More snow for us!

Here is a picture of Benjamin shoveling the driveway! Now that I am pregnant, it gives me a great excuse not to shovel the snow! There are some perks about being pregnant! hehehe It's been snowing here the past 2 days, and it is really starting to pile up. That is one of the reasons why I love living in Colorado! Our plan for today was to take down the Christmas lights, but with all the snow I don't think that will happen!

Things are going well here. Nothing too much new since my last entry. We did sign up for our birthing class, infant care class and a breast feeding class. We are going to have a very busy January with all those classes. It is hard to imagine that my due date is getting so close. Like I've said before, our doctor said he expects me to deliver the first week of March, which only gives us 2 months! I've talked to the church about taking maternity leave, and it looks like I will be taking the season of Lent off and will return back as choir director after Easter! Wow, he will be here by Easter, that is an amazing thought! When I get back to school, I will be finalizing my maternity leave with my principal too. I have my sub on standby after Valentine's day and have asked her to take over the 1st of March. I've got a lot of planning to get done. I plan on taking the rest of the school year off and will return next fall. I sure hope we get a lot back from taxes since all of my maternity leave is unpaid! It will be a tight few months, but I can't imagine going back to work after only a few weeks. I am getting more and more excited about meeting this little guy! We have been thinking about some names, but I just can't seem to make up my mind. Benjamin would be fine making a decision and sticking to it. Not me. I keep changing my mind. We have 3 really good ideas, and we (or should I say I) may need to wait and see what he looks like when he comes out before a name is decided on. I wonder if he will have red hair like me and blue eyes like Benjamin! Hmmm? Well, whatever he looks like I'm sure he will be a total cutie!

Have a Happy New Year everyone! I know this year was great for us and next will be full of excitement!! Oh, and here is a picture of Christmas dinner and Grandma and Grandpa's!
