Update

I'm really not trying to be a slacker, I promise! We've just been extra busy around here lately, so I haven't had time to update our blog, or to really visit any, either. This won't be the greatest post, but if I don't get these pictures up now, I probably won't!

DISCLAIMER: Before you look further on this post and see the most recent pictures of me, please know that you may be shocked at my enormous size. But just so you know, I ALREADY KNOW I'm huge! So please don't judge! The fact that I'm even posting pictures of me in this embarrassing state is a big deal for me. So no thoughts of "Oooh...Jen's really let go of herself," or "Wow, is that a whale? No, maybe it's a hippo," or "That poor Derrick. He could do better..." etc. I've already thought of them all, and already have a plan set to reach that goal of mine to be back in shape within 6 months of giving birth to this precious little baby who's almost here! (Which, by the way, I went to the Dr. yesterday and I haven't dilated a bit! This baby is in for the long haul!)

The "Cleanest" present-opener ever!
Cecily had to throw away EACH piece of wrapping paper she ripped off...you can imagine how long it took to open gifts!

Our Little Bag Lady
You wouldn't believe how much this girl can carry!


CANCUN 2008!
Derrick and I took a little getaway to Cancun a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to spend some time together, but I sure missed Cecily!! I didn't realize until we got home that we didn't take any pictures of the beach or where we stayed with my camera. We got it on our camcorder, however, so I'll have to download some video later.


On the bus

Derrick made friends with the band at a fun mexican restaurant we went to. He had a great time speaking spanish to the people who lived in Cancun.

At our hotel lounge watching this hilarious old couple dancing. They had about as much rhythm as Derrick and I do. But I have to hand it to them for having the guts to get up and dance! (we got them on video, so you may see me post it later) And, no, I'm not as wasted as I look! I had a cold and my eyes totally swelled up!

Chichen ItzaI'm such a hottie.

It was raining this day, but it was still so nice (and warm enough) to go sit by the ocean.

Little Miss Cecily
It was so much fun to come home to this little girl! Thanks to Grandma Thomas for driving all the way down to NM to watch her!
