We enjoyed a busy two days of celebrating Christmas. So great to spend time with family. I love this season!! Now back to a routine again (somewhat) with B back at work and me back to coaching. Baby girl Sorbel is movin' and groovin' still. 31 weeks this week... on the home stretch!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Spent the last 2 days at Wisconsin Dells with my brothers and their amazing wives :) We don't get to hang out, just siblings, very often, so it was a good excuse to get away and do just that!! The kids loved the waterparks and we definitely ran them to exhaustion! Once they were in bed last night, we played 5 hours of The Newlywed Game, and really got to know one another better :) It was a terrific two days of vacation!
I'm 30 weeks preggo tomorrow... baby girl is moving around like crazy and getting stronger every day. Her kicks are taking my breath away! We have a lot going on in the next two months before she arrives, but I'm getting excited to meet her! The next 10 weeks will fly :)

Again, my pics are out of order... but this has been my life since the end of October. I spend every day with these girls at dance and we had our first competition last Saturday. Now we have one almost every weekend until the middle of February. I love these girls!!
I'll be done coaching after this season is over. They even posted my position for next year already. Makes me a little bit sad, but I know it's the right thing for our family. It hasn't been an easy couple months with my coaching every day, but we'll get through it and then I'll be home for good... forever ;)
The kiddos and I met our good friends, the Lepiens, downtown last Friday. We did the Macy's display, saw Santa, and had lunch. Addie and Nora see each other about three times a year, but seem to be the best of friends. Love it :)
