I know it's been a long time...

since I last blogged and I could lie and say that I have been really busy, but that's not really true! I was lucky enough not to have to work this summer and just relax and get the house ready for Ben (which still isn't done-YIKES) and I am so thankful! It really has been a blessing not to have to work or worry about much of anything except staying healthy and cool!

Lots of things have happened since I last blogged:

1) Mike was blessed with a new job at Halliburton! He has been working so hard-about 16-17 hours a day-but has such a great attitude! We are so thankful that this job happened and I am so proud of my husband for working so hard for our family!

2) I have a gorgeous new niece-Emma Claire! She is the daughter of my sister, Ashley, and brother in law, Leo, and the little sister of Lilly! She is so precious and a really good baby!

3) As for baby Ben, he is doing great! I have had such a smooth pregnancy-Ben has always been right on track with his weight and length.  My due date is September 16th, but I would take him a little early so that my sister and nieces can meet him before they head back to California!

Our family is so blessed and are very thankful!
