I've been trying to think of things I could update with for the past few days now and I'm still not coming up with much of anything creative. I really don't have any pictures and so this could be quite boring.
Although we haven't had anything real exciting going on, we are so glad that things are just going smoothly for the most part.
Aaron only has two weeks of class left before finals this quarter. I know he is looking forward to moving back upstairs (he does 90% of his studying downstairs so he's less distracted). He'll still be working on his thesis in order to graduate, but we're hopeful that it will all be done with before the baby comes in June. GE continues to treat us well even with all the economic changes. We are so blessed that Aaron has such a great job.
Olivia gets smarter by the day. She's always writing things and asking me how things are spelled. She's getting better about sounding things out on her own though: 
Olivia spends a good portion of her days sitting at the kitchen table with her scissors, tape, crayons, paper, etc. I am always getting "mail" from her filled with loves notes. I certainly haven't ignored the fact that her and Carter are playing together a lot better these days too.

He talks in full sentences and calls his big sister by her real name (not "Mee-Mee"). I do think his favorite person is his daddy though. Carter still wakes up before 6am most mornings and since I honestly can't get up that early anymore, he watches more Disney than I'm going to admit to. He's making up for it though by getting closer and closer to being potty trained.
I am doing great and feel guilty (sometimes) for having such easy pregnancies. Third trimester symptoms have come a bit earlier than I remember them coming in the past though. I could easily take a two hour nap every afternoon, my sense of smell is is off and I'm starting to look at bedroom closets with that "nesting" feeling (aka, it needs to be organized BEFORE the baby gets here). Not to mention that I've gained record weight this pregnancy and so my clothes are becoming uncomfortably tight already. Please don't think I'm complaining though...I'm not. Life is good.
I leave you with the link to my new favorite You Tube video:
This is a work of art if you ask me! (Love ya Robyn!)

Glad things are going well for you and your family. :D
Oh, thank you for this kind shout out. I think it's a work of art too. Just a bit.
It seems like you claim big weight gain in your pregnancies and then look so lean a few months after the baby comes. If history is any judge, that weight is a very short term addition.
So glad your family is plugging right along. Talk to you soon!
Okay, so I glanced at your blog this morning and now I've been singing "Single Ladies" all day. I was even humming it during primary.
If you get the urge to nest, I have plenty of projects at my house . . .
Olivia's art/writing is amazing! I wish she could be in my first grade class. She's going to be a fabulous student!
I'm glad things are going well for you! I hope the last trimester is nicer to you than it has been to me. :)
I like these kinds of posts, they're always the most interesting to me! How old is Olivia??? That is such a cute drawing and already spelling words? Wow! And I know how that third pregnancy goes--I seriously thought I was having twins by 8 weeks along...although I'm sure you're looking fabulously svelte as ever!
I am glad everything is going so well right now. I keep forgetting to ask you if Aaron knows yet if GE will be giving him a permanent job or if they still can promise anything? If they can't, is he starting to look other places?
I wish we lived closer so Lizzy and Olivia could sit at the table and color, cut, tape for hours on end together :) I hope I get to see you one last time before we leave Ohio. Did you get my e-mail about being in Cinncinati in May? I'm glad that things seem to be going well this pregnancy and I hear you on the Disney Movies. They become my best friend when I am pregnant or have just had a baby!
I'm so glad things have been going so smoothly with your pregnancy. What a blessing.
I love Olivia's artwork. And she's quite good at spelling. I think forest should be spelled her way.. that's the way it sounds! What cute kids!
You've been blessed! Your kids are so adorable. Sorry, but your extra weight gain isn't noticeable beyond the obvious "she's pregnant" - you still look fabulous!
