Outside my Window... we are enjoying a beautiful sunny day and my son is showing his grandma how he is a whiz at basketball.
I am thinking... that I am very blessed, even in times of uncertainty.
From the school room... Lloyd is loving identifying items in his books, especially this one because there are so many pictures of different things on each page. I think it is about time to start some matching/memory games as he seems to love them!
I am thankful... that we've had a few people interested in seeing the townhouse so that we can hopefully get out of our lease soon. We can not afford the lease without employment for more than a month or two, and we'd be much better off financially the sooner we get out of it. Two people have come by (please pray for us that we can find someone to take over our lease!) and I'm hoping that one of them is ready to sign on the dotted line!
From the kitchen... Hamburgers and Super Fresh and Tasty Lentil Salad. Followed by ice cream (for the calcium, of course!) Yum!
I am creating... A happy, kicking baby boy!
I am wearing... A black t-shirt (seriously, if you're pregnant, you need one of these shirts. They are the best fit I've found), jeans and flip flops and big coral chandelier earrings.
I am reading... ummmm, nothing at the moment, unfortunately. Trying to focus on researching jobs, advertising the townhouse and getting ready to move. Somewhere. And trying to keep things neat and clean so that we can show the place without much notice! :) We turned off our cable, though, both to save money and to prep for moving (we will probably be the only ones not glued to the TV tomorrow for the inauguration. We didn't plan on not watching it, we just sort of ended up that way! Oops!), and so I'm hoping it will cause me to get going on that reading list!
I am hearing... Lloyd playing with his Grandma outside on our patio.
Around the house... we are keeping it neat and clean and organized so that we can show closets, pantries and storage spaces to anyone who wants to come see the place. We are planning on starting boxing everything up mid week.
One of my favorite things... the peace felt after prayer. Learning to leave it up to the Lord.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... we are going to the Zoo tomorrow and packing a yummy lunch to take with us! Grandma is headed back to NE on Wednesday and the rest of the week we are just going to be busy beginning to box things up, send out resumes and cover letters and follow up on jobs and try to be at the top of the Craigslist ads on Friday for weekend house hunters! :) We are doing well on the meat front of going through our freezer, but trying to decide what to do with ten more cups of pureed pumpkin . . . :)
Here is a picture thought I am sharing . . . one year ago! Look how much he's grown!

I wonder how often our weather here in Nebraska rivals yours in California during January??? It'll probably be nice and cold by the time your MIL gets back . . . :>)
I've been thinking of you this week and praying for you. I've also been offering up the past WEEK of night wakings by the 22 month old - for you and a family at our parish. One of their high school age daughters has gotten pregnant, dropped out of school, and moved in with a partying boyfriend (although I'm not sure in what order).
Anyway, wishing the best for your family -
That black tee you linked to is so cute!
i remember you talking about a bella band awhile ago...where did you get yours? I can't find them under $30, is that about what you got yours for? Thanks:)
Thanks Rachael - I've been LIVING in those t-shirts! I received three for Christmas (per my request, two black and one chocolate brown) and I swear I wear one of them nearly every other day!
I think I got my Bella Band via amazon.com. They're not cheap - they are right around $30ish - but they are a great investment. I use mine a lot for both early pregnancy and post-pregnancy. Often every day (which you can't say the same for a $30 shirt!). I've heard that the cheaper knock-offs aren't worth it.
I'd lend you mine, but I'm still using it! If you are planning on having more children, I'd recommend investing in it! :)
