Full of Thanks

This fall is flying by, and it's hard for me to believe it's already Thanksgiving! Our little family of 3 has a lot to be thankful for this year. Kate is moving and shaking everywhere! She's a busy girl, running all over the house, and her language skills are just taking off. She's doing a great job with her signs (we do some baby sign language with her) and she's saying a new word practically every day now. Today's new word was "poo." :) Gotta love that.
I'm enjoying my work at the hospital, and feel like I (finally!) have a reasonable work/life balance. I actually picked up my knitting needles this past week and started a little neck warmer for myself. It may take me 3 months to get it done, but at least I'm knitting!
Todd's been slowly chipping away at the house. He's re-siding it and enclosing our porch by himself. It's tough to find time to work on it now with the weather so miserable out, but it's getting done..and looks fantastic! I'm so impressed with his handiwork. He's also had some time to work on his artwork and currently has some pieces showing at a shop in Kirkland for their artwalk.

But there's one other thing that our little family is most, incredibly thankful for this Thanksgiving...and it is that we are expecting another baby! I am 11 weeks pregnant, due June 13th, 2010. As many of you know, Todd and I had a challenging time getting pregnant with Kate, and are overjoyed that we were able to have a spontaneous pregnancy for baby #2. Kate and her younger sibling will be about 21 months apart. Life will definately be busy, but I think it will be fun to have kids close in age like that. 2 under 2. Yikes! :)

I hope this holiday season finds you well.

Enjoy some recent pics.
Much love,
