Team Anders

Hola family & friends!  It's officially the start of my weekend and also marks week 25 of little Anders' training (will make more sense if you read this ).  Little man continues to practice his latest dance moves in my belly which is entertaining (and little strange as I begin to figure out what little baby parts I'm actually feeling in there)!  Not so entertaining when the dance party starts at 0200 but I'm sure all you parents out there are just thinking to yourself "just wait..." so I won't complain. ;) Anyway, one of my reasons for starting this blog was to share this pregnancy with all our loved ones scattered across the globe. Since I had a co-worker tell me today that I "look more and more pregnant everyday" I figured it was time to post a picture of my ever-expanding belly.  As promised in my original Facebook post you won't find any bare belly action here so no worries, you're safe!!

Didn't see this one coming but my husband has officially become addicted to reading!  Recent obsession = Jodi Picoult .  If you're looking for something fun to fill the void that your favorite TV shows have left during the "holiday break" pick one up.  He's currently cruising through " Salem Falls " - which he didn't put down the entire time I was building this blog yesterday - and I'm about a 1/4 through " House Rules ".  Not sure what "SF" is all about but "HR" centers around a family with an autistic child and the disappearance of his social skills tutor.  Wow, with that review I should just quit the military and become a critic...at any rate, it's a definite page turner so far! Well there's the timer indicating our gourmet Newman's Own cheese pizza is ready to eat so I'm outie.  Cheers from the New England tundra :)

I use quotes around blizzard because I don’t think we quite got the winds necessary to officially declare “BLIZZARD” but nonetheless it snowed... and it snowed for quite a while.  As I currently look out the window at our clear shot of I-93 the cars are moving along just fine and there’s plenty of clear asphalt.  Despite the excellent preparation for and removal of the snow by MassDOT the gates of Hanscom AFB remain closed this AM and Jace and I get to spend the day lounging!  So VERY excited that neither of us have to worry about shoveling or clearing sidewalks - the perks of apartment living, right? Snow on our balcony furniture Regardless of how much I’d rather just stay inside today the little one still has to do her business outdoors - potty pad training at 5 years old has been a major failure, ha!  Here are some photos from our adventures at 7am.
