Baby?

We've had a bit of a stressful few weeks. In a rather sudden manner, Chris and I decided to pull Mya out of her preschool and enroll her in a new Montessori that opened around our base. We always wanted her in a Montessori, but it wasn't an option last year. Needless to say, we jumped at the opportunity. That being said, it has placed a burden on us. The hours are shorter, which means we need additional care in the afternoon and we had to revamp our morning routine. We are 1 week into it and the "new" routine is changing once again. Stressful! I can't wait until we are back to the mundane, every day is the same type  life.
All that said because I needed to bring the girls to my first OB/nurse appointment. I loaded up the Ipad, Ipods and thought they'd sit contently. Ha. Not so much. I neglected to share with the nurse that we had not told our children about our impending change. Claire watched a movie for a few minutes, then nestled comfortably on my  lap. Not minutes later, she whispered in my ear, " Momma, I think she is telling you that you have a baby in your tummy." I responded with "hmmm." So wise that one. She is a snoopity snoop and not much gets past her. She kind of let it go, but mentioned it again on the way out. I said, "I wasn't sure," and that we'll have to wait and see. She became quite excited and shared how much of a help she would be with a new baby. I know she will be. I will have two of the greatest helpers. They will make my life so much easier though I envision the need to referree with the baby as the desired item.
So many adventures await...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
