Let It Snow and a HO HO HO!

So the weather outside is not that frightful. I thought that it was going to snow a lot, oh well maybe it will still come. I am so glad that we are going to have a white Christmas! I really love the snow this time of the year, it is in another month or two that I am ready for it to be gone.
So a couple of weeks ago we took the kids to WX Elementary to see Santa. We waited for about an hour, but it was worth it! The kids were so excited to tell Santa what they wanted. Luke was very nervous and it took all of his courage to tell Santa that he wants Geo Tracks Airport for Christmas. I was very proud of him! Jenna was very prepared and had written a list, all by herself and gave it to Santa. It was very cute! Santa gave them a big bag of peanuts and treats too. Speaking of Santa, the other day Dave and Jenna were talking about what they wanted for Christmas. Dave said that he wanted some hair. Jenna said" like a wig?" Dave said " No, real hair on my head." Jenna looked at him and said, " He's not that magic!" We had a pretty good laugh at that!

Jenna was able to perform at the Festival of Trees this year. They did a dance as snowflakes to Walkin in a Winter Wonderland. She new the whole dance almost perfect and helped the other girls to remember their steps. She did an awesome job! It was quite miraculous that Dave even made it to see her dance. The parking was horrific! He waited for a long time and fortunately they started late and Jenna was towards the end and He walked in right as they were taking the stage. We were very grateful that he didn't miss it.

We have had such a fun time this month! I think that the kids are so cute dressed up in their snow stuff. They have really been enjoying the snow and having hot chocolate. On Saturday they were able to play outside while I went to see Twilight. Yes, I finally saw it and I loved it for the most part(but that is another discussion!)Anyway, it is such a fun time of the year! My kids are counting down until Christmas, every morning the first thing that they do is run downstairs to do the calendar. It has been so nice because I don't feel stressed. I only have a few presents to wrap , which I love to do( just ask my family about the tip jar!)AHHH life is good!:)

An Update

So it has been awhile, unfortunately my computer is very moody and only works about half of the time so I haven't been very good at updating, but then again, I never was. So here is a little recap of a few event that have happened over that last month or two.

This was Halloween. I have my beautiful ballerina, my handsome knight and my sweet butterfly. The kids had a wonderful time trick or treating and had way too much candy!

This is my birthday boy! Luke is now three years old! I can hardly believe it. He keeps saying what a big boy he his now. ( if only he would go potty). He really was excited when he opened his new GeoTracks Train, Bull and Bruno. We went to Chuck-e- Cheese. He was a little grumpy, a little too much birthday, I think. But after awhile he warmed up to the craziness of that place!

This is Kira cheering on the Utes! She is a cute little Ute! We of course are totally happy for our Utes! For those of you who live in a cave, they are undefeated with an awesome win over BYU! They are now headed to the Sugar Bowl, I wish we were too!

Kira is now about two and a half months now! Time just goes so fast. She is sleeping pretty well, like 10-5:00am most days. She is also adjusting to naps and life in general. She is such a smiley, sweet girl! She smiles at mommy everyday! ( which makes it all worth it!)It is so nice now, because she will take a bottle and so I feel like I can have a life again. She is just so sweet!

Now, it is almost Christmas! I cannot believe how fast time flies! I do love this time of the year!

I should be sleeping...

So it is 10:00 pm and all my kids are asleep and I really should be because as all new mothers know, you have to sleep when you can! But I just wanted to check in for a minute without three kids bugging me. So life with three kids is well...good/crazy/fun/busy...etc. It seems like the kids get the crankiest at meal times and I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off! But really we are adjusting very well. We have a few melt downs now and then, but overall Jenna and Luke love their little sister very much, sometimes a little too much! So I was able to finally drive again! I felt so wonderful to get out of the house and to be able to drive myself. We just went to the doctor but still, it was out of my house. Speaking of the Doctor, at two and a half weeks, Kira and me are doing very well! I actually can fit in two pairs of pants, so that is always very exciting! Anyway, I really should go to bed now. Thanks to everyone for the congrats and help and everything! We are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! More to come soon.... Good Night!

Welcome Kira Nancy Plowman!!

