Your Christmas Present

This year your Christmas present is a posting from me. I know, I know, contain your excitement - it has been a while since I've given you a dose of my excellent writing.

Seriously, the real reason I'm doing it is because I just went to my friend Kathy's blog and that girl actually blogs like EVERY day. Or almost everyday. And she has 3 kids. And a daycare. And she still finds time to humoriously share her insight on almost a daily basis. STOP MAKING FEEL INADEQUATE KATHY!! I'd post a link to her blog, but you have to invited to read it. She's super snobby that way.

Anywho, let's get to the latest with the Silva Family. Andrew started school and is doing very well. He's doing great academically, and so-so behavorially. He's a well behaved kid, he just likes to talk. Alot. And he does when he's supposed to be working. Sooooo....we're trying to work on that with him. But he loves school and has made a ton of friends. And started giving his phone # out. To girls. We have little 5 year old girls calling our house almost daily. At first, I thought it was cute. Now, I think it's annoying because they call 47 times a day. It's worse than a telemarketer.

Alivia is also doing great. She missed Andrew during the day. She asks for him alot. And she gives him a big hug when he gets home. I think it's so sweet that they love each other so much. She's still repeating everything we say, over and over and over. She's also grown into her age. After being such a sweet mellow baby, she's suddenly decided that she has all sorts of opinions and she lets us know. Loudly. But, I know that this will pass, as it did with Andrew. Most of the time, I just enjoy the cute things she says and does.

Now, finally Jason and I have an announcement to make. For all of those who do not know yet, Jason and I are expecting #3!!! And YES, IT WAS PLANNED. That's the question we get the most! Butit did happen pretty fast. 3 weeks fast. It took a few months with both Andrew and Livie, so we were pretty surprised when the test came up positive after only 3 weeks of trying. Things have been pretty good with the pregnancy so far, I've had my usual morning (all day) sickness, but I've also had a few good days here and there. I'm still pretty tired, but I hope that goes away soon. My due date is June 28th, 2008 - so that puts me at 11 1/2 weeks today. We are really excited to bring a new member into our family!!!

Okay, that's it for now....hopefully I'll be posting more soon. Once I get my energy back, that is :)
