Hope everyone enjoys their turkey.

Still Alive

Still here, just not much time for posting.

We are going through an incredibly amount of crappy weather, although I shouldn't complain, the fall was relatively good to us, but the sun hasn't shone the whole week.

I am thrilled to have to only work 2 days next week before heading up to Wisconsin for a yummy thanksgiving, hopefully somewhat relaxing and some crafting happening. I have been very busy lately and it has felt fabulous! Getting a lot of stuff done, working on holiday gifts and some decor and preparing for the little bud. We got a crib this week and the room is starting very slowly, to piece together. I am excited for my families shower next weekend to get some more stuff to play with, baby stuff really is just so cute.

Work is fine, been very busy and it has been a bit tiring, just lots of programs, meeting to get to and the like, plus just a lot to get taken care of especially as I prepare for my 3 months off at home with the baby. Taking care of camps and making sure that when I come back I won't be completly overwhelmed.

I am starting prenatal yoga tonight, meet with my doula next Tuesday and have my 28 week appoinment with fun labs next Wednesday.

Happy day,
Kate

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Took this quiz, wasn't thinking to much about it, but they nailed the Wiscosin accent, not many questions to come to that conclusion.

We've Become Aunt Kate and Uncle Ben

So Sarah gave birth to Kaylin Anne early on Monday's a.m. Everything went great from what I can decipher. My brother isn't much for words. He described the experience as wierd.

So ben and I are heading up to Wisconsin for my birthday and to see our new niece. Our family is expanding and we are excited that little bud will have such a close in age cousin.

Sorry no pictures, my parents forgot their camera on their first trip to the hospital, so hopefully after this weekend.

Instead you can feast your eyes on Ben's last (but maybe not final of the season) fishing trip to Stony Creek. Ben has been making the most of the Illinois water and has fished a lot this past season. He got 5 different licenses this year, not to shabby for one season, New Zealand, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Illinois- he is quite happy with his successes, this fish was caught on a very cool crayfish pattern that he invented himself!
