Thank you

Thank you all for your warm wishes! We are so very excited... and a little scared. Two kids??? That is much harder than one kid. I know from my nanny days.

I am due June 15th. We had originally wanted to wait to tell people, but I am already showing- as you can see from the picture. We wanted to tell people at Thanksgiving. As it is-- we were only able to make it through my charity event.

I'm doing pretty well so far, but I am starting to get sick every afternoon and it lasts until bed time. Which is pretty early these days. I've definitely entered the "so tired I can't see straight" phase of the first trimester. But I am doing so much better than I did during my pregnancy with Punter.

okay-- enough boring details of my pregnancy.

I wanted to share something I tried the other day that came out great. Whenever I make pot roast, we usually have a ton left over. Even though I get the smallest roast I can find. And we are not good about eating leftovers. And leftover pot roast isn't the best thing I've ever tried anyway. So, the other day I got the bright idea to use three fillet steaks. I got them from the farmer's market, so the total cost for them was about $4.50. I used potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. And a free packet of steak rub mixed with water (and much extra garlic powder) as my sauce. It was SO good!!! And the whole meal cost me about $6.50. Which is expensive for an average meal for us-- but cheap for a pot roast. I always feel lucky if I find a roast for $9 or less. And we finished it!! there were no leftovers. The steaks were really tender and fell apart after cooking in the crockpot for awhile. You should try it.

Oh, and don't forget to stop by Abbily Ever After to sign up for the ornament exchange. Julie already has 50 something entries and we only have a week or so left to sign up. It is so much fun! I am doing it for the second year in a row! I can't wait to get my "assignment" and pick out my ornament!

I hope everyone has a fantastic fall weekend!! We have lots of fun planned to celebrate the season. Mama has been so busy, we haven't done much celebrating. And we have oh so much that we are excited about!! I am so looking forward to a weekend loving on my boys!!!!! And them loving on me, too!
