Happy New Year

the holiday's are over. we had new years and our 3rd christmas.

we're home and all the visitors have returned to their homes.

i thought that this would mean a little bit of a rest, but it doesn't seem in the forecast.... at least for this week.

it's busy with dentists and doctors, translating, funerals, more doctors, and wrapping up unfinished business from 2009.

and i've got a nasty sore throat on top of it all, i never knew salivary glands could hurt... thus the extra dr. apt.

i'm excited for things to get back to normal.

maria in her own bed... working on sleeping thru the whole night.
nap times on schedule.
blogging a little more regularly.
skyping with marco.
trying to pick out a baby boy name.


i'm 26 weeks pregnant now. things are still going smoothly... no gall bladder attacks this time around (thank heaven that's gone). hopefully this sore throat is nothing and I'll wake up cured tomorrow. baby x (that's what i call him right now) is moving around a LOT. after one of our traveling days, i don't think that he was too happy with me for sitting in a car for so long and started doing karate in my stomach.... not very pleasant.

Maria is growing like a little weed.... she's almost as tall as her cousin Lily, and wears 18-24 month clothes. She's so smart too... loves the insy weensy spider and knows the hand motions. She also loves i wanna be a dog (by charlotte diamond) and knows to pant, and growl, and howl.... it's so cute!!

Marco is doing good. trying to keep busy with work so he doesn't notice that he misses us so bad.

I'm putting the finishing touches on my new years resolutions. My S-I-L was talking about how they should be S.M.A.R.T. ... and so I'm tweaking just a little bit.

Here's to a New Year...



PS... if you could send your prayer's to Natalie and her family right now, they sure could use them... their little 8 week old boy is pretty sick and in the hospital now.. her blog is
