Happy New Year!

I have hit the point that people are not afraid to declare I'm pregnant.  Maybe it is because the belly sticks out farther than other features or the roundness it is getting.  It is starting to get difficult to do some tasks, my arms are getting too short to reach the sink, my knees now hit my belly on the stationary bike, and my feet feel father away.  And I'm only going to get bigger!

Jeff and I have made progress on getting things ready.  My craft room is no more (which is a little sad) it is now an empty room ready for painting.  A lot of stuff went down to the basement and a huge pile for donation.  (We realized that we didn't need 20 duffel bags among other things.)  If you visit you will have to share the guest room with my sewing stuff now.  We have also picked out the theme (forest animals) and now are deciding on paint color.  Hopefully we can get that picked out without too much trouble.  Let us know if you want to help Jeff paint!  :)  I will be avoiding the fumes and not much help.

Jeff and I went to the DC area for Christmas with the Downey family and new cousin to Baby Rueckert-Downey, Julian.  Chris set up his camera to catch the entire crew.   We had a lot of fun in DC eating good food and getting to go down to the Mall to see a couple of museums and the Washington Monument.  See more pictures here.

Here's to a great 2010!
