Not Much to Blog About

I'm surprised it has been 2.5 weeks since I last blogged. It's not that nothing has been happening, because stuff has been happening (department of redundancy department here). I just have not had a lot to say (I know, shocking, especially to my closest relations).

But last night when I was uploading 169 pictures onto my computer from months ago (because the memory card was finally full), I found a few pictures I haven't posted here yet. And now I might actually have something to talk about!

This painting was my absolute favorite Christmas gift.
Many thanks to my dear, sweet husband! ;)

Savanna

No need for a caption here.

We had some friends over for a game night. Here we were playing Scum, and our friend Lara brought hats for every position in the game. Bryant was the scum, wearing the plunger with flowers.

This is Savanna's princess. No, not dress, princess.

Daddy and Caleb have been building things. I'm not sure who enjoys it more...

Hmmm.... What else can I tell you? Bryan will be done with his AIT year toward the end of June. But we could be transferred before that, or not. Once he's done, we have to wait for an opening in the company. Which could happen really soon, or not. And if not, we'd probably stick around here for a while until something opened up. It's so up in the air that it's hard to make plans.

I'm almost 35 weeks now, and counting down the days. Unfortunately, that makes it go slower. I'm not really in a hurry (okay, well maybe I am), but I am getting more uncomfortable as time goes on. My first kid came 3 days late, my second came 15 days early. I'm really hoping for the 15 days early again this time. (Now watch, he'll come late.)

Caleb continues to amaze. He can read just about everything now, including big words like "nevertheless" and "withersoever." He is also expressing interest in taking piano lessons. I've taught him a few things, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to make that commitment!

Savanna is talking (and understanding) much more now, which lessens the frequency of tantrums. Yay! She's interested in the potty, but hasn't been interested enough to actually do anything about it yet. Which, frankly, is fine with me. I don't really want to deal with the regression that will inevitably come in a month. Savanna is about to be blindsided...

The baby is running out of womb. And his bones and muscles are very strong. Either that, or my insides are redistributed differently this time around. He can kick so hard it hurts, and in places I didn't know I had!

The end.

Who Do I Look Like?

When Savanna was born, she looked a whole lot like me as a baby. And people would even comment that she looked so much like me, as an adult. I'm thinking not so much now. She definitely has lots of Bryan in her. But some people still say she looks so much like me. What do you think?

So then I got to wondering, from an unbiased standpoint, who do I look like? Here are pictures of my parents at about the same age I am now.

Dad

Mom

Oh, and just for fun, here's me, I think about 18 months old. Yeah, Savanna definitely has much more hair than I did.

Week in Review (Last Week, That Is)

For Savanna's birthday, we invited our good friends Jeanne and Bryant and their kids. Their youngest, Hudson ("Hun," as Savanna so affectionately calls him) is Savanna's age and best friend. Here we are playing Duck Duck Goose.

Savanna's turn

Unwrapping presents

Blowing out the candles, all two of them.

Afraid of the fire

Digging in (loved the ice cream and the frosting, left the cake)

Hudson also wanted to dress up in Savanna's new jammies, so we let him.

At the end of the week, Bryan's friend Jon got baptized.
