Good-Bye Summer

Wow.  I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've been here.  Time sure does fly when you're busy!

Well, let's catch up...Last week we found out that the Tiny News is a GIRL!  Her name will be Madeleine Grace.  She's still due on 2/2/09, but I have a feeling she'll be arriving sometime in January.  We're now almost 21 weeks along and I feel her kicking and moving all the time now.  She's quite active!  

Benjamin has started his Montessori preschool.  He loves it.  The first few days were a little nerve-wracking, since he was not ok with being left at school.  He's in the groove now and just loves going.  I love it because it gives me three mornings a week where I have some "me" time and I can pick up the house in peace!  Plus, I love that it's structured more towards academics, than play - and I think he likes that too.

David & I are leaving on Tuesday for Cancun, Mexico.  We are going for 8 days and I can't wait.  We both need a break and some "us" time, especially before our new arrival arrives.

Summer is heading out the door and Fall has pretty much arrived.  Summer wasn't here for long this year.  It was late in arriving and early in leaving.  We had tons of rain this year too.  Our poor boat was not put to work as much as we had hoped.  What with oil prices so high, it's too bad Summer took early leave too!  We, or should I say - David, got the deck stained this past weekend so it's protected from all the snow we're bound to get.  The cats are back home as of today and seem to be thrilled.  Charlie just jumped out of the van and laid right down in the driveway.  Right at home!  Edd & Maiser took their time sniffing around first.  They're so skeptical.

I guess that's about all that going on lately.  I'm sure as I get more pregnant and end up being cooped up because of the weather - I'll be on more and have "lots" to say, err...rant.  LOL!

Hope you all had great summers!  Here's to a fun Fall!
