Coming Soon...

So I've been a lame blogger this week, but I've had a big excuse. We moved! We've been unpacking boxes, arranging and rearranging furniture, and we just got our internet running. Anyhow, we'll have some pictures and more exciting things to post soon, so bear with us. I at least changed my background and banner to keep things a little more exciting. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

A Real Pregnant Moment...

Well, let's just say the clumsiness, the forgetfulness, and the awkwardness has definitely set in already. I was really busy on Thursday and I ran home to teach a few piano lessons. When I got home I found a piece of popcorn that Rex had dropped on the floor, but it was now covered with ants. (Sidenote: I have serious issues with ants, but that's a whole different story for another day.) I did what any Magill girl would do....I sprayed them with Windex. Then I grabbed all that I could in a paper towel and RAN to the outside garbage can. I had to lean out the side door in our garage to reach the can and all I was thinking about was ants possibly crawling all over my hands. I leaned too far forward and BAM! The door closed on me. I was locked out and my piano students were minutes away from arriving. So, the bottle of Windex and I waited on my porch until my students arrived. I explained to them what happened and begged them to take me to my sister's house to get a key. Luckily, they are great understanding people. They even offered me chocolate truffles during the rescue mission. (Thanks, Wynders! You guys rock.)

What I learned:
1) Windex DOES kill ants.
2) If I ever have a minivan I'm going to keep chocolate truffles in it.
3) Hide-a-keys wouldn't be a bad investment.

Hanging With Mr. Cooper....

I have been wanting to get some shots of my newest little nephew lately and finally I got a chance. First, though, is a group shot of all three boys. I think this might be my very favorite picture ever.

May I present 'lil Mr. Cooper!

He is so good-natured. He has the sweetest smile and these eyes that just sparkle.

Is that a kissable face or what? Seeing the boys play kind of makes me hope the next one is a boy, too. Then again, a stroll through the kid clothing section does really make me want a girl.

Something's Going On Here....

Lately I haven't been myself. Here are some of my symptoms:

1) I have to eat often. I keep cereal on my nightstand for emergency purposes.
2) While I don't feel I've been irritable, my husband might disagree.
3) I've started tracking my life in weeks (currently at 12).
4) I am super tired all the time.
If you still don't get it, see the picture below. Rex and Jeff had fun playing at my first appointment a few weeks ago. Rex the cowboy knows stir-ups when he sees them :) Luckily I didn't have to use them for that appointment.

I'm due at the end of May, though if this baby's anything like Rex, he or she probably won't make an appearance until June. If this pregnancy is like the last, then I've got a couple more weeks of feeling like I'm going to hurl all the time and then things will be better.

Lost Boys

Cass and the boys came over for a little bit today. Cam taught Rex one of his favorite tricks at our house. They were pretty funny together.

Packing Up

I snapped a few pics of my little man today.
He was busting out some pretty smooth moves. He was really excited to play on daddy's skateboard.
It was a beautiful, cool, autumn day. We're trying to take advantage of those before they're all gone.
We have less than two weeks left till the big move! Rex helped me with the packing yesterday. Shortly after, I couldn't find my phone. It was gone all day and finally this morning I heard a muffled ring. Apparantly Rex had slipped it into the bottom of the box we had packed up. Whoops! I was pretty relieved to find it.
I wanted to get one last picture of him by our street number.
