Congrats to the Arthurs!!

I am beside myself excited to announce Dave and Shannon Arthur are expecting in June! Hooray!!! <3

Goofy goofy children

Yes. They are insane.

Max is 38 weeks

Max is truckin along. Should be close to 7lbs by now and is the length of a leek. (very important info) I am dilated to 2cm and can go any time now. We are hoping he lasts another week because Michael's Grandpa Chambers passed away yesterday morning and he has to make a mad dash to Indiana for the funeral. Please keep Michael in your thoughts. <3

Snowish

We got a little bit of snow the day after Christmas. VERY exciting for the people of Sumter County. I'm sure the Pig was out of milk and bread. But it didn't really stick that great b/c the sun kept coming out. As long as I got my photo op I don't really need anymore than that.

Santa came to town!

Santa came to see us! He went a bit crazy this year. Its amazing how it adds up when you start stashing stuff in the attic in August. The boys got up at 7 and were extremely excited over all the goodness. I think Bat Cave was the winner this year.
Mom and Dad got here around noon and we played and hung out (and snacked on more cookies) till the giant lasagna was done. It was so good...not to toot my own horn or anything but...DAMN! It tasted like the veggie lasagna Za's took off the menu. Sorry I digress... Then we watched the dragon movie and laid about under the new blankies. Mom and Dad left and we had a dancey dance party. Merry Christmas Friends and Family!! <3 you!

Birthmus 2010

We had Christmas and my birthday celebration at Mom and Dad's house this year. Catherine and Adam made roasted beef brisket with veggies for dinner and it was VERY yum. Mom made a life time supply of cookies (which this pregnant chick is super grateful for).

We let the boys open presents first and they were very happy with the loot. Lucas thought the Robin costume was the coolest thing ever and stayed in character the rest of the night.

Thanks fam for all the lovelies. The ukulele was a huge surprise and made one lil Murley's day! :)

Max is 36 Weeks!

Lil baby Max is 36 weeks OR 9 months for those dividing by 4. OH Happy DAY!! He is measuring right on track and doing good. I have been having contractions quite a bit getting ready to rock and roll. My Dr. said I am dilated to 1cm...which means nothing. I could be at 1 for months. Jan 12th is my due date but my office will induce me a week b/f. I'm shooting for Jan 7thish. He'll be a New Years baby unless he decided to crash Christmas. Either way I'm ready. :)

Festival of Lights

Holy frozey toesies! We went to James Island again this year for the Festival of Lights. But this year we decided to outsmart everyone and go during the week so the traffic wasn't as bad. And it was PERFECT. Hardly anyone was there and we could take our sweet time driving through the three miles of lighted park.

Santa hangs out in the middle of the park so we stopped to get pictures taken with him and to roast some marshmallows. Lucas decided Santa is better from afar and wouldn't sit for a picture. He did throw "booboorangs" at him from the other side of the stage. I don't know how that will effect his gift getting. Dylan (after a pep talk) decided Santa was ok and they had a lengthy chat.

We warmed up by the fire pit and roasted marshmallows b/f booking it back to the car. It was a million below. Had to be. Lucas took my scarf and nobody had any feeling in faces or hands. But the kids loved it and thats all that matters.

Only ten days left till Christmas. Hope everyone has a safe and warm and cozy holiday. Big hugs and smootches!!!
