I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted a blog here. Let's see...what's happened?

In August, Matt and I celebrated our 9-year wedding anniversary! We went out to dinner, and had a nice time, but we didn't do anything super special. Towards the middle of the month, we found out we were expecting another baby!

In the middle of October, we flew to Arizona to visit Dan and Debb. I was a little worried at how Kayley was going to handle a much longer flight (a visit to NH is only an hour and a half by plane, and to Tampa is only two hours). She did wonderfully, but it was Matt and me who couldn't keep our eyes open. I swear they put some kind of sleeping gas in the recylced airplane air. :-) We had such a great time, going to the Desert Museum, the Colossal Caves, and to Tombstone. Not to mention the adorable crafty-type village of Tubac, which I loved walking around. Hanging out with everyone was so much fun, and we can't wait to go back for another visit! Thanks Dan and Debb, for showing us such a great time!

We enjoyed a nice quiet Thanksgiving. We didn't cook for a change, we ordered a turkey mean from a restaurant called Bob Evans. It was very tasty, and it was a great day, complete with Cowboys game (my favorite team!)

And just yesterday, we had our 20-week ultrasound and found out that Kayley's going to have a baby brother. We're so excited, and I'm 90% sure we've chosen the name Lucas Michael. I'm kind of hoping to change Matt's mind and have Lucas's middle name as Matthew. We'll see. Now we get to buy boy clothes, and find out what to do with the saved outfits and dresses that belonged to Kayley. Maybe I can talk Matt into trying for another girl someday, too. :-D

My cousin Lauren is expecting her first baby in February. She's having a boy too, and is naming him Cameron Joseph. I love it, and I can't wait for his arrival too!

We decorated the Christmas tree, and made Italian cookies (they were SO good!), and we're feeling very festive. Merry Christmas!
