1 + 2 = 3

That's right. We will be adding a new addition to our family in the coming months. We will be leaving the realm of two parents for two kids and will now be outnumbered by our children. As long as I don't have to take them all shopping with me, I should be alright. I am almost done with my first trimester and am glad to start seeing the days of feeling better. My due date is set for Feb. 19th, but I am expecting earlier. Anyway, just thought I'd share the good news. Hope everyone is doing well.

Maine :)

So I have spent the past month here in Maine with Ann and Dan and the boys. It has gone by so darn fast!!! It feels like I haven't been here more than two days. :) Thanks to Ann for making my stay so wonderful and full of fun. :) I loved having all the treats. I am almost sad to fly out tomorrow. Well, one more trip to go, unless Mum, Shane, Chubs, and I really do go camping at Trout Creek. Then home for a few days before senior year!!!
Well, I haven't just been having loads of fun out here. I've also been hacking away at my story. :) Not getting too far, but baby steps, baby steps. If you want to read the parts that I am happy with, I am uploading them to Facebook and my writer's blog (http://adelynsstories.blogspot.com/) as I go. :)
So, next stop: Utah.

Hooray for June

I just wanted to wish Emily and Connor happy birthdays and also tell April congrats on the new baby. I look forward to seeing lots of pictures from the recent birthdays and the new babies.

Sewing Projects

This post is really for April but these are some dresses that I made for Katie and her little friend Piper. Also, I made this skirt out of an old pair of my khakis.

Yummyness at Home

So, today I felt like baking. I made sausage calzones, vanilla ice cream, and blueberry coffee cake. And they all turned out!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

Vacation

We recently returned from a two week vacation to NY/Washington DC. It was great. We had a lot of fun, got very worn out, and are glad to be home in our own beds. You'll have to check out my blog in the near future for a semi-complete update of our trip (with lots of photos).

I do want to share a couple of pictures with you . We had the opportunity to visit the Vietnam War Memorial and were able to find Mom's cousin's name on the wall. It was neat to be there and find his name. Look for Raymond L Robertson Jr. That is Aunt Winnie's son who was killed during the Vietnam war.

Still Employed

Since I can't remember who I've talked to, I thought this was the best option to update everyone. Back in December, we were told Dan's position would be cut for next year. Since then we have been applying for jobs and anticipating another move. However, last week we were unexpectedly offered another year here at UMaine. Through small miracles and good people bargaining for us, we have managed to secure another year here. We are not sure we will stay, depending on what the Lord has in mind for us, but we are hoping to. We love it here and would love the chance to spend another year here. I'll keep you posted. And if we do end up staying here, that will give all of you another chance to come visit us in glorious Maine.
