we can now return to our regularly scheduled programming…

gesh! did you miss me?! I sure missed writing an actual blog post and y’all of course. While doing giveaways are great and I am so  thankful for all of my new readers :::waves hi::: it’s just nice to get back to what I really love, writing (and gushing on a time or two). Life has been normal here, we had a great low-key Thanksgiving which I am uber thankful for since I got in some much needed sleep and spent Black Friday with my Mom and Sissy. Last week my Mom came and stayed with me while Jim was away on business, we had an ultrasound for B’s kidneys (more on that later) and I had my six-week post-partum appointment. Now, we are on the countdown to sweet P’s second birthday which is in twelve days! We haven’t made any plans which saddens me in a way but I am planning on doing some fun decorations to surprise her when she wakes up that morning, probably a trip to Seaworld that day since our passes expire on NYE and then my parents arrive home that evening from their cruise. I am even trying to organize a small get together with her friends at Kidding Around so she can play and have some of mommy’s cupcakes! Time seems to be slipping away now that we have two kids, I mean time flew before but I cannot believe how fast time is passing. I really wish I could slow this season down a tad, we are trying to pack in enough but it’s like each day fast forwards to 4 PM and then we start all over. On another note, Jim has been working on our bathroom remodel. The tile has been laid, the toilet is ready to go back into place and we just need to purchase our new vanity. We decided to keep the marble that was in the shower, it doesn’t necessarily match the floor tile but neither of us want to know what lies behind that wall, so it will stay for the next owner to deal with. I am going to leave you with a few pictures since my last post and I promise things will get back to our regularly scheduled programming by next week!
