Our life right now

We've been busy. good busy. tired busy. not sure what we've been accomplishing, but busy. We've got some fun (I guess you call them fun - sometimes they don't seem that fun - but they are fun) things going on with our family.

6920 Newton is officially a rental house - our tenants moved in a couple weeks ago (this is wonderful news!)

We're moving to Wayzata on Saturday - we're renting and taking a break from house hunting for a year (I'm warming up to this idea...)

We bought a mini van (I'm super pumped about this - never did I think this would be so exciting - I secretly think Curt is pretty excited about his 'sports van' too!)

Curt & I took separate before baby trips last weekend - he went snowmobiling up north with some friends & I spent the weekend in Decorah with my good friend Jamie. Both of us had great & relaxing trips. Jamie & I tried to relive our lazy Saturday college days - but for some reason with these 3 little ones it wasn't quite the same as our college days living on Campus Ave. But we had a blast (and so did Joe - at least once he had a glass of whisky & water in hand!) 



And.. Baby #3 should be here within the next month - we had an ultrasound last week - she's beautiful, healthy & we are super excited to meet her. We showed the kids a picture & Jack informed us that she's a boy - he's become quite insistent lately that 'she's a boy' I really hope he's not disappointed! (I'm getting a little scared about her arrival - but excited don't get me wrong!)
My ankles are approximately the size that my calves used to be and my calves are growing to the size of my thighs... which in turn - ok I'll stop there - I'm swelling up. I walk like a little old lady, especially when I try to roll out of bed.. and rolling over - that's a whole other story. The end of this pregnancy has definitely been different than with Jackson and Lauren. 

The kids spent some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa in Iowa last week - they loved it! and Curt & I loved it - THANK YOU MOM AND DAD! 



This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Tetzlaff are coming to help us move - THANK YOU GEORGE & JACKIE! Have I ever mentioned how lucky Curt & I are to have such wonderful parents?!

 Now I should really get to packing! Happy Tuesday.
