snow days

Sadie absolutely loves the snow. She loves to play it in, throw it, eat it...you name it she loves it. With Grandpa Kim's help these girls built a great snowman in our back yard.

Grandpa's newest buddy in his all time FAVORITE position! Sweet dreams!!!!

Christmas 2009

We spent Christmas eve with Andy's family and Christmas day with my dad. One of Sadie's favorite presents was matching pajamas for her and her doll. Thanks Bri and Grandma Joye for making them. A new tradition has started!

2 months

This is our precious Myles at 2 months. He is starting to smile a lot and it is super cute with his one dimple.

Sadie is 5!!!

Sadie turned 5 this past December. We can't believe how big she is getting. She sure seems even bigger now that we have a baby in the house. She is loving Kindergarten and is learning how to read really well. She loves being a big sister and Myles is just her favorite! Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you lots!

quick update

As you can see I only have 40 days left and I am really hoping it isn't going to be even that long. Andy graduates from training two weeks from today and we are so excited to have him home soon. Sadie gets to start a new Kindergarten class at Hobble Creek where she is currently going to preschool. She is really looking forward to that. She is practicing her burping techniques with her baby dolls and learning how to wrap them in blankets. She is sooooooooo excited to become a big sister. We haven't decided on a name yet and probably won't until we see him so for now it is still baby brother or little turd (I know that is mean but it is fair since he has been sooo mean to me for 35 weeks). So that's about it, nothing too exciting going on here. I'll try to post some pictures soon, not promising any will be of me with my HUGE belly but we shall see.

eHarmony

Andy joked the other night that I should get an account with eHarmony and find my backup man. I'm starting to think this is a good idea. Andy has left me single again. This time it is for 3 months instead of 12, but still it sucks. Afghanistan was emotionally hard, this time around while he is in Georgia is more physically hard. This darn belly of mine gets in the way and makes me very very tired really easily. I need to teach Sadie how to cook for herself, dress herself. and reach all the toys in her closet by herself. I complain to Andy that it is so hard to constantly get up and down again and Sadie always has the best timing to need something..right when I sit down. His suggestion is to always stay standing. Isn't he smart ladies and gentlemen? no sympathy from him!

Andy is attending a Federal Law Enforcement class in Georgia, part of his requirement for the new grown up job he got a month ago. We will be visiting him over Labor day weekend and then he will be home just in time to put together a babies room and become a father to baby #2. That is if I can hold him in there and not let him come early. Please don't come early little guy.

Oh Boy!

This is the first post I have done since Andy has been home. How lazy am I? I blame it on the baby though. I spent almost 20 weeks throwing up and feeling miserable. I have finally gone 1.5 weeks without losing my food so hopefully progress is being made. We found out last week that the Rasmussen name will continue on in our family. Baby boy Rasmussen made an appearance at the ultra sound and Sadie is thrilled to be having a brother. It took me some time to get use to the idea, but I'm slowly coming around. We bought a pair of pajamas the other day and Sadie is so excited to be able to help dress him and watch movies that aren't scary with him. She's going to be a wonderful sister!
