Who's bigger now?

Can't tell from this picture that I passed Ron up 20 lbs ago eh? Who looks bigger now? I don't look so big when compared to Ron's growing pot belly:)

Our faces show how we are feeling with not getting much sleep due to anxiety to get the things done we need to before the twins come. I am working on my capstone project so I can graduate at last and Ron is busy doing research and teaching- Time is ticking...

Let's just hope the boys find some other infatuation than my belly after the babies come...it's getting quite annoying...do I sound like an ornery pregnant lady or what?

Ridiculous

We are going on day number FOUR of school being canceled because of our icy roads...Ron went into the university today even though class is still canceled. This is getting to be a bit ridiculous if you ask me...could someone ship us a bunch of salt and snow plows to clear the roads? Thanks...

Snow in the South!

You may have seen from the news how the South was hit with big snow storms.
On Saturday Wal Mart was packed as Southerners prepared for the worst. Atlanta was not spared the storms, which meant no school for Ron or Ronnie! We got 5 inches of snow! Finally, our steep front yard is paying off for tubing fun!


I promised that this blog would be about Ron. But Ron without the kids is not the real Ron. So here he is doing what he does best, having fun and being a patient dad. I would not be able to have this many kids without a good husband to support me.



Ron needed a fun example of "T" measures or something for his accounting class.



It took Rebecca a few minutes to "warm up" to the snow :) Becca loves her Daddy. She knows Mommy can't hold her very much until the babies come out. So she usually goes to Ron to pick her up.
I don't know if the video will work. But then I suppose that you have all seen people slide down a hill in snow :)

The Holidays and then some...

Christmas and New Years have come and gone...on to the 2011 eh!!! It was a good holiday season, low key, with lots of friends and food! Plus, we had a white Christmas here in Atlanta, so very pretty and very unusual!



At Stone Mountain: a state park nearby with tourist attractions


Christmas Eve gingerbread houses...wanna know the secret to not tearing your hair out when all the kids' houses fall apart during decorating? First dip the edges of the houses in melted down sugar (careful, I burned myself a few times) and then stick the sides together...works like super glue and everyone is happy!



Christmas pizzas...I didn't want anyone telling me that dinner looked gross...so this is what they all picked to have on Christmas Eve.


We had a little scare last Wednesday...I awoke with labor pains after I had just gone to bed . We rushed to the hospital where they pumped me full of fluids and monitored me until morning, when the contractions eased a bit. They sent me home telling me they wouldn't be surprised if they saw me some more before the actual birth. I am back to normal now, so that's good. I am on no medication, they just told me to go about my normal life. It urged us to get more prepared.



This is me pregnant with Becca a month before her birth. The other picture was one hour ago. I am no longer just "Belly" to Jace but "Bellies." The kids rub and kiss my belly and I think I know how Buddha feels. At least my belly will be reduced in a few months :) Ron is a gem and helps me out all the time. His belly is actually shrinking because I eat all his food! Ron wants me to write more about him....next post.
