It's been too long..

Well hello there dear blog friends,

It has been way too long since my last post. That will change. I am waiting to get my laptop back from the doctor and then I will catch you all up on what has been happening, as well as catch up on my blog reading.

Eggs!

Our chickens have finally started laying eggs! Jon went out to refill the chicken feeder and I headed outside a few minutes later to see Jon and Brooklyn walking up to the house with 5 eggs in hand. It took me a minute to realize that the eggs were from our very own chickens....at first I was like, "Um, why are Jon and Brooklyn walking around with eggs? That's so strange!"

and then it hit me and I got soooo EGG-cited!!!
My little egg retriever:)
I love our farm life:)

My new favorite blog:)

Okay folks,
So my sister Patricia is an English teacher in Taiwan and she has started her own blog all about her adventures. So far there are only a few posts, but each one has made me laugh....partly because I know her and can picture her awkward hilariousness as she does things, but mostly because she is just straight up funny. She has a different way of looking at things already and then you throw her into a different culture and she just cracks me up! Anyway, go check it out:)

Lazy Sunday Morning...

It is Sunday morning and instead of being at church, which is where I want to be, I am at home. Yesterday kicked my butt so hard that I woke up exhausted, with every muscle in my body heavy with soreness. Is that even a word? Oh well. What did I do yesterday? I went to a baby shower for my friend Tammi, went to the mall to get soap(on the Saturday before school starts...OMG I wanted to hurt people), and then went to a house warming party at Patrick and Bethany's house, all while working on my current project of growing a small human being.

School starts tomorrow...Brooklyn starts first grade! We are all so excited because we got a great teacher and are looking forward to what this new school year will bring. I'm going to cry tomorrow, so hopefully I remember the waterproof mascara and my big sunglasses:)

31 Weeks

That's right! Only 9 +/- weeks to go until we get to meet our baby boy. Jon had a dream two nights ago that made me laugh and then shudder:

When our son is a toddler, he's gonna look like Chuck Liddell with a buzz-cut mohawk and goatee, and his nickname is "Tank"

Oh man! So now we are calling him Tank. With how hard he kicks me in the ribs and hip bones I am thinking this nickname is spot on.
