It's been a while....

Sorry it's been a while since we last blogged.  These past two weeks have been really busy with school, parties, and life in general.  Here's a quick update on what we've been up to:

If you followed our blog last year, you may remember that I've been teaching a food and nutrition class.  This year Jamie decided to co-teach it with me.  We just finished our big project of planning and cooking a meal for their parents and other teachers.  We ended up with about 45 people there.  With only 6 students in the class, they did a great job.  It was a lot of work and we were all exhausted by the end of the evening.

This past weekend, we also decided to throw a holiday party.  It was the last weekend before everyone headed home for vacation.  It was a lot of work, but so much fun.  Having our home filled with some of the people we love was wonderful.  For the party, Jamie worked on the garden and had it in top shape, we even have all the vegetables and flowers planted (look for pictures below).  Unfortunately, we were having so much fun that we didn't actually take pictures of the party.

School is officially over for the next three weeks.  I (Tara) won't be going back until the middle of March which Jamie is a bit jealous of.  To be honest, it hasn't quite hit me.  I'm just excited to be able to sleep in, take naps, and read.  We will be spending some time at school as I prepare my classroom for my absence and Jamie is doing some more tutoring for a student who is staying here over break.

Lastly, we did have another dr's appointment.  We have started going every week since he is due in exactly a month.  Everything the doctor said was good, just that I have to continue watching my sugar intake so he doesn't get too fat.  I'm working on packing my hospital bag and the car seat will be permanently stored in the car from now on, just in case.  With the hospital being an hour away, we really can't play it too save. 

Being at home much more than normal, we plan on being on Skype and IChat more often.  Please feel free to give us a call.  We'd love to see your face and/or hear your voice.

He's a little squish face here

It looks like he is yawning, but how could he possible be tired?  He is fed and carried all the time.

2nd annual garden.  This years crop consists of three tomato plants, a handful of bell and chili pepper plants, potatoes, and onions.

This is the patio extension Jamie laid last weekend.  He is pretty talented.
