What!!! It's been SIX MONTHS since my last posting!

I know! I am really not a very good blogger. I desperately want to be though.

Update:

I just read my past two blogs and I realized two things.

One, I still haven't posted Chad's adoption story. I know I need to do this, but I will be giving birth in three weeks, so the likelyhood of that happening is slim. It will happen eventually (maybe?) ;)

Two, I made a list of all these books I want to read this year in my second-to-last blog entry (and let me tell you...I have been a reading machine), but have NOT read most of the intended books on my list. I didn't realize it, but apparently I had been going through a fiction deficiency in my reading diet, so there has been A LOT of fiction reading going on this year. What I have read is:

The Help
Same Kind of Different as Me
The Art of Racing in the Rain
Sarah's Key
Water for Elephants
The Shack
The Glass Castle

And I am reading now:
Tara Rd by Maeve Binchy
Radical: Taking Back your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt
A Modern Girl's Guide to Bible Study by Jen Hatmaker (I am actually in a Bible Study being lead by the author! Very cool!)

On the deck:
Irresistible Revolution
Half the Sky

Should I be reading What to Expect...blah, blah, blah? Probably. It seems with the second child things are just not nearly as a big deal as it was the first time.

One more thing, since we've moved out to the country and are living on a ranch, we don't have high speed internet. We have wireless internet connection which is not that great. This is the biggest reason why I have not been that great about uploading pics and keeping up with the blog. The process is painfully long, and frankly I just don't have THAT much time on my hands. Chad and I have uploaded some newer pics from this year on our facebook pages if you are interested. No, there are NOT any picures of my baby bump. You must see me in person if you want to see me in all my glory ;) I don't care to have any pictoral evidence of my current state of, shall we say...growth.

We are so excited about meeting Elaina, and have been busy preparing for her arrival. Pink is definitely the color d'jour these days. My c-section is set for July 9th. Luke is as excited and prepared as he can be for the newest addition. There is no doubt in our minds that he will be a great big brother. Hope all is well dear friends.

Much love,
Darsey
