Merry Christmas plus lots of Happy Birthday's

Alright, so I have a bit of catch-up to do! Life has been busy lately and I find myself especially exhausted thanks to this exponentially expanding "bump" that I am carrying around! Speaking of my "bump", everything is still looking great and we are still planning on another little girl come the end of June! I can't believe how quickly that date is approaching! Thanks to the holidays and 3 birthdays, I haven't even thought about preparation for baby #2! I have about 15 weeks left and I have so much to do to get ready! I don't have much to buy, it is more about cleaning out closets and re-organzing things so we have room for another baby and all of her clothes, blankets, etc. Wish me luck!!!!

So, onto the catch-up session. I'll keep this quick since there is a lot to catch up on! Christmas was great! We stayed here and enjoyed spending Christmas Eve with Robert's entire family...and then we had a nice quiet Christmas morning all to ourselves at home! Robert and I decided not to get each other anything, but it was so much more fun to watch Meredith open her presents! A few days after Christmas, we headed out to Arizona to have "Christmas" with my family and celebrate an early bday for Meredith. We had so much fun in Arizona, although, I'm realizing we didn't take very many pictures...whoops! We were there a little over a week and I am hoping we get to go back again soon! Meredith misses her Papi & Tutti!

January and February were busy months...Meredith's 2nd birthday was January 10th. Robert's birthday was January 11th...Valentine's day was February 14th and my birthday was February 18th!

I can't believe my baby is 2 already! I love watching her grow and it is so fun seeing how quickly she is learning, but it makes me sad that she has gotten so big SO FAST! She is still my baby and sometimes I wish this whole growing-up thing would slow down a bit! Lately, I'm trying to enjoy every minute because it just seems that before I know it all my kids (however many that will be?) will all be grown up and married and having children of their own. Weird thought, but I'm sure you all know what I mean! I just want to really soak it all in, ya know?

Here is a slideshow of some of our pictures from Christmas and the January birthdays. I still need to download pics from February...so that will come later!!
