First the Police get back together... and now this?

First of all, thank you so much for posting those pictures, Aimee-- oh my God, the kids are getting so big and they are both so freaking ADORABLE! They are both going to be little heartbreakers... you better watch out when they go to summer camp!!!! ;)

Also-- thanks so much for the flowers-- Nate and I were so surprised and touched that you would send us flowers! I loved the margarita glass-- so cute!!!!

I guess I should explain why Aimee sent me flowers-- well, Nate and I are, at long last, officially parents-to-be!!!! I am 6 weeks pregnant as of yesterday, and have a due date of October 20... so yes, along with the Police going on tour, it is a sign that hell has indeed frozen over, or at least, that anything is possible. After 2 years of trying, we are really hoping everything will go well with the pregnancy-- I know it's still really early, so we haven't told everyone we know yet, but I thought you guys should know!!! I can finally start posting pictures of my human children! Whee! I must have asked Aimee a hundred and fifty questions when I called her this week with the news-- but all of you have your own insights and wisdom to impart, so any advice would be so appreciated... I am pretty overwhelmed, to say the least. It's going to be the first grandchild on both sides of our family, so needless to say everyone is pretty excited about it, especially my parents, who are going to be moving to Chicago in the next month or so (finding out I was pregnant was an added bonus)!

I'm tired most of the time, and don't exactly have morning sickness but sometimes I just feel really not hungry-- and it's random. I made poached eggs on toast for breakfast this morning, and I thought it tasted so good, as soon as I finished I went back to the kitchen to make some more-- and as I was washing out the egg poacher I suddenly wondered how I had managed to eat it the first time, it sounded so unappealing. For the most part I feel all right though.

Anyway, that's the biggest news we've had in quite a while. Carolyn, how is your second pregnancy going? Did you have your baby yet? Please post some pictures if you can!!!!

Hello everyone!! Thought I'd post some fun pix as it's been a while. The top one is our "Valentine's Day" picture and the bottom 2 pretty much sum up the personalities of my kids these days: a sweet & innocent smile and a growl!!

I just decorated a Lightning McQueen cake for Tyler's 3rd birthday. After doing 2 years of store bought decorated cakes, I decided that I could do it myself this year. Well, I really can't. Hopefully he doesn't mind the complete lack of artistic ability and the fact that I couldn't get the frosting quite red enough, so McQueen is kinda PINK!! Yeah - store bought cakes rock (especially Tractor ones, right Lisa & Nate?).

I miss you all & think of you often. I wanna see more pictures of the kids! :)

Okay, It Was Short...

...but that rocked. Yes, we've all heard Sting sing "Roxanne" like a bazillion times now, and yes, I wish they would have done a couple of songs (especially considering the Grammys are slated to last three-and-a-half hours, hello) instead of just the one. They could have done one of their signature let's-weave-half-a-dozen-of-our-songs-into-one dealies... but I'm willing to live with short and sweet if they'll consider doing that on their new tour.

YES.
