Innovative

What do you do when you have travel across town with your two young children just to use the Internet?

What if you have to pay a bills and search for phone numbers and it has to be done that day?

What if it is right in time for lunch and naps and it takes all your might just to get the screaming children into their car seats?

What if you decide to go to your parent's home because they have a box of mac and cheese and endless episodes of Dora on DVR?

What if when you get there, your son decides to have a diaper blow out and there are no clean diapers anywhere near the vicinity?

Do you immediately hop in the car and drive home to change him?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

You make one of these because you are a genius.




Yep, that is a home-made diaper. So innovative right?

Sugar

Apparently we need a little more sugar and spice in our home because we are having another

GIRL!!

All is well and we're still on track for late November/early December. I can't wait to pull out all those cute baby dresses (and possible get a few new ones!).

The Great Outdoors

Enjoying the great outdoors.

















I promise he went out the door with pants on. I'm not sure what happened in between that and this, but that heap of clothes in the grass is kind of suspicious looking.

Convenience

I am going to start making a list of good things about Idaho, to help me appreciate it more. In the city, there were many inconveniences, parking is probably the biggest one.  I could easily make a list of those, especially when it involves toting around 2 young toddlers. Today lets talk about some of the conveniences of living in a smaller town. Let me be straight with you, all these things will never make up for the amazing beauty and culture that San Francisco has to offer, but I can find some positive right?

1. Attached garage. No questions about that right?

2. Fenced back yard (although yard work is completely new to me).

3. Parking lots. Free parking lots. Even downtown gives you 20 free minutes on the meter.

4. Drive through banking

5. Laundry room located on the second floor which is also where all the bedrooms are. (Let's be honest, I am just happy to have a washer and dryer in my home, I don't care where it is located).

6. Walk in closet. After sharing a tiny one with Ben for the last few years, this is heavenly to me.

7. Inexpensive groceries. I am in shock every time I visit Winco.

OK, so the list could go on. The only problem with all these conveniences is that I am going to have to join a gym.

Because convenience can also mean lazy.

Now that I got that out of the way, here's a few pictures just for you.


I'm not sure what kind of baby he's going to have?

Finally

We are finally in our rental. We haven't had the Internet for the last 2+ weeks. I am way too dependent on the world wide web. How else am I supposed to get directions, pay bills, write a talk and communicate with the outside world all during nap time?

Things have started to calm down and we are getting settled. B got his dental license in record time (9 days after graduation!) and loves working. (Thank goodness! I don't think my hairstylist gig could pay off those student loans.) I is taking swimming lessons and is doing great. N is happy tagging along and could spend the whole day in the kiddie pool in the backyard. I am putting the house together and trying to squeeze in a nap once in a while. Each week goes by so quickly and I am dreading that 3rd trimester (can I just skip that part?). Almost 21 weeks and feeling great. Maybe I post a belly picture soon.

But for now, here we are:
