Catching Up

Oil and water, nursing school and blogging, one in the same.  Let's play a little catch up.

Summer brought two additions to our family.  First, this little guy, who came out delectably perfect.

And has grown into this yumminess.

Then came Pixie.  Tipping the scales at 3lbs. 3oz. at 7 months old she has wiggled into our hearts.                                                                                                                   





My Mom and I went to Virginia when the little one was born.  We spent about two weeks hugging, cuddling, and loving the new guy.  We did sneak off a few time and do some sightseeing too. 

At the Potomac Riverwalk

Then Phil and I went to Virginia.  More hugging, snuggling, loving, and sightseeing.



Since it is against Phil's religion to take pictures off the camera - this is actually a picture of the Capitol Building I took when I was there with my Mom.  Since it looked the same 2 months later when Phil and I were there, it seemed okay to use.  Our real pictures are tucked away safe and sound on the memory card. 

Moving on...

She is going to be a big sister.  She broke the news by announcing “my Mommy’s tummy is going to have a baby!”  So we excitedly await the end of May when her Mommy’s tummy will birth the next niece or nephew.

Only one more semester and my classmates and I can sport some awesome nursing wear and graduate!  But only if I survive having Satan as one of my main instructors.

Oh, and we’re expecting…a phone call. We finished the 9,384,548,878,497 pages of paperwork to prove that we are keeping absolutely no secrets from anyone.  We did the required 8,968,513,578 modifications to our home to guarantee that the level of baby proofing would in fact keep Phil and I from accessing anything sharp, potentially sharp, poisonous, potentially poisonous, flammable, potentially flammable, dangerous, or potentially dangerous (get the idea) in our home.  We are ready and waiting. Actually, ready to wait.  Getting that phone calls sometime next June (after graduation, see above) would be amazing.  We've waited over 5 years already, what's another six months or so.  If it comes before that we will enjoy a wild ride on the "It Was Meant To Be" train.
