Hi All

Hi Everybody - just letting you know I'm back from the land of the nauseated and dead tired. I don't know if you have heard, but I am expecting a baby, due to come in the end of November. We are very excited! For the last two months, however, I have barely kept my head above water... it should be against the law to be that tired. I'm feeling better now, thank goodness. We are about 12 weeks and everything is going well. So now I will be able to post comments on the wonderful things you have written in the last little while and hopefully add something of my own.

Just another bit of news - Meghan has had her baby - a bouncing baby boy. Wow, what the labor she had, but it all ended well in a beautiful black haired baby and a healthy happy Mom. That is what it is really all about. So congrats Meg! I imagine she'll have her hands busy for the next little while, so enjoy your leave of absence, but come six months when that baby is sleeping through the night (ha ha ha) we'd love to here some more from her... okay, how about we give her a year!

Hope this finds you all well and happy and I hope to hear more from all of us soon.

-Becky

Mothers Day Limericks

Happy Mothers Day! My husband and I had fun making up limericks for a mothers day card to send to our families.  Hope you all are having a good weekend.

There once was a mother from Yother

who always said something or other. 

Wash your hands.  Wipe your nose.

Stop licking the hose, and 

after I cut my own hair:  Oh brother!

My mother is funny indeed - 

stores mashed peas on her shirt when in need.

Her hairs stuck to a cup

from glue not quite cleaned up.

Now on her knees and rocking full speed.

There once was a young boy named Tom

who puked all over his mom.

Though the ninth time that day,

it had been ten yesterday

so she managed to stay perfectly calm.

Haiku
