A brief summary for now and then I will try my best to post more often-you haven't heard that before!
Matt and I went to Mexico for our ten year wedding anniversary in October. It was so nice to get away for a few days-just the two of us. The sea of cortez is beautiful although I can't say much for the rest of the scenery in Puerto Penasco-all sand and no plants! It was very warm too which I love. Matt ran his first triathlon while we were down there. He did great! Now he wants me to run with him in the next one!
I am also about 8 months pregnant with our third child. He is a boy and for names we are trying to decide on Ian-my vote- or Henry-Matt's vote. He has also has a blocked kidney that we have been watching closely with a specialist. Most of the time the kidney will unblock itself once the baby is a few weeks old. The doctors will continue to watch it after he is born and if there isn't any improvement then surgery will be the next step. Other than that he is healthy. I have gained the most I have ever gained in a pregnancy- I won't tell how much either! I will be much happier with the baby in my arms! Like how the kids shoved balloons under their shirts to make fun of me?! This is how we looked coming out of my last doctor's appointment! Glad they have a sense of humor :)
Elise started kindergarten this past year. She has a hate/love relationship with it. She can read small words though which she is excited with herself over. Still a drama queen but ever so cute:)
Joseph is turning four tomorrow. He is the next Dennis the Menace...Like to lock the animals up in small 'things', creates and builds obsticle courses, loves loves loves anything that has wheels and moves. Busy and smart kid. He is not too far behind learning whatever Elise is learning in school. He enjoys helping her with her homework. He must have got his Daddy's smarts!
Don't want to bore you all too much so I will say 'ta ta' for now. Check back sooner than a year and I promise to have something more to say!

Finally! Ha ha. Love the kids with the balloons under their shirts. Too funny. I like Henry better than Ian, sorry. :-)
Yea, an update!!!
I vote for Ian- so cute. I can't believe you are so close to having him!
Mexico sounds awesome!
I LOVE that B&W picture of your kids. They are so darling!
And the balloon picture-hahaha! SO cute. I wish that I had looked as good as you do when I was pregnant.
Mexico sounds amazing, and congratulations on 10 years!
Hey Bridget! looks like you've got a beautiful family. :)
You and Matt "totally" look just like I remember you. (even from knowing Matt as a little kid)
I've been in contact with his mom a little and connected her with my mom since they were best friends way back. I don't know if you knew this but that family is the reason I became a member (with my mom). I'm always telling Amy about them.
Becky and I were best friends when we were small(probably until i was told girls were gross, I assume) then i was best buds with Danny, (how is he?) but Matt was always fun to play with cuz he was older and could take us to the ponds. I have a poor memory, but most of my young memories are based around their house. I saw your blog on Becky's blog BTW.
Small world having known you in HS and then you meeting him! Say Hi for me. Looks like you've got your hands full. I imagine we'll have our own Denis/e the menaces soon enough. Scroll to the bottom of my to meet Amy, my beautiful wife of 13months and 20days. http://allenwilsondesign.blogspot.com/
talk to you 2 later, Allen
