    Hey! Where does time go?!?! Well, chasing a monkey is where most of my time is now!

    Yep, Alex is now a full-fledged walker. Well, kinda'....it's more of a full run. I was afraid of that! He had been taking 15-20 steps and then sitting down, but last Wednesday he decided he had enough of that and just took off and hasn't stopped since...literally! :) Unfortunately I haven't been feeling the greatest with this pregnancy now and Mom (Grandma Cindy) has been staying with us last week, and this week Alex and I have been in Crookston. We are so blessed to have family close to us to help out like that! I don't know what I'd do on my own! I have figured out though that if I eat every hour, I don't get as nauscious. I haven't been as throwing up as much with this one...but feel icky all the time. But if I snack at least once an hour, I do OK...so I'll be HUGE by the time the babies born! Oh...and it's a girl! :) Well, that's what I'm telling myself. Of course, we won't know until the baby is born...doing another surprise, but we're thinking pink! I had a feeling that Alex was a boy, and that's what it was. This one feels differently, but they say every pregnancy is different, so God only knows! As long as the baby is healthy! But a little girl would be nice because then I could be done for sure! I am not sure I could go through this again, especially with 2 little ones!

    As for this month, here's what we've been up to. I obviously haven't gotten pics up yet, but will work on it...promise! We went to the Fertile Fair with Alex. He LOVED the rides..especially the motorcycles. He would sit up front and one of us (Me, Dad (Grandpa Jerry), Auntie Stacy, Uncle Matt, or Auntie Jenna--yep, we all got a couple turns--would sit behind him. He would hang on to the handle bars and push the button like that's what made it go. He had a blast. Until the ride stopped. Then he would stand up and scream at the carnie. It was like baby swearing. Then as we pulled him off (literally) he would cover his face with his hands and cry. It was hilarious. He had the other people in line even laughing at him! So we'd get back in line and go again. It was a super cold night, so we went home by 10 pm, but that was plenty! Daddy (Peter) had a meeting so he didn't make it, but we took pics. Just to get them on here!

    The next weekend we had a family reunion in South Dakota, so we were there for the day. A lot of driving, but fun to get together. Alex had a blast playing in the sand at the beach with the cousins.

    Well, suppose I should get going. I know this isn't much, but I am actually at the library doing this quick so that I could get it updated. I PROMISE to get pics up soon! Hope all is going well, and remember: THINK PINK!!!! :)
