Still here...

I can't believe it has been 10 days since updating this! Pretty bad, huh, especially since this is where I was documenting everything for the 365 Project. Needless to say, I won't have a full 365 day snapshot, but I am still taking more pictures than normal to document our life this year.
I am almost 37 weeks along now which means we are finally coming down the home stretch. This has been a very long and difficult pregnancy which makes me sad since I don't know if we will have another. Here is a picture of me flying kites at 35 weeks. I am actually larger than with any of the other kids, but not heavier which is a good thing.
Our house has not progressed a whole lot due to the continued rain that has been soaking SW VA. The end of this week is finally supposed to be warm and dry so Mike is spending Thurs, Fri and Sat exclusively at Dry Valley. I'm hoping for a finished basement, but we will see.
We had a nice Easter, but it was very full of activities. The kids each had Easter parties at school (Marc joined Bruiser at his) and egg hunts. On Saturday, the church had a large Easter egg hunt (it was so cold!). Sunday after church we went to Grammy and Grandaddy's for dinner. It was finally a warm sunny day so we also headed to storage after that to find the stuff for baby - I was feeling very nervous about not knowing where the baby things were.
Today was our first day back in school; the kids were ready but mommy could have used a quiet day on her own! So far though we did make it on time so hopefully tomorrow will go all right also.
I have a few things that I completed for Urban Anthology's DT search. The first was for a manufacture challenge and the second was for a green challenge. Both were fun and took some thought.

We've been busy...

I'm not sure doing what, but we've been busy. Finally done the week and next week is a short work week which I am very thankful for. Marc got to go to class with Bruiser again today; he has waited all week for another chance to go. He has a wonderful time and Bruiser takes such good care of him - his big protector, but Marc goes berserck when I bring him home b/c he is soooo tired! I am very thankful to Anthony's teachers for the break that it gives me! Here is a layout and project that I completed for the Urban Anthology dt challenge. I stopped at Tuesday Morning hoping I'd find some of the goodies that others have mentioned finding, they have the AC albums and remark stickers - unfortunately mine doesn't have anything. I think I've been in TM 2xs in my life, not real impressed, but it was worth the try.
