Holidays ahoy!

Well, I've had a couple of requests to update my blog... which never happens.... so i must be getting behind :P Kinda embarrassing that I haven't written anything for a whole month!!

First a little Thanksgiving recap. We had a blast enjoying some fun activities with both our families. On Wednesday night Steve and I attended "Pie School" with Chris Clark (Steve's mom) and the Clark sister's. Steve's mom is known for her pie crusts and delectable fillings, so learning from the master was definitely a privilege! While we may not be quite masters ourselves, we are definitely on our way to being able to hold our own in the pie making sphere :P Thanks momma Clark! By the way, these are not our pies... ours looked (and definitely tasted) better!

Thanksgiving day we played it pretty easy in the morning (well, Steve played it easy in the morning... I missed morning enjoying an extra bit of sleep!), and then hit up both my grandparent's grand Thanksgiving feast and Steve's family's pie party to enjoy our creations. We are so blessed to live close to both our families! These sweet potatoes are here to signify all that is wonderful about Thanksgiving.... mmmmm.... sweet potatoes with marshmallows!!!

Another fun part of Thanksgiving for Steve and I was sharing some fun news with our families... we're going to be parents! Introducing...... Bluebie Clark (thanks to Kimmy Poo for a preliminary name for our little tiny)

We are absolutely stoked about our new journey in life together... raising a human! LOL :) Our Estimated Date of Confinement (or "due date" in layman's terms... for all you normal people who are not labor and delivery nurses...) is July 4th, 2009. I'm really hoping I don't deliver on the 4th, to be honest though.... it is one of my favorite holidays and I would be so sad to miss yummy barbeque's for hospital food... ask me in a few months though and maybe that will all change :P This lovely picture is courtesy of yours truly playing around with the ultrasound machine on the labor and delivery unit on one very quiet evening... and I think it's pretty amazing for my first try :) Can you see the cute little legs on the left side?

Anyway, that's pretty much it for us and November... and holy cow can you believe it's December already?!? I really can't... there hasn't been nearly enough Christmas time snow! :( Steve has been working super hard to finish papers for all his classes- which all end on Thursday! Yea! Of course then there are finals... but the end is deliciously in sight! I'm so proud of my studious man and the hard work he does both in his job and in his education! He's a tough one!

I'll try to be better about posting... but now that I have the pregnancy card to play... I might be too lazy sometimes :P We'll see ;)
