Changes

We're back! My 8 month hiatus from the blogging world has certainly not been for a lack of things going on. Perhaps sometime, I'll catch up with everything from these past several months, but for now we'll stick to...well, now! 2010 is proving to be a BIG year for our family. In 3 short weeks we'll pack up our belongings, get on a plane, and bid Switzerland a very fond farewell. What a great adventure the last 5 1/2 years have been! It has been the most difficult and the most amazing time of my life. Despite all of the chaos that comes with an international move, I'm trying to savor every minute I have left in this beautiful place.

For the next couple of months we'll be settling into our new home in Philadelphia. It's going to be a big change from living in the middle of nowhere Switzerland, especially for our kids who have never lived anywhere else.

We're all a little nervous and sad to leave, but we're also very excited to move on to our next adventure!

We won't have much time to settle in Philly before the next BIG change comes along. After years of debating, we finally came to the conclusion that our family was not complete. We're excited to welcome a new little BOY to our family in October! Danny and Rachel are particularly excited and give us daily name suggestions. Their most recent contributions include: Scadalahara, Sam (love the name Samuel, but Samuel Jackson???), Wall-E, and Rachie-Boy.

Danny took this picture at about 17 weeks. In the past 3 weeks, it literally feels like my belly has doubled in size...along with several other parts of my body.

This has been a very different pregnancy. For the first time, I have experienced major morning sickness and continue to experience it at 20 weeks. On a more positive note, after four years, I forgot how fun it is to feel those little kicks and somersaults. We can't wait to meet this little guy, but we hope he stays put until his due date!!
