Oh, the Anticipation!

Christmas is less than 24 hours away and our home is filled with the anticipation of the holiday. The gifts are wrapped and perfectly placed under the tree, the stockings are hung and already full (Santa came a bit early to our house to save time) and the cinnamon rolls are rising as I type. Christmas songs are playing on the radio and it's almost time to get ready for the annual Christmas Eve dinner in the Fisher household. After we get home tonight and put Benjamin to bed in his brand new Christmas pajamas (a tradition in our household), Nathan and I will assemble his gift so it will be the first thing he sees when he wakes up in the morning. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes what "Santa" has brought him. Oh, yes, Christmas is going to be so much fun with him this year.

Then, once the holiday is over and the decorations are stored away for another year, we can focus on the next wonderful gift we all will be receiving...a precious baby boy to welcome into the family. I can hardly wait!

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We made it. We survived the month of June. This past month was totally insane. Every weekend was filled with birthday parties, graduation ceremonies and celebrations, class reunions, and baby showers. The weekdays were spent preparing for all those events and sometimes even more parties or family dinners were held on the week nights. Of course we wanted to add to the chaos, so we threw in a camping trip up to Hume for a week as well, coming home the night before I hosted a large baby shower and family birthday dinner for Ray & Laura and their boys. Finally, to cap off the month, I attended a week-long Montessori class in SLO, requiring me to find childcare every day and get myself and both boys up and out of the house by 8 each morningYep, total madness. Oh, and did I mention that we decided to redo the front planters and while we were at it, go ahead and finally put some plants in along our driveway? Of course, I wanted it done before the party, so by the time I got my act t...

Baby Bump

I finally got around to snapping a couple pictures of my pregnant belly. I'll try to be more diligent as the weeks progress and I grow even bigger...gulp.

It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This

Has it really been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog? I know that I posted my farewell to the Atascadero Fire Department back in March, but the last post before that occurred all the way back to last summer...yikes! So this is how blogs just fade away... Life is busy. Between all the duties that come along with being a wife and a mom, as well as my responsibilities outside of the home, I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. And truth be told, being a mother these days has not been fun, so I really haven't wanted to write about it. Benjamin is hard. Really hard. As in, I usually cry at least a few times a week, if not daily, from sheer frustration with him. You've heard of the term "strong willed child?" Ben could be the poster child for that book. The two of us are so much alike. We both fight for control and power and we do it poorly, in the form of threats, screams, and hands thrown up in exasperation. On one particular night, the defian...
