The Zoo

My sister Amanda and her 2 girls have been visiting this week from Phoenix. We have loved being able to see and hang out with them everyday. Today we decided to head to the zoo. (No visit to Omaha is complete without a stop at the zoo!) We contemplated changing plans after predictions of rain/snow this morning, but lucky for us, it stayed dry, and everyone else stayed home, meaning the zoo was quite empty! My sister-in-law Jacque and her 4 kids joined us, as well as my mom and one other cousin. So with 4 adults, 9 kids, and a mostly empty zoo, we had a great time! We love hanging out with our cousins!!

New Year, New Changes

2011 brought many big changes for us. John graduated from business school and got a new job, we moved to Omaha, NE, and we bought our first house. I thought 2012 might be relatively low-key in comparison, but we do have one big change coming to our house. In May we will be welcoming baby #3, a girl to our family!!

My pregnancy has gone well so far. Of course the first trimester was pretty miserable, but now I feel great. Makenna is SO excited to be a big sister again, and is always wanting to feel the baby kick. She also likes to point out to me on a daily basis that the baby and my belly are getting bigger!
