It's been a while!

Sorry I haven't updated this in soooo long. Things have been quite busy here. We got quite a bit done on the house last weekend. Tim and his dad got all the baseboards in place and the cabinet doors up. We got most of the painting that was left to do in the kitchen done. I actually had the house clean for a day or so, but that never lasts long around here. We are getting ready to host a small group starting next weekend, assuming we are not in the hospital.

We are pretty much ready for this little one's arrival. It's amazing what I know doesn't really have to be done right away this time. Most of this pregnancy has just flown by, but the past couple of weeks have drug on and on. My due date is April 8th, but it looks like I may be getting a bit of a break with an induction if he's not here by April 1st. For those of you who haven't heard, his name will be Quintin Glenn. Quintin was the only name that we both liked. It took us forever to come to an agreement on that. Glen was his uncle who died in childhood of leukemia.

The ladies at our church gave me an awesome baby shower. My sister-in-law came in for the weekend with her 2 kids. Then they surprised me by having my mom there when I arrived. That was a very nice surprise. It was actually her anniversary present from my dad. She got to be there and got her Titus fix and we had a good time. Thank you to all who have sent gifts. Real thank you notes are coming, I promise.

Here is a little collage I made of Titus pictures. I guess I will be making a new one soon to get both boys in.

Just a little update.

I know it has been too long. We are just puttering along here. Still working on the house when we can, trying to keep up with everyday life and have a little fun here and there. There's not too much time for that, but what can you do?
Tim and Titus have been sick lately. Right at the tail end of that, Titus had a horrible bout with teething. He's seems to be feeling better, though I can't see where any teeth actually made it though. Poor kid. Tim seems to be getting over it too. Hopefully that's the worst of it for this year. Not likely though with Titus in his first year of daycare.

He has gotten to be a really good walker lately. He got lots of practice when he when to Aunt Rebecca's. He didn't have to hang out in the playpen so much. Her house is really well baby-proofed. He got to give his cousin Caleb a good lesson in sharing before the next cousin comes along (sometime in the next few days, most likely.) Apparently sharing is not Caleb's favorite thing. Titus, for the most part, could have cared less. He just moved on to another toy. At the end of the visit, he started sticking up for himself a little, but he's pretty laid back. We all got sick while we were there. That was really not fun. Tim and Logan went on their camping/hunting trip, but were not able to get anything. They were sick too. Really a bad time overall to get a stomach bug.

Tim's Aunt Suzanne starts her chemothrapy for breast cancer today, so keep her in your prayers. She is in for some pretty intense treatment because she has a particularly agressive type of cancer. Pray that she will tolorate the chemo and radiation well.

Things are good so far with our next little one. I have an appointment next week. We'll keep you posted. One of the nurses at work was able to find the heartbeat last week, which was a blessing since they weren't able to hear anything at my first appointment.

Well, I'm going to try to get some picures up shortly. More later.

Just another day...

Not too much new or exciting is going on, but things are going pretty well. Titus started daycare last week and really seems to like it. Tim says he's the only kid that is not fuussing when he drops him off. The first day I went to pick him up, he looked up at me and went right back to the toys. However, another boy grabbed my leg for dear life. Titus is so good natured. He is walking all over the place. Ever since he got any confidence at all, he's been more concerned about speed than grace, so he stumbles a lot, but he looks so proud when he walks around the house. He even moved up to the toddler nursery at church.

I'm at the really tired all the time and not liking eating so much stage of things, but other than that, I'm doing pretty well. My first appointment is in few weeks, but it's just a nurse info intake appt, so nothing exciting for a couple of months, I'm sure. That's fine with me, the less excting, the better when it comes to pregnancy. Please keeping praying for a healthy baby for us. No names picked out yet.

Tim has started working full time. He likes the job in general, although the other guys there are having a hard time accepting him and they seem to enjoy making things difficult for him and trying to keep "in line." Not that he is doing anything wrong. There's just a big generation gap. Pray for the transition to smooth out for him.

We still have so much to do on the house and so many boxes to unpack. It's hard to find the right order to get things done and finding a place to start. Mostly, life in general is busy enough with us both working full time and having a 1 year old that we never feel like we get much done in a day. Tim gets so much more done than I do. Hopefully it will feel like home eventually.

Not much else. As soon as find the battery charger to my camera, I can take some more picutres and get them posted. We love you all!
