Dills and Marshes Reunited!!

We don't live on an island anymore, we haven't seen eachother for 8 months, Kelly and I are both pregnant....but we all agreed that it felt like nothing has changed between the four of us! Well actually, the eight of us! The dogs were so excited to see eachother too! They played the same they did in Puerto Rico! It was so fun to see Kelly and Courtney again...we spent most of the time talking and laughing about all of our memories of the two years we spent together in Puerto Rico! It was nice to see where they live in Leavenworth, they have a cute house with a big back yard that Benny and Lola loved.
Brent and I left Friday afternoon and we got to Kansas about 2 in the morning! Kelly and the dogs were waiting up for us, Courtney was sleeping but woke up when we got there. He had a wrestling match the next day...we all went and watched his coaching skills! His wrestlers did good, even though I know absolutely nothing about wrestling.
On Sunday Kelly and I went shopping for baby and maternity clothes! Oh they found out baby Marsh is a boy!! ( who was right?!?!) We had a blast! It is so fun having a friend pregnant as well! We came home and showed the boys all we bought...we could tell they were impressed: ) Then Saturday night we met Kelly's parents for dinner at Hooters.
We left early this morning and made it back to TX in 8 and a half hours!
We already miss them, but know it won't belong til we see them again. They are planning on coming down in April! Hopefully Hattie will be here, if not, they will have to see one crabby pregnant lady I am sure: )



We always have to take these silly pictures!

The babies meeting eachother: )

Cousin Jeff comes to Texas!

Our cousin Jeff came down last weekend to see us all and get away from the Minnesota winter for a while! We had a great time with him! Marina and Braedon loved playing with him!

Brent and I are going to Kansas on Friday! We are so excited to see Kelly ( and baby), Courtney, Miller, and Winston! The dogs are going to go crazy seeing eachother again! We might know tomorrow if baby Marsh is a boy or girl! How exciting! This is going to be a fun weekend!!...now we just need to get through the rest of this week.
Brent and I started child birth classes on Thursday of last week...I am a little nervous to go this week because of our laughing episode we had last time during relaxing breathing time! Hopefully we don't get kicked out...we need to learn more before baby girl's arrival!
Have a fantastic rest of the week!

Christmas, New Years, and a Wedding!!

It is Sunday morning and I am thinking about all I have to do today before school starts again tomorrow. Ugg! We have had 2 weeks off of school but we have been go, go, go the entire time. We had a very nice vacation though.... My mom got here on the 19th and stayed for a week, unfortunetly she ended up getting sick the last few days: ( My dad stayed home in SD, but will try to come down before Spring.
On the 27th, Brent and I flew to Denver. We were excited to finally meet Tracy's fiance, Don before their wedding on New Years Eve. We both really like Don and think him and Tracy make an excellent couple. Their wedding was so beautiful! We all stayed up until midnight to ring in the new year! We got to spend lots of time with Brent's parents and Jaron over the week, so it was very nice and relaxing! Cathy and I went shopping and got lots of new clothes for baby Hattie! I wish I had has many clothes as she already has: )
Well we are already into January and I have a feeling these 3 months before the baby gets here are going to fly by. We are going to begin our house hunt again next week, the over Martin Luther King day we are going to Kansas to visit the Marshes!, we also begin our parenting/child birth classes this week!! I think we will stay plenty busy!
