Family Update

Well, it's been awhile, but we are doing pretty well in the Hagen household. I know I haven't posted anything worthwhile since October, so here's what Tay was up to that month:

Making smoothies with mommy and daddy...

Searching for a pumpkin on a rainy Saturday...

Being a goat at Hee Haw Farms...

Sitting on our neighbors porches to check out their pumpkins...

And just being cute in general :)

For those who have not heard, we are expecting our second child in July! That is part of why I have taken such a long hiatus from the blogosphere...morning sickness has had me down and out for a while, but I'm officially returning to real life now :) Blake and I just went in for our 16 week appointment today and the baby has a nice strong heartbeat. I don't feel sick all day every day anymore, so hopefully we're at the end of the morning sickness phase. December and January were basically a blur of gross smells, food cravings, trying not to throw up, and a lot of lame daytime TV while lying on the couch, so I'm hoping that part is over.

Anyway, we are very excited to welcome this little person into our family and I feel very grateful that the baby is healthy. I also feel very grateful that I am not working...it has been so nice being able to lay down when I feel sick. Thankfully, Taylor is a very pleasant and low maintenance toddler, so I have been able to take care of her and myself without difficulty. I am also grateful for a supportive husband and having family nearby...both sets of grandparents have babysat Taylor and provided dinner for us countless times...I don't know what we'd do without them!

Well, I know we are behind, but I'll get some Halloween and Christmas pictures up here soon...or at least before Easter :)
