Fat Tuesday


We lived up Fat Tuesday in a big way! After months and months of healthier eating we had Donuts and kolaches for breakfast, chick fil a for lunch, and nachos for dinner. As if that wasn't enough we then made a green cake to celebrate the end of ordinary time and the beginning of Lent! Just in time for Fat Tuesday my awesome hubby bought me a treadmill! It is absoultly fantastic to be able to exercise while Curtis sleeps!!! No more fighting him to stay in the stroller while I attempt to get in at least some excuse for a run. Love it!

Bit of this Bit of that


We had a fantastic trip to Minnesota. (Tons of pictures on our Picasa site) Every time we are with Michael and Emily it is like a breath of fresh air. They are just amazing friends who truly "get" us. Anna and Curtis played well together, that is, when Anna was actually awake. :) My goodness that girl can sleep! William is an absolute joy and cute as a button. Emily was so generous with the little guy, and holding a newborn was truly therapy for my soul! We love you guys so much! Thank you for the amazing hospitality and the awesome memories. Oh and you have forever turned Curtis into a hockey junkie. Everyday since we have gotten home he picks up his Gophers stick and yells something that resembles, "E, E, S, T, A, sota, sota, EHH, Goefers!" absolutely HYSTERICAL! Don't worry we have it on video, so you can see it and enjoy your brainwashing first hand!!!!

We had a great family work day today and got a ton accomplished! The garage is officially clean and I can park my car in it again :) Yahoo! We also finally broke down and bought some extra storage shelving for Curtis's room. Curtis is already playing with his toys more that they are more easily accessible. My carpet is clean and the yard is mowed and fertilized...busy day!

Jacob and I had a wonderful visit with our priest yesterday. Father Drew is truly a blessing to the world. We are overwhelmingly blessed to have him in our lives. He bestowed upon me two Sacraments back to back, confession and anointing of the sick. We should go back to the doctor sometime next week. Without getting into too much detail, it appears that last month was a particularly off month. We are hopeful and prayerful that whatever is going on it is in the Lord's hands. We are continuing to do everything medically and spiritually in order to make sure I am healthy enough to carry a baby. We will see where God leads us from there. Keep the prayers coming!

Super Busy











Super busy, lots and lots of awesome stuff going on here, not too much time to post it all...here are a few pics from our fantastic new camera







Jessica's shower went wonderfully! It was a blast to see so many friends and family together again! We are all relieved that Francis did not make a surprise appearance just days before the shower! Only a few more weeks before you can come out little man...patience!
Jacob and I went out on an overnight date on Saturday. Curtis stayed with his GumGum and was a great boy! Jan & Daryl are such amazing grandparents and we are all blessed to have them in our lives. Jacob and I had a wonderful time together and are looking forward to giving my parents a turn :)

Only 48 hours before we leave to Minnesota! Can't wait to see Family, Michael, Emily, Anna, and of course little William. Trying to get all of our winter clothes washed and ready for the trip, thankfully we haven't had to wear them in weeks! We are in for a shock!

Off to pack some more...will post from Minnesota!
