This is our church group. Adam is transferring to Romania this week, so we took a picture. This is inside where we have Sacrament Meeting. Right behind us is where the sacrament is blessed. You can see the keyboard on the right, where I play the hymns. And just to the left is a stand alone pulpit (like at Primary) for talks. In the "congregation" is just normal folding chairs that we sit in. It's a pretty basic room, but it's nice to have! I wish I wasn't wearing my coat- my bump is finally noticeable!

We're all doing good. Zumba class has been so much fun. I look forward to it so much. I wish I could go three times a week, but can only get away two mornings. I'm finally feeling pregnant. My last Zumba class, I wouldn't say my stomach was in THE WAY, but suddenly it was THERE and I couldn't pull up my knee as high for certain moves and during our cool down we bent forward and I couldn't do it very well, because my stomach just stopped me short a little bit. My stomach is starting to feel more "hard" and pregnant like. Less squishy. I forgot what that feels like! It's weird to think about a tiny baby and breast feeding again. I know it wasn't that long ago I was doing it all, but it feels like it! I don't want to jinx myself- but I think it's all going to work out with this one! I just have faith that the baby will sleep better and get in a schedule and life will still be great, even with lots of naps and feeding! My mind is sort of processing- "Ok, I'll have a newborn, but I have 2 kids that need to GET OUT and I want to GET OUT. WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT!!!!!" I DON'T want to stay couped up for 4 months. That's usually my routine. It's REALLY hard for me to get back in teh swing of things, after a baby. But I'm hopeful this one will sleep, then I'll be able to sleep- that makes a DRAMATIC difference right there. And if this one just falls into a great schedule, we can actually PLAN THINGS. We HAVE to plan things. I don't have a car I can just jump into when the baby wakes up. I have to tell Pavel what time. That can be difficult with a newborn. But I don't know, I really do have this good feeling like it's all gonna work out.

I made Reeses Chewy Chocolate Cookies today and they were sooooooo good. It's been a long time. We made them for Adam and his friend Robbie, who were leaving. Man, they were good. I guess there's not much to report on. Things are good. 

I've been thinking about throwing a kid party- just for the heck of it. Maybe a Pirate Party, or something BUG themed. Any ideas? Scarlet had her birthday RIGHT after we moved here and we didn't really have friends yet, so I want her to have a special party. And what the heck, it's winter and boring- why not have an Unbirthday Party of some kind? But really- if you have a great idea, let me know!

I FORGOT!!!! I cut someone's hair! It was so much fun!!!! It was a major change for her- short, sassy and fun- it was just the sort of cut I like to do. She loved it and we all went to a party that night and everyone saw it and was really impressed and talking about getting their own hair cut by me. It felt good. I've missed that feeling. It will sound snooty, but it was nice to have people know I was GOOD at something. My hair really isn't amazing right now and that's all that really represents me as a stylist. Now I feel like people are impressed and I like that! It's been so long since I've done any hair- I was starting to worry I'd lost my touch. But I was so happy with it. I definitely want to get back into it when the kids grow up. I think that would be so fun.
