It's only been 3 months since the last post...

Hello all,
I know that I do not have any blog followers but I figure at this point it is more of a document of what is going on in our life to look back at and remember. So I will recap what has been going on for the last few months... if I can even remember :)

Jan-Feb.... were cold and snowy but we made it! we didn't really have any visitors because everyone was afraid of the snow :)

March... Birthday Month! and Kitchen remodel...
it took longer than planned but the kitchen is wonderful and much more us :)
We had visits from Grandma Sondra (and we went to see Nemo On Ice) and Beckham got really sad when he thought nemo died on the ice. Aunt Naina came to visit for Beckham's Birthday and we had cupcakes at his school (children's house) and then went to Chunky Cheese for a Birthday celebration (3). Then that weekend I had some crawfish flown in from NOLA and we had a crawfish boil... it was good and kyle's boss Jeff and his wife Kelly came to the 1st annual Pittsburgh crawfish party. Nana (Judy) came for Easter weekend and we did some Easter eggs and Kyle and I got to go out for a grown up dinner, we went to Ruth's Chris downtown. Also in March we found out we were going to have a little girl! "Aubrey"... oh how beckham already loves Aubrey. He loves to introduce my belly to people and tell them that it is Aubrey and he loves to give her hugs and kisses and put lotion on her. Hopefully he will like her this much when she is really here.

April...whirlwind trip to Memphis and New Orleans!
So dad did it... he got married. So we went to New Orleans for the wedding but went to Memphis first. So we had a flew into Memphis and stayed at Paw Paw and Sherry's. Had lunch with Grandma Sondra then we visited with old friends Ginny, Clay, Mackinsy, Graham, Amanda, Kyle, and Aunt Naina we went to the Memphis Children's museum and then to dinner at Memphis Pizza Cafe. Jackie and her little grandson, pa pa, gi gi, and the lafferty family all went to the musume. It was a short time in Memphis then we rented a car and woke up early Friday Morning and drove to NOLA. As soon as we arrived into town and checkin into the hotel we ran into Aunt Carol and Uncle Noel. So we had lunch. then Kelly Matt and Baby Allie arrived to town. Friday night we all went to Dads condo for a Crawfish boil and met all of Cindy's kids for the first time. Then on Sat we had a big day in the french quarter- walked, ate, NOLA aquarium, swimming at the hotel, and then the wedding. The wedding was very nice at Antoine's restaurant and beckham did a great job as the ring bearer. Congrats to Cindy and dad.
Then the next day we left to drive to Memphis and I started having contractions (only 24 weeks) so needless to say I got nervous called Aunt Kerry and she said she would meet us at Baptist hospital in Memphis. So they got the contractions stooped and let me go but we missed all the food, family party at Judy's. Needless to say by the end of the day I was exhausted and we went to Papa and GiGis and crashed. Left the next day for Pitt and got back to go to doctor and everything was fine. I just like to have contractions. Then I got sick with a stomach bug and ended back in the hospital for dehydration. What a week.

May... Hot in Pittsburgh
this past month has been warm... in the 80s which last summer never broke 80.
We have been doing some house repairs and painting... the house is starting to feel like our home! Pops came to visit and the boys went to see the Pirates vs the cardinals game.
Aunt Kelly and Baby Allie came to visit and we decorated Aubrey's room and hung some pictures in the house. Memorial day weekend was not quite what we are used too (no pool) but we did have a great weekend. We went to our first Kiddo Bday party. Connor a kid from beckhams class celebrated his 3rd bday and we went to his party then we made friends with the girl who used to live in our house so that night we went over to their house for dinner and play in their yard. They have two kids Grant (5) and Isabella (2) who Beckham really enjoyed playing with. The next day they all came over along with our other neighbors Joe and Janie and we had BBQ and fireworks!

Beckham is now three and doing well. He is getting so smart but at the same time he has too much energy and not sure with what to do with it. I went to his Parent/Teacher conference and they said he was very smart... the only kid in class who could spell his name and who knew his left and right. He still does not really want to do the Potty thing... we are working on it... good with pee pee but does not want to poo poo in the potty... I think it is a control thing. His favorite band is foo fighters and he knows when they come on the radio and he starts dancing right away.
He is moving up to preschool Mid June and seems to be really excited about it!

Kyle is working hard and has really done a good job up here. He has learned the water side of the natural gas drilling. I am proud of him! He definitely has alot more stress now so we are going to have to work on that one :)

Madison is a good dog! She puts up with a lot from beckham :) she has now developed a fear of thunderstorms so we might have to get her on some doggy meds to calm her down.

Me... well I am now 31 weeks prego and still working so I guess I am doing better than when I was pregnant with beckham. I waddle and have to get weekly shots that hurt and itch... but in the end I know it is worth it. I am ready for her to come but I know it is best for her to stay put for a few more weeks :) At least my feet really haven't started to swell yet. Not really sure what our plan will be once she does decide to come... hopefully we will have some help around here but if not I guess we will make it. I have already informed kyle that his work phone will be turned off for a few days :) Planning on going back to work after Aubrey is born (12 weeks leave). I have mixed feelings about it but we decided at least until summer then we will reevaluate it. Pittsburgh is starting to feel more like home. We really do like it here but sometimes it is hard not having friends or family. We are starting to make some friends so that is good... not sure it will ever be the same but i guess that's ok :) Anyway- going to go fix Beckham some more Breakfast.
Love, Katy
