In this picture I am 6 months pregnant, here with my boys and my sisters kids.

There has been ALOT of lying around on the couch during this pregnancy.

Shane made this gingerbread house during ayyam-i-ha with the boys from one of those kits that was sent over from Great grandma. The kids LOVED it.

The boys got matching lighting mcqueen jackets from Grandma, they are a very big hit around here!

After ayyam-i-ha ended, I set to work getting ready for baby. My sister and her daughter pulled down all the garbage bags full of baby clothes that we have been hoarding for the last 7 years. It was quite overwhelming and took me 4.5 hours to sort it all out and organize what I was keeping and what to get rid of.

Now 3 weeks away from Due date. I just have a few things left to get and clean and then we will be all ready for the birth of our new baby girl. I can hardly believe that it is almost here. I have had to simplify everything to the max this year, and had no leftover energy to blog, or paint or draw. I guess a lot of creativity goes into making a whole new person (and raising a family on top of it). I am so thankful that we have all made it this far and are still somewhat sane and healthy .
