Congratulations to Ray!

I am so proud of the newest professional in our little family! Ray just found out that he passed his final architectural exam and can now go through the process (hopefully short) of getting his professional seal! What an accomplishment! HUGE! If you don't know, this is quite a process for architects... 9 tests... which just takes quite a bit of time... I am so happy that they FINALLY posted the results after 9 weeks and now we can celebrate. This is a really nice thing to have done before baby T arrives. My goal was to for sure be licensed before kiddos, but little did we know both of us would be. happy days!

Kumquat?


What the heck is a kumquat?
Well, Whatever it is, little Baby T is about the size of a kumquat. Needless to say, Ray and I are *SO EXCITED*!!!
We had a 10 1/2 week appointment today and saw Baby T moving around and and punching like crazy, and that sweet little heartbeat just pounding away. I am happy to be almost done with my first Tri, hoping that the nausea will subside.

We have big Thankful hearts right now.

Thankful...

Thanksgiving was a wonderful time or shopping, eating, fellowshipping, football, driving, etc. Allison and Andrew's house is beautiful and she had quite the full house for the extended weekend, well almost a week! It was nice and cold and fun to see where she has been living the past few years. Sadie, their dog is getting so big (still small compared to Frannie) and we enjoyed loving on her since our sweet puppy didn't make the trip this time. The girls did a bit of shopping on Black Friday and found some good deals, but we did none of that 4 am craziness. We went to see "Four Christmases" on Saturday and it is really good and really funny! We laughed a lot- you should go see it!
This past monday Mom, Dad, Ray and I went to see Rockapella at MSC Opas. Mom got tickets for Christmas from a teacher-friend. It was not something that we would have necessarily picked to go to, but it was entertaining. I wouldn't necessarily want to see their regular show, but the Christmas one was fun- They are pretty entertaining and one of the guys is a beat-boxer- AMAZING! He sounded exactly like sleigh bells for several songs. He basically could do a full drum set wtih the microphones on his neck for the base drum- pretty impressive.
Unfortunately, we had a little cold bug that got spread around Thanksgiving weekend- so that has been fun for me this week... thanks rebs!
Hope your families had a wonderful holiday-
