update

at one point in time i heard about a stay-at-home mom who made lots of money writing a blog about her kids,what she cooked for dinner, and the crafty things that she did in her free time. i thought that was a dream job. how hard could it be? i now know that if i got paid to write a blog, we would be broke.

here's what we have been doing instead of blogging:

moving furniture and random junk that we can't seem to get rid of from one room to another in preparation for the great bedroom swap. months ago, it seemed like a great idea to move the guest room to the office, janie's room to the guest room, and the new baby's room to janie's old one. we are getting close to finished with all of the shuffling of belongings, but it hasn't been quick. pictures to come soon!

reading 'brown bear, brown bear' over and over and over and over. i keep trying to throw some new books into the mix, but janie is a smart little thing and i can't fool her. she knows what she wants.

continually being amazed at the new words that janie seems to pick up on every day. my all time favorite is when she exclaims "bless!"any time she hears something that resembles a sneeze. i sort of hope she never adds the "you" to the end of that phrase, because it is so stinking cute.

making pizza on the grill at least 2 times a week. my parents have made pizza this way for years, and it always looked so hard to do. last time we were in atlanta, we took very thorough notes and have been working on mastering it ever since. i am convinced that grilling pizza and topping it with lots of vegetables (and cheese) is way healthier than ordering it. if it's not true, please don't let us know.

lastly, and perhaps most importantly, counting down the days (20 or so) until our little man's arrival! it is crazy how quickly this pregnancy has flown by. while we are enjoying long nights of uninterrupted sleep for now, we are so excited to meet our boy.
