Hello?

If any one's still out there.... following... I'M HERE. Kind of.

I've been horrible about blogging the last few months. Sorry.

We're all doing good. Great, in fact. Just a lot going on.

We're still busy making our new home, "our home" so to speak. It's coming a long great.

Dallas finally finished his work hours and is now a journeyman in his union! Yay for that... and for the three raises that followed. We're so proud of him. He works so hard!

Lil Dallas is driving his mommy crazy. Sure, terrible twos are almost done with, but here come the horrible threes. And they're BAD. Despite the raging fits, the constant defiance, and the talking back... he's still my angel (if that's even possible... lol). We're still working on potty training with him and it's not so fun. I hope we'll make some progress soon. He's mommy's smart boy though. The things he says and does still amaze me everyday. He says things that I never knew he knew and just surprises me constantly. Not many two year olds I know can talk as much and as clear as he can. He knows all of his letters, numbers, shapes, colors. LOVES books. Loves fighting with his little sister... ugh. He tells me all the time he wants his baby brudder to come OUT! He'll be THREE in about 6 weeks. Crazy how time flies.

Kaelynn will be TWO in 11 days. I can't believe it. She's the prettiest, spunkiest, sassiest little girl EVER. Girl has the attitude of a teenage. Uh oh is RIGHT. We're going to have problems. Lol. But really, she's the princess in the family and she KNOWS it. We finally broke her from the binky about a month ago. She was severely attached to it, and I HAD to take it from her. Not something I enjoyed doing. Ya know, taking her comfort object from her. But I felt it needed to be done before she was two. It actually went pretty well and she never asks for it. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Since taking it from her, she has been talking up a storm. She can count to 10 all by herself. She tries to sing her A B C's and does a pretty good job, just a little jumbled here and there. Haha. She does the same thing with singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Totally adorable. She recognizes some shapes and a few numbers. We'll be working with her soon on potty training as well. I actually hope what they say about girls being easier to train is TRUE. Maybe then, she can show her brother the way!

The belly has definitely grown. I am now 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant with Mr. Chase Michael :-) We're in the home stretch now! My due date is exactly 1 month from today. I'm thinking he can come at any time since D & K were both a few weeks early. But I want him to stay in a bit longer. My mom and sister in law threw me a small baby shower a few weekends ago. It turned out really nice and we got some wonderful gifts. The nursery is all set and we're ready to go! I have my next OB appointment on Monday and my doctor will be checking me for dilation and will also check the baby's position and possibly give me a weight estimate for him! I'm just getting really excited and anxious and I can't wait to meet him and grow our family to FIVE!

I PROMISE there will be another update in the next few days, which will include PICTURES of course!