So here is my story, on Monday, Oct. 6th (two days before my scheduled c-section) I woke up feeling more uncomfortable than ever, after a not-so-good night's sleep. I was feeling a lot of pressure (buckle up), but not really contractions. Well, I told Dave and had him be on alert all day, just in case. My Mom came down with my two nieces Hannah and Grace to play with my kids. So it was pretty lively at my house! This was my day to take the kids to the bus stop and I was not about to walk with how I was feeling, so I decided to drive them. We got there and waited and waited and waited and the bus never came. All this while I am thinking, I really think I am in labor, but I had an appointment with the dr. at 1:30 so I decided I could wait until then. So back to the bus, I ended up having to take the kids to school and then drive back home and then up to my appointment, all this time being very uncomfortable! So I get to the doctor and told the receptionist that I was not feeling very well so hopefully there wasn't a long wait. After a few minutes the nurse came out and ask how come I wasn't feeling well. I told her I think that I am in labor. She was very surprised and hurried me along. I told the doctor this and she said well, lets just check, so when she checked me, I was already at 7 centimeters! So she told me to rush home and get my things and then to have someone drive me to the hospital and as soon as she could get there we would do the c-section. After this news, I called Dave and couldn't find him! I called his cell phone like 12 times and then called his office and the receptionist to help me find him. So all of Dave's work was frantically trying to locate Dave and let him know I was in labor! Fortunately my mom was at my house and she was able to take me, while Papa Woody and Grandma and Grandpa Plowman watched all the kids at my house.
On the drive to the hospital it felt like it took forever! We finally got a hold of Dave and we all raced to the hospital. We finally arrive at the hospital and my mom gets me in a wheelchair and we get in the elevator and Dave just misses us, so he just had to catch the next one. We come into labor and delivery and turn the corner and a lady pushing the lunch trays runs right into me in the wheelchair! About 10 trays fall on the floor, and luckily I only got a little bit of juice on me. It was totally a scene out of a sitcom. From there on everything was quite a rush, I was doubled-teamed by the nurses to get me ready, one of which I went to high school with - that was a surprise. So we got to the hospital about 3:00 pm and they started the c-section about 3:45pm and Kira was born at 3:59pm. So everything went very fast! I certainly felt much better in this c-section than during Luke's. After that crazy day, we have our beautiful little Kira and everything is going so well. I am recovering nicely, thanks to lots of help form Dave and grandparents and lots of wonderful friends!

Jenna couldn't be happier with baby Kira. She loves to help pick out clothes and bows for her hair. She is so sweet to Kira and the best helper to Mom and Dad!
She is always hungry! She will eat anytime if I would let her! This is a very familiar face always searching for something to eat!
Kira Nancy Plowman (Nancy is after my wonderful mother!) was born at 3:59 PM , on Monday October 6, 2008. Weighing in at 7 lbs, 9 oz. She was 20 inches long. She is our smallest baby! She is so sweet and already sleeping very well.
A first family picture! We are now a family of five. We are very blessed with three beautiful kids!
Luke is the best big brother! He just delights in her and wants to hold her and kiss her and hug her constantly.

Correction...

Sorry I suffer greatly from pregnant brain, Jenna's team is the Purple Butterflies, not Butterlies. Spellcheck didn't catch that! Enjoy!

Purple Butterlies smash Blue Diamonds!

So, I tried something different in the format and I don't like it, so you will just have to get used to this on this post.
Jenna had her first soccer game last night. She did wonderful. This is the very first time that she has ever played. She scored one GOAL!! Everyone on her team scored a goal, some girls scored many, others only one. They are a good group of girls! Jenna was most comfortable in the fullback position, not that they play positions. She was very good at defending the goal and kicked the ball away from the other teams goal three times. Not bad for her first game ever! It is certainly very entertaining to watch the girls play. They have a hard time passing the ball to others on their team. But we were all surprised that no girl was just wandering around picking flowers or grass. Everyone seemed very into the game. So I know that we are not supposed to keep score or anything because it is just for fun, and it was, but we kept score. At halftime it was 9 to 0 for the Purple Butterflies and the final score was 17 to 3 for the Purple Butterflies! I know that scores seems like we are making that up, but you should see some of these girls, they have talent! So the game was a big success and Jenna had a lot of fun and just wanted to keep playing! She can't wait until next week.

So if you look carefully at the picture of Jenna and Luke they both have scrapes on their faces, and no I did not beat them. As we were walking to the bus stop, Jenna was running and fell flat on her face. She was bleeding and so we were close enough to home that I went home and cleaned her up and then I had to take the kids( yes, I not only had Jenna, but two other neighbor kids) in the car to the bus stop so they wouldn't miss the bus.Anyway, after a rough start to the day she had a great day! Although this morning her nose is very scarred and she looks like she took quite a hit! So if that wasn't enough for one day, on the way to pick Jenna up from the bus stop, Luke runs down the driveway and falls on his face! He has got a big scrape on his forehead! Fortunately we are all recovered and hope that today we have no falls.
Well, thanks for reading about my day! I enjoyed sharing! Until next time.....

