I just realized it's been 6 months since I've written in my blog...that's because it's been CRAZY! Meridith and I launched our stamp design company (www.lizzieannedesigns.com) and that is keeping us very busy. We are going to be in the CHA show in Anaheim at the end of the month and it's starting to freak me out...it's costing so much money to be in this show. I really hope it pays off. We have been getting a lot of interest though so far so I'm getting excited as well! We'll see how it goes...

 

Other things that have happened since then is I found out I was prego end of August! YEEEAHHHH! We went to Disneyland the day after I found out, and the last day or two of my trip, the SICKNESS arrived. It stayed until right before Thanksgiving. So that was also eating up a lot of time...I was barely well enough to do anything during that. So much sicker than I was with Ethan. But of course we are thrilled, AND we found out we're having a girl! Yippeee! Baby is due May 9th.

 

THEN the "weather" came. We've had record flooding, windstorms, and snow the past 3 months...it's like one natural disaster after another. Of course this has been happening all over Western Washington---not just us---but when it's bad, it's always worse in Duvall. Most residents in Duvall were without power for 8 days during the windstorm and we just got 7 inches of snow two days ago...CRAZY. Makes you wonder what's going on around here (well I think it's Global Warming. Check out the "Inconvienent Truth" documentary.) During the power outage we gave up and decided to drive to my parents house in Salt Lake. Of course we found out our power came back hours after we left. :) But we were still glad we went...we had a really good time. Not sure we'll ever make that drive in winter again (we'll fly next time) but it was nice to be with the family for Christmas.  Below is a photo of Ethan and Meridith's daughter, Olivia, at Temple Square. (Note they are holding hands...cute!)

 

So that's been the last few months in a nutshell. I'm looking forward to this show...both going to it and being DONE with it...so hopefully I can spend Feb, March, and April filling stamp orders and waiting for baby #2 to arrive.
