Waiting....

Tomorrow is the official start of Spring,

but I'm still waiting...

for this...

to turn into this.

Counting down the days...

Feeling Like a Bear in Hibernation

It seems like this winter has lasted forever!!! There's been lots of snow thanks to Old Man Winter. There was a point where the weather started to warm up & melt the snow we had here in good ole South Dakota, then Mother Nature decided she wanted to throw more snow & cold weather our way. That darn groundhog even told us that spring would come early, but I guess he's never experienced weather in the Dakotas.

Lately, we've been cooped up in our nice, warm home, but today I had a doctor's appointment for my Glucose Test (YUCK!!!) & had to go to town. Here is my darling husband shoveling our walk for us & a pic of the road on the way to town. As pretty as it is, I've had just about enough of all this white stuff!!! Can't wait for warmer weather!!!

Another thing I can't wait for is to pop out this baby. Tomorrow marks 28 weeks into this pregnancy...that means HELLO THIRD TRIMESTER! That also means the end of that "good" second trimester feeling, and onto the unpleasant back aches, heartburn, swollen hands & feet, shortness of breath, fatigue & frequent trips to the bathroom that the last trimester calls for. It's actually been a pretty good pregnancy. I shouldn't complain. I had no morning sickness the first trimester and have felt quite good this second trimester. Now I just hope pulling into the homestretch of this pregnancy won't be too uncomfortable. We are really looking forward to meeting our new little one though. The kids came to our first ultrasound appointment last month & were really excited to see the pictures & hear the baby's heartbeat. Since then, they love feeling mommy's tummy & blowing raspberry kisses to their new little baby brother or sister. It's the cutest!!!

I have been considerably lazy these last few months, but I have good reason, don't I? Trying to keep up with two little rugrats who get into everything, while carrying another one in the womb is a tough job. I hardly have any time for myself. Anyway, here are a few pics of the fam since Christmas...

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!!

Since we have a big boy who just turned one, we let him write our family Christmas letter this year. Here it is:

Best wishes for a great holiday season & a blessed New Year!!

Love,

The Robertson Family

It's a ONE-derful Life...

CHANCE IS ONE!!!

We can hardly believe it. The year just flew by. Time really does fly when you're having fun.

We celebrated little man's 1st birthday with a small little get together with a few friends at home on Sunday evening. We had a nice little dinner, then let Chance have his birthday (cup)cake & eat it too. He wasn't quite sure what to make of all that sweet goodness in front of him. We thought he would just tear into it, but he was nice and neat about the whole thing. Such a good boy!

Thanks for growing up to be such a wonderful little boy!

YOU are a STAR!

Shine bright always!!!

We love you buddy!!

And here is the candy bandit herself. Caleigh made her infamous debut in the local paper as she reached for a basket of treats & got "Caught in the Act." Too cute!!!

And, last but certainly not least...

well, you get the picture...

2 pink lines = one more blessing to be thankful for!
