I've been so MIA around here lately, and I apologize for that! I will blame it on the big announcement...which most have already seen on Facebook: We've got baby #4 coming in May! Yes, we did do that on purpose, although I'm not sure how sane we are, having babies 18 months apart. But we're SO very excited and feel so blessed to have another sweet little person coming to our home.
This has probably been my easiest pregnancy, or at least a billion times better than with Simon. I've been super, super tired and felt pretty grossed out a lot of the time, but nothing like last time's laying in bed wishing to die situation. Of course, Simon has been the best, easiest little baby, so maybe you pay upfront. In which case, we're in for it. But, since my next easiest pregnancy was Maya, I'm hoping it's an early indication that we've got a little girl on the way. Of course, we'd be thrilled either way. And by we, I mean me & Chris. Maya, on the other hand...well, let's just hope it's a girl. :)
Anyway! I'm hoping the super exhaustion will pass soon and that I'll be here more often very soon. I have lots of family pictures and a pretty major Anthropologie wish list to share, if nothing else.
In other news, I will be celebrating my big 3-2 this weekend! Having 2 kid birthdays in October followed by the kid-centric Halloween festivities...and the tiredness, I guess, has kept me from scheming as much Birthday fun as I have in previous years, but I'm sure they'll be dinner out and cupcakes and other goodness involved. My 30s are my favorite so far. Life just keeps getting better and better, and I'm feeling very blessed.
Hope all is well out there in blogland. Back soon!

Last week was the much-anticipated trip to Day Out With Thomas. It definitely exceeded our expectations. The kids had SO much fun.

Chris has been working on a flowerbed project in the yard (Almost complete, "after" pics to come! It looks fabulous.) and has, of course, had a couple of lovely kids assisting him. We've (finally) had a bunch of rain, which has made digging up the rocky Texas dirt much easier. Plus, you know, it made a bunch o' mud, and what could be better than that?

I already thought Picasa was the best thing ever, but their latest update is even more awesome! They have a new Facebook-esque "People Tagging Tool". Which is cool in and of itself. People get their own folder, you can quickly find pics you're looking for of a specific person, make quick collages, etc. etc., I'm sure. But the amazing part (for me) is how smart it is! After it has a couple of pictures to go by, it starts to pick up on pics it thinks might be of you. And it's usually right! Even with my look-alike kids, it gets them right more often than not.
See, here. It grabbed mostly pics of Maya as a baby...and one of Maya's cousin Daniel. (Just hit the check to confirm or the X to remove the tag. Or double click the pic to tag it correctly.)