I am so tired....only six weeks left and counting!

So this was my belly in July, you can imagine how it has grown! I am just so tired! I have to walk Jenna to and from the bus stop way too many times and while it is only two streets away, when you are this pregnant it feels like miles, especially in this heat! Anyway I feel like my life is getting so crazy and then I am going to add a baby into the mix~! What was I thinking! Well, okay I am very excited to have our little baby girl in this crazy life we have. I feel like I am entering the "soccer mom" part of my life and I think " Am I really ready to do this?" or " Am old enough for this yet?" Well ready or not, it is here! Jenna started Kindergarten and apparently everything else! Well, I guess that is just how life is, right moms? Well I hope that it is a nice Labor day weekend for everyone, although I wish it was a real "labor" day for me. oh well, my day will come! Until next time....

Its good to be back!

I forgot how much fun it is to blog! It is fun to be back and look at my blog. Anyway, not much has happened, we made it through the weekend. We went to the Bees game with Dave's work. Not bad to have free tickets and free dinner. We were so lucky to have Jon and Lori and Hannah there with us! They make everything fun! The kids had a fun time although for Dave most of the game was spent standing in line to get food for his very pregnant wife! How lucky am I? I really really wanted those nachos! Thanks honey! Anyway we had a fun time there was fireworks after the game. One minute Luke was talking about the fireworks and how he wanted to see them and the next minute he was totally asleep and slept all the way until we got home. Jenna was awake to see them and loved all the pink ones! Afterwards we had just passed the bathroom and wouldn't you know it, Jenna had to go potty! So we go out of way to the 7eleven and of course, the restroom was out of order! So we convinced her that she could hold it until we got home and after several obstacles, including a train that stopped on the tracks(AHHHHH WE HATE THAT!) we finally made it home and Jenna was able to relieve herself. We were all very hot and tired and quite onery, and of course my feet were swollen too. But the game was fun as always and we survived!

Oh I totally forgot the other big news this weekend, my Luke is in a booster seat! We bought one a few months ago because it was a good deal and has not stopped talking about it! We wanted to measure and weigh him so that he would be safe. Well, we finally did it and he is just big enough. He wants to go somewhere all the time so that he can sit in his booster seat! At the Bees game he said "I am ready to go now" I asked him where he wanted to go and he said, " I want to sit in my booster seat." he loves that he is getting so big!

Well until next time......

Jenna's first week of Kindergarten!

HOLY COW!! AM I OLD enough to have a daughter in Kindergarten? Well ready or not it is here!Jenna started school last monday. She was totally excited! I think that I was more nervous than her. She had on all of her new clothes and shoes and was ready to go!
This is Jenna and her friend Brianna waiting for the bus. All the kids screamed when the bus came! It was so cute!
I think that it has been an adjustment for all of us. Jenna has been especially tired this week, it has been a lot to get used to. She also has wanted to be with me a lot. Luke and liked it a lot to have all to himself. But he loves it when we go to the bus stop to get Jenna and so they can play!As soon as the bus comes he says " is our Jenna on that bus?" and then screams and runs to her!
Jenna was very excited about school and new friends and riding the bus. Even after the first day when we had a mix up and Jenna was not at the bus stop that we were waiting for her at. She was very calm and collected while I was a nervous wreck! But everything is worked out now and and beens great! She loves her teacher and all of the new experiences!

Wow!! I am a slacker!!

Okay all you bloggers....please forgive me for my lack of blogging this summer, well okay it is more like a year! Pregnancy and me do not agree so sometimes things in my life just don't happen. Anyway, I am down to single digets until this baby comes. She will come in six and a half weeks. Yeah, for those of you who don't know we are having a girl! We are very excited! I think that Luke is going to be her best friend because he has not missed a day in the last six months of talking to my belly, not only once a day but several! It is totally adorable!

