was fascinated. Libby was terrified. She is not an animal lover by nature, and wild animals in her tree was just to much for her. She was crying and fussing. She finally conceded to inch past the tree, as long as I stood between her and the raccoons. We got down to the dumpster and Libby finally regained her ability to talk.
"Mama, the rattoons scared me."
"I know, baby."
"The rattoons really, really scared me."
"I know."
"My eyebrows were scared of the rattoons."
"Ethan, who is better looking, mama or papa?" My dear husband asks.
"Um...Papa is."
