I'm Back!!

It's been a little while since I've posted! We are back from our Christmas vacation adventures, and let me say it was an adventure! Driving from Southern CA up to Northern WA is not such an easy trip when there is freak snow storms in CA and it continued to snow all the way up and while we were there. From frozen car doors, to bad motel rooms, broken car door handles as a result of the frozen doors, to a shattered windshield and busted up bumper from sheets of ice falling off a truck onto our car going 75 mph, yep and adventure to say the least, and a insurance claim too! Now that I got that out of my system....

We did have a fun time visiting friends and family up in WA. It was really great to see everyone. I can't say we'll drive again, but never say never I guess. Christmas was fun and great memories were made. And if you look toward the top of my blog you'll see that we are expecting a baby!!! We got to tell everyone in WA in person which was very fun. This is a much wanted, much anticipated pregnancy and I am so excited, despite all the yucky sickness and heartburn I am experiencing right now. And I do feel my belly expanding more than it should be at 8 weeks, but hey maybe it was all the Christmas goodies.

I probably won't be doing the menu of the week for a little while because.... well I can't eat much but fruit, cereal, jello, you get the picture. Poor Reese is left to fend for himself.

Thanks for all the sweet comments about the sugar cookies and my sweater. I will post the sugar cookie recipe soon.

Here are some pictures I took over our vacation. I didn't take to many, I wasn't feeling great and not to much in the picture taking mood.
