Patron Saint of Fathers

Charlie's religion homework, make a saint card for next week (All Saints Day). He picked Saint Joseph immediately. I asked why and he said, "because he is a daddy, Jesus' daddy!" I melted :)

Mom's Babymoon - I mean extended work trip

A two week training class for IBM? Ugh. No wait... a two week trip to Tampa with a weekend in Clearwater beach. Okay! Officially I am 31 weeks along with Baby Michael and this will be my last work trip before he makes his appearance. So this is my working babymoon. I wish that I didn't have to be away from Chad and the kids for 11 days straight! But spending yesterday with a icy drink, a good book and the view below was very, very nice.... Thank you to Chad and Nana for running the ship back home. Now lets hope I can finish up all of the training and work required while distracted by the beautiful weather, ocean and sand. At least the view from my hotel desk is nice.....

Happy Momma, relaxin'

Giggles on the swing

Daniel and Ana enjoy the Tire swing in the backyard. I just love those little voices!

Snow Bunny - Ready!

Not even 30 days ago she was in a bathing suit running around the back yard. This snow bunny is ready to head to school in 30 degree, flaky weather!

Cheers from the Tub Club!
