I've been feeling like I should blog, but really, there hasn't been anything to blog about. It's still cold, Jeremy's still in school, I'm still pregnant, the boys are still adorable, etc. etc.
I guess the most exciting thing that happened was that last Tuesday, we got a fluke super warm day in between below freezing weeks and it was over 60 degrees and we went to the zoo! It was amazing. It felt so good to walk around outside without being bundled and feeling totally warm and wonderful. It was great for the kids too. This week it's already Wednesday and we haven't left the house once...bleh.
But things should be picking up. I have a midwife appointment today (I'm 37.5 weeks!) so that will get us out of the house and then tomorrow night some dear sweet friends of mine are giving me a baby shower. :) I feel totally spoiled, this being my 3rd kid and all, but it should be fun. I'm excited to see all the cute girlie things! And to get out of the house and have some woman bonding time.
Other than that, things are just pretty normal. I've been cooking a lot lately - trying out new recipes while I have the time and [somewhat] energy. Just this week I've made homemade wheat thins, hummus, lara bars, oatmeal muffins, potato leek soup, ham and broccoli quinoa bites, and blondies. Yikes! I've been making a lot of things for the freezer too - trying to stock up and get ready! Oh, and the crazy boys went and played in the snow again yesterday. Our warm spell melted all the snow last week, but a couple days later it started snowing again, and it's hardly stopped since, so we had plenty of snow to play in. I made some yummy hot chocolate to welcome them back inside when they were done. :)
This kid has been LOVING the snow. Not sure where that came from...
What a good helper. :)
Oh, and we've been getting some baby stuff out - Connor thought this looked like a good reading chair. :)
Yum!! I felt pretty "legit", as my brother-in-law would say, making my own crackers. It was too fun.
So my mom comes 3 weeks from yesterday, which means I'm really hoping to have this baby 3 weeks from today! Wouldn't that be nice? :) We'll see what happens...

You should post the recipe for your crackers. I've been looking for a good cracker recipe.
I really want you to come and live with me and be my cook. SERIOUSLY all that food sounded so good! I love the pictures of the boys. They are so cute. Absolutley loved the one with Connor reading....they are so fun! I am getting excited to come play with your sweet new baby girl.
Those crackers look amazing! Thanks for your post- I have been wondering how you were doing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Those last weeks can be the hardest, but I know that you will enjoy having your mom there to play with you!
I made wheat thins about 30 years ago. Yours look MUCH better than mine.
I agree with your mother! You are welcome to come and play and cook here ANY time!
Good job! : )
Those crackers look legit to the max! And your mom had my words exactly- except I'd even let you have your own house. You could just be my own cook next door! ;) I'm really excited for you guys! You have lots of fun things to look forward to!
