still no baby

So, the baby counter to the side here counts the days over due after hitting zero, thats cool-just in case I need a little reminder. the update is: lots of contractions that at times have been every three minutes apart for hours, but currently off and on. occasional nausea, frustration and trying to smile and laugh when people say "whoa, you are still pregnant", and for everyone's information I really do not want a c-section until either the baby or I am not doing well. so, we wait and try to go about our days as normal as possible. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive. We will keep you informed. --Mandy

Is it really about the game?

Who cares who won or lost? The most fun was having our friends over for good food and entertainment. I don't think anyone was able to watch more than half of the the game. Between feeding our bellies and our kids bellies and mediation between the toddlers the game was more or less background entertainment. But the kids had fun (as seen in the photos) and the adults could just hang out. And by the looks of it Aaron's apple beer was pretty strong stuff.

Best of 2007

Welcome 2008

The Holidays were a lot of fun. We loved having a toddler for Christmas and we learned that one or two match box cars makes Christmas truley magical. Aaron is doing well with school out for now and a few days off of work, Mandy only gained 6 lbs during the holidays and that is good, and Porter is completely obcessed with CARS.
2008 started off with a full day of college football, food, friends, family, and kids running around the house does it get any better than that? New Year resolutions include gaining weight before losing weight and once again to finish remodeling the house and maybe even get a yard for the kids to play in. We are looking forward to a new year and saying so long to 2007.
