Brand New Blog background

I'm pretty excited about my brand new blog background, so I thought I would list some of the other things that I'm excited about right now.

1. I ordered some things for my girlies big girl rooms! They won't be making the transition to true big girl beds until December but Carl and I have been purchasing pieces of the sets we've chosen for them. I'm excited that their rooms are becoming more complete. We will be painting their furniture soon too.

2. Wendy's shower and wedding. I think both events will be very fun. Especially her wedding because it will be beautiful and we'll be staying in a lovely condo on the beach.

3. Our Disney trip this November. I'm really enjoying planning it at this point and I love showing the girls all of their different options for when we go. Alie is excited to ride the Haunted Mansion and Snow White's Scary Adventure. Laney is not so sure about those rides, but thinks Peter Pan and Mickey's Philharmagic sound pretty good. I think Carl has three very excited ladies on his hands for the next 9 months!!

4. Our trip to the beach with Carl's family. Everyone is going...Dan and Mindy, Sue and Carl, all of the cousins and aunts are uncles are assembling in Rehobeth in a gigantic house! My girlies love the beach and I know there will be plenty of time for reading, relaxing, playing in the sand, swimming and cooking (all things that I love!).

5. The spring. I think my girls and I have cabin fever. It's supposed to be much warmer this weekend and we are planning to spend a lot of it outside (well and studying for finals...why did I want my masters again?!?). As the summer approaches, I know my girls will want to help me plant and water flowers (its one of their favorite things to do with their grandmothers) and I'm looking forward to sharing that with them too.

6. Our new car! Next month we will be purchasing a brand new CRV and I can't wait. It will have plenty of room for our girls and it really seems like it will fit all of our needs. As most everyone knows, we are a drive everywhere family and this search for the perfect car has been quite long. It will be nice to have something a little larger than the jetta that I love (as opposed to the explorer that I absolutely hated!)

That's all for now. Perhaps later this week I will work on posting pics of my lovely girlies!
