I'm exhausted...

I drove an hour and a half each way to Cincinnati to pick up my 12 year old brother, Andrew from the airport. He'll be staying with us for about a week and a half while my parents-in-love go to Cancun for a romantic getaway. It was quite a day, driving three hours in 90 degree weather with no airconditioning, not to mention the fact that I now have a precious little built-in two-pound heater living inside of me who thinks my bladder is kinda cushy and likes to kick it! (which means I had to stop multiple times for the bathroom) *sighs* Needless to say, I'm worn out! So tonight we're going to break out the popcorn, kick up our feet and watch a movie I've been wanting to see for a while!

My scrapbook buddy

Kristen and I get together every Wednesday to scrapbook together. It's fun to look forward to, the fellowship is sweet, and it motivates me to get albums finished!

(he was tooting)

she's not even born yet....

...and she already has more shoes than I do!!



Mother came to visit me and brought with her a duffle bag stuffed full of little girl things from an absolutely wonderful, generous lady from church in San Antonio. (Thank you, Diana!!) I was overwhelmed as I pulled out little outfits, blankets, bibs, and shoes! We are blessed beyond words....

expiration dates

Last night Aaron and I were in the kitchen making Thai beef noodle soup, and we noticed that the bag of bean sprouts we had purchased that afternoon was two days past it's expiration date. Of course we were miffed that we had not checked the date before buying it, and I said, "Well... I guess that teaches us to be more careful about checking to make sure things are not past their due date when we buy them!" He heartily agreed.

....about two minutes later, I stopped and looked at Aaron and said, "Wow.... did you hear what I just said? I called the expiration date a due date!!.... I think I've been pregnant too long!!" He laughed and said, "You know what's even funnier? It sounded so normal that I didn't even notice!"
