I love blogs....I'm just really really bad at my own!!! ahhhh!!! I love reading everyone elses...but in the blog world especially when it comes to reading and looking at pictures of babies you have to recipocate. I'm sorry to all my readers! I am going to try to be better about blogging...Last time I blogged was like in January! Sooooo bad!! So Ill catch you up on the past few weeks. The month of February was a pretty good one for us...after Harris Jenne's birthday party when almost all the kids came down with the flu and RSV we finally got past this terrible sickness....I am sooo ready for warmer weather when we can stroll the greenway...swim at the club and dress cooler...Im also ready for a tan. When you are preggers you will do anything to look a bit more like yourself. Sweet baby Caldwell is growing in my tummy and you can see it!! Im really showing now....like pretty big already. Caroline is curious about my growing belly and often lays her head on it and says "baby". She is so amazing! We started her at the Montessori School in Cleveland this past semester and Im so very impressed by all that she is learning. The enviroment is so cool and being a former Montessori baby myself it bring back great memories when I drop her off to her class room. The headmaster is Brigetta....she is a cool German chick....when you hear the name Brigetta you think a cute little white haired lady with a thick German accent...well this Brigetta is a gorgeous, young blond with spunk and a love for teaching children. It is the neatest place and I'm so thankful that we have such an establishment in our town. To drive down an East TN road in your town and your children enters a world where German and Spanish are spoken and learning is truly hands on is a total blessing. The construction of the new house is coming along. Its the biggest project in my life right now other than growing a baby and taking care of a 20 month old and a 33 year old!! lol......It turing our gorgeous and I am soooooooo excited about getting in it...not sure we will be in before baby comes but I am hoping so. Im busy picking counter tops, sconces, stone for the patios....I love this stuff. Its going to take me a few years to decorate it...I have a wonderful decorator helping me and he had introduced me to the world of fine furnishings...ouch!!!! something really specail about really cool old pieces of furniture...I only like old furniture...not much new...weird that old is so much more $$$$
But, we are thrilled about the house, ready for the space and ready to get in!!! The next few months are going to be very very busy.....finishe house, get baby here...get out of old house and get it on on the market or rent it....hopefully fit a beach trip in somewhere!! Jonathan and I are headed to NYC for the second time this year....we are so excited...we love that city and cant wait to check into the St. Regis, unwind.....eat some really good food and enjoy a little time alone before baby number two. We have gotten pretty good at NYC.....we dont do anything touristy....only cool local stuff...we eat at local eats, go to art galleries, auction houses and of courstr I shop and normally grab lunch at Bergdorfs with one of my city girlfriends. We love visiting though I'm always sooooo happy to get home to my sweet town with all my sweet friends and put my shopping bags away and live the good, simple life that J and I adore. I was raised in a large city....moved to a small town...totally love it and can never go back unless God calls us....:)
K now for some pictures.....lets start with baby playgroup pics from Valentines...Caroline and I hosted a Valentine's Day party for our play group it was so precious. I love watching these babies grow..they are so sweet and to see each of their personalities develop is amazing. More to come....
SO I totally promise...this child was watching her daddy leave for worked and put his giant boots on to say bye! I was in awe it was the most precious little act.....I keep telling people this is a hard stage because of actual discipline...but omg...such a great one for all the cute things they do...in her cupcake jammies, saying by to daddy early in the morning.....this is a keeper...
