I have made a couple posts with no pictures, so here is one with just pictures. Enjoy, Mom and Dad.

Hello 2011

I know we are already 12 days into the new year, but I hadn't made my welcome to it post yet for a couple reasons. There was some secret information that is no longer secret that had to be shared before I could write what I really wanted to about the new year. It's going to be a big one.



In a few months, I will turn 30. That seems like a big number. I'm not worried about my age. I feel like I am in a good place to be turning 30. My life has gone well thus far, and I only see that continuing through the next 30 years.



A big change for this year will be another baby!! Charlie and I are expecting little Nixlet #2 sometime in Mid-July. Abigail made her arrival a couple weeks early, and I have already told this child that it's ok with me for it to come a couple weeks ahead of schedule too. We are excited and a bit overwhelmed. Life with two will be even more exciting and adventurous. Don't worry, all you expereinced people out there, I'm quite aware that there are going to be major challenges. I had no idea what I was doing when Abigail was born either. We've done pretty well so far. We'll figure it out again somehow.



One change that will help is that I am going to be staying at home. That's right, I'm not going back to full time teaching. I am going to stay home with my babies. i am very excited about this. Yes, once again, I know there will be challenges. Staying home full time will be a major change from my current lifestyle, but I look forward to it. It's going to mean some other changes since the school district won't pay me if I don't show up to work. But sacrifices are worth it to be with my kiddos. And I write this at a time when I haven't left the house in almost 3 days.



I'm not a big resolution maker. I don't like setting myself up for failure. that said, I am trying to improve myself. I'm trying to work harder in some areas, and not worry so much about others. God is good. He gave me a wonderful 2010, and I look forward to seeing what He has in store for 2011.

New Post

I had planned a grand post tonight after Abigail went to bed. Now I'm just not feeling it. Maybe because it's quiet. Maybe because I'm still wrestling with a bad cold after a week. Maybe it's the snow making me feel lazy. I'm just not feeling it though. There are a few things that I want to get down while my little is sleeping. Then I want to curl up with a book.

Let this little post serve to remind people out there that I am alive, I am blessed, and I never promised anything much with this blog. Night Night.
