Wednesday Morning

The time has come and we have had the big arrival day of mystery girl number three moved up to Wednesday. After a week of the stomach flu, I am sooooo ready to have her come. I think the flu combined with her recent relentless kicking routine from about 10:00pm - 1:00 or so in the morning has been given to me for a purpose. I am now ANXIOUSLY anticipating her arrival. We have always been ecstatic to have a third but have been enjoying sleeping at night and family activities with just the two to keep track of. Hopefully pictures will be posted next weekend.

We are still accepting name ideas......so feel free.

Our Town

Hailey received a karaoke machine for Chrismas this year. The three CD's she has are HS Musical 1 & 2 and Cars. This morning she was listening to the cars music while just reading the lyrics on the screen. Here are some of the lyrics to Our Town:

Long ago

But not so very long ago

The world was different

Oh yes, it was

You settled down

And you built a town

And made it live

And you watched it grow

It was your town

Time goes by

And time brings changes

And you change too

Nothing else comes you can't handle

So on you go

You never see it coming

When the world caves in on you

On your town

Theres nothing you can do

Hailey came to me and said that her town was Tucson and she wanted to know when we were going to go back again. Hailey and I took a short trip back in December and I think it made things worse. It broke her heart when we moved over a year ago and she still is getting over it. She still asks why we had to move. Sometimes, like this morning, I feel like I am breaking it all over again regardless of the fact that she has more friends and family here than there. It doesn't help that her dad is there again on business for the 7th or so time. I no longer subscribe to the fact that kids (especially Hailey) will not remember this or that because they are little. It is amazing the impact of the first 4 1/2 years of her life.

How would you vote?

This Super Duper Tuesday I have been thinking about my voting strategy.

1) Do I vote for who I like?

2) Do I vote for who I think has the best shot of winning in my party?

3) Or since I live midst a sea of conservatives where Romney will most likely win no matter what I do, should I vote for the candidate in the democratic party whom I would like to see the Republican run against? (for both entertainment and strategic purposes - okay mainly entertainment)

Hmmmm.......

Another December Pic

Chillin' on the couch....
Watchin' a little tv......

Great December Pic

A little bit less than thrilled about the weather

Winter Fun

We took some pics when the sun has come out. (These were last week or earlier) The kids love to sit in the wagon starting at the neighbors driveway and go down the sidewalk luge. I thing it is actually safer with the snow walls on each side. They just kind of bounce off avoiding a crash.
