Happy Thanksgiving....

Here's to hoping your pants still fit on Friday!



Happy Thanksgiving!


Love,

Dan & Amanda

Mike (A.K.A. The brother-in-law)

Okay, Dan and I actually adore Mike. Mike is Dan's younger brother and is a pretty funny kid. He is serving a mission for our church in Samoa and well -- we love him for that too! Dan and I (which is really me, forwarding e-mails to Dan and signing both of our names) try to write Mike every week or two because well, we like him. Last week our e-mail consisted of ultrasound and belly pictures and this is what I got back...

"I enjoyed the picture of the baby but I must say my stomach looks about the same as Amanda's right now! haha no im not that fat."

I just hope I remember this when Mike's wife gets pregant... Here's to hoping!




P.S. I'm not mad -- I really did laugh.... Today must have been a good day! :)

Today.....

I want to snuggle under our big soft comforter, in my freezing cold apartment, with my sweet husband.... but instead -- I'm at work.... loving on a cute little boy!

I am not sure which one is better.



P.S. Yes, that is his sisters leopard Halloween costume. :)

40 - 21 = 19.

This means we are over our 1/2 way point. I should pat myself on the back.... this child bearing thing is hard work.

Here is my belly but, just for the record... I don't think I am as big as I look in the pictures.(Here's hoping, right?)

It is okay to have this much fun???

UNCC requires EVERYONE in the College of Education to take a special education class. I love this class -- and if I weren't married would probably have a crush on my 60+ year old teacher (but, if you ask Dan he will tell you that I already DO have a crush on him). It doesn't matter, he is just that awesome!

Anyhow, while learning about communication disorders he had us watch this video. (Oh and I just figured out how to post youtube videos to my blog...)



After that, for "FUN" we watched this one! (You have to take yourself there, b/c I try to keep politics out of my blog)

Oh, and just to be slightly educational: Kids with communication disorders are often confused and frustrated because they don't understand why what they are saying isn't clear and doesn't make sense.

Catherine -- We are the same

... Good thing I like you!

You Are Checkers

You are very logical and rational. You are able to understand what is and isn't a factor. You're able to compartmentalize and focus on the essentials. You appreciate simplicity. You can see the layers of complexity and beauty in anything. You are also playful and good natured. You don't take life too seriously!

I'm Mormon

... and I have no problem with gay people. I have not donated any money to Prop. 8 and nobody I know has. I feel like this video just pushes the boundaries of respect a little to far.
