SOMETHING HAD TO GIVE

Outside of work, church obligations, and having family in town I've had a very busy schedule of eating, sleeping, and throwing up. So you know... something had to give. And that ended being this blog. Sorry blog. I hope you missed me, because I missed you. I'll try to be a better blog mom.

This hiatus sadly coincided with So Can Dance. But instead of playing catch up I'll give you an Awesomeness Ranking and we'll move on from there.

1. Neo 2.0
3. Ryan (tie)
3. Doug E. Doug (tie)
4. Anti - Legacy (and Independence, for those Plano-ites out there)

4. Lolita


By way of catch up here are a few orders of business from the past month:

Brad suprised me with tickets to see In The Heights. I told him in July how much I wanted to see it when it came to St. Louis in November and he actually remembered! I guess carrying ones child does have its perks. It was excellent. I had only heard a little of the music before and I didn't know the story line at all. The sound of the production was a little off so we had a hard time hearing what they were saying, especially since they sing their dialogue a mile a minute. But Brad and I were humming the tunes the rest of the week. We even liked our lead better than the one on the broadway cast soundtrack.


We also had my brother's family and my mom come to Alton for Thanksgiving this year. We had a great time eating, shopping and going to the St. Louis zoo. And Ryan and Iain could not possible be any sweeter. Especially Iain, the first moment he walked in our house he gave Brad a big hug and then told me how much he loved me. Adorable. Kids are alright.



And for those perceptive readers who weren't previously informed. We have an additional family member arriving early next June. I'm pretty sure he or she will be made entirely of hamburgers because that's all I can keep down right now. Let's just say my doctor was not pleased with the amount of weight I've gained so far, I'll probably need a triple bypass sometime next July. We'll find out the gender January 5th... let the guessing games begin.
