Countdown continues...

One week to go and praying this guy does not decide to come early.  We are still not ready. Need to move some furniture, pick a middle name, get Shane on a better wake-up schedule than 3am. There will always be some excuse I suppose.
Anyways, Jackson enjoyed his first day of camp yesterday and his first big adventure to Playland last week. It was an evening work function for Jason so Shane was too pooped to make it but Jackson was a trooper. I probably should not have been the one to take him on the first ride which was some sort of caterpillar that bounced up and down in a circle for what seemed like an eternity.But Jason was off getting me some pizza since round 1 of dinner was not enough. Oh and since every possible thing from games, to rides to food was free -I used my 9 month pregnant state to my advantage and did not pass up the good stuff. Candy apples, cotton candy, Carvel, funnel cake. You name it - I tried it all...guilt-free. And Jackson was a happy camper too. All we heard all night was "more" "more" "more".

Anybody out there???

This is probably a big waste of time. I'm sure all of our great friends and family that used to come and check on us have long since given up. Can't blame you since it has been well over a year since our last post. But, with baby number 3 just 5 weeks away, I thought I would give this one more shot. "He" deserves to at least have his moment online like his older brothers did.
So a lot has happened in a year, aside from being pregnant again!! We have bought some land in north Raleigh and are in the early stages of designing a house that will hopefully be complete by this time next year.  So long NY. This should come as a surprise to no-one since we have been talking about this day for well over a decade. Yet it actually was a surprise those closest to us. Funny how no one pays attention!
We are very excited about this move but are quite nervous about building a house from afar. It is not like we can run to Raleigh at the drop of a hat. As if we did not have enough going on at the moment! Should be quite interesting. Regardless of the additional chaos about to ensue, enjoy how the boys (and their mom) have grown. Pics are in no particular order.......
