A couple of things...

So I'll post this and then I'll get down to posting pictures of the visit from my brothers.
On Thursday, March 12, we went to a Foundation dinner which was a nice night out by ourselves and was completely free except for the parking...which was minimal (hurray for free!). It was a little fancy and I always find myself a bit under-dressed but I'm not sure I'm really bothered by that, and maybe I should be. Anyhow. It was a dinner/silent auction to raise funds for this Foundation and I would have loved to have bid on something since I LOVE auctions, but the starting bids where just about at the top of my budget range so I didn't even bother. The food was good and the people at our table were fun and the speakers weren't very long winded so over all a pleasant evening.

John and a couple of the guys practicing before hand. They were there to present and post the flags.
The honor guard. Not a great picture but the best one I was able to take.


And a random picture of MF's hair. It took a little bit but she loved it in the end. I used to do this with my own hair in college...oh so many years ago.

I like the hair. My girls would never sit still that long!

We picked the name Russell, since you missed it in my blog. Trevor did grow on me but didn't sound right for a middle name :(

That's totally fine. :0)
We thought we had a name picked out but now we are involved in the great debate and neither of us like what the other picks...funny how easy MF's name was. I'm sure we'll get there. We still have half way to go. :0)

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