Okay let's see what has been going on. It has been way too hot for me, I am anxiously awaiting the start of fall, for more than one reason! Let me just recap a few things over the summer.... In June we we so happy to be part of Biz and Jeff's wedding, everything was perfect for them, I think. Again it was a little too hot for me, but whats new? They have been happily married for two months now. Speaking of happily married....Dave and I celebrated our 7th anniversary in June as well. I am feeling very old! June continued to be busy with going to Lagoon with Dave's company. The kids had a fantastic time and were very brave on all the kiddie rides, well except for Puff. Luke backed out at the last minute and Jenna was screaming and crying the whole time! And me, well I sat and took pictures and again was very hot! I did really enjoy Lagoon-a Beach, the water was so cold, I loved it! We also went camping at Cherry Hill with the Woodbury family and also up to the Uinta Mountains . It is always fun to camp! But I swore after those two times that I would go again because it was too hot and uncomfortable and I haven't! We have also been swimming a few times in our little pool in the backyard and also at Uncle Jonnys house. We saw fireworks at Eaglewood, the kids loved this! But I think even more than the fireworks was playing in the sand traps before the show started! We have also been to the Aquarium and went to the handcart days carnival in Bountiful. It was very fun for the kids, we were lucky because Grandma Cham and Aunt Kim came with us too. Dave was cooking, shucking and selling corn in our stakes corn booth (what a good man!)

Whew! That was a lot to write about and that is just a brief account of our summer days. They unfortunately or fortunately( depending on how you look at it ) are over. Jenna started school this last week, so we are into school life for quite awhile now. ( I will do a new post on that later).

Sorry the pictures are up at the top, it's been a while since I have done this. Well, keep checking and hopefully I will be better at blogging, you just never know.........

update

Hey everyone, if there is anyone out there wtill looking at my blog. Its been awhile, sorry! I am finally feeling a lot better. I still throw-up most mornings but then I am pretty good the rest of the day. I am now about 18 weeks. We find out what we are having on May 23rd, so I will definately update so that everyone can know. We are very excited, Jenna wants a girl and Luke wants a boy(big surprise right?) Not too much longer and we will know! YEAH!

well, Life has just been moving right along these days. Jenna is almost finished with preschool, and will start school August 11th. I can't believe how grown up she is. She is my helper and I don't know what I would do without her these days!
Our ward just split, it was met with much sadness, but we are getting used to it. Dave was just sad that he didn't get released from Gospel Doctrine! We are getting used to it and meeting lots of new and fun people. it is good for us.
So Mothers Day yesterday was very nice. My kids has picked out a beautiful necklace all by themselves. They were so excited, as I was opening it Luke said' "mom its a necklace!" He kept saying " Do you love it?" and "who gave that to you", just so I could say his name. Jenna told me happy mothers day many times and I got lots of hugs and kisses. Just what every mother wants!Dave also gave me some very nice gifts as well, he spoiled me and I didn't have to lift a finger most of the day. It was very nice!
Well, I will try to post more often now that I have joined the living again! So I hope all is well with everyone and we will be back soon, hopefully!

#3 is on the way...

So it has been a really long time since I have posted anything. Well that is the reason why! I am 12 weeks pregnant and can barely survive so this is the last thing that gets done these days. I am feeling okay, I am on medication that makes it so I only throw up once or twice as compared to 5 or 6! But I am so incredibly tired! Anyway we are all very excited to have a new addition to the family. I am due October 15th, so lucky me I get to go through the long hot summer! well, I am just checking in and I cannot promise regular updates, but I will try!

more potty stuff..

So I am downstairs making Macaroni and cheese for my kids and niece for lunch and Luke was upstairs by himself. That is almost never a good idea! Anyway I yell up to him to tell him that lunch is ready and I hear him yell,"just a minute I am just drinking potty water!" So at first I am thinking that hopefully he is just drinking the water from the sink and just refered to it as the potty water. Then I decide that I should probably run up and check on him, that was a good idea. When I got there he is standing in front of the toliet with one on Jenna's tea cups and a fresh cup of Toliet water. He was mad that I interupted his fun. I certainly had a good laugh! Afterwards, I thought at least he was honest with me! Oh the joy of little boys!

potty face and kindergarten!

So you might be wondering what Luke is doing here, well, yep that is a potty on his face! the other day we thought it would be a good idea to show him his little potty and get him excited about going potty. well it worked just not in the way we would have liked. He takes the potty and puts it on his face and shouts look at me and them runs around saying "potty face" and laughing. It was pretty hilarious! Well, I guess it is getting him familiar with it right? He is definately our comedian!
I was looking through my pictures and had a longing to be back on the beach where it is nice and warm! So I just thought that I would share.

Today was a big step for me, I registered Jenna for Kindergarten! Yep, I am getting old,(at least I don't get stuff from the AARP like Dave!Sorry! Happy Birthday today! I love you!!) anyway we just went and filled out the paperwork for her to start this next school year. Crazy, that I am going to have a kid in school ! She is very excited, I am excited but a little nervous, all of you moms that have been through it I am sure understand. I am just going to miss her, we have lots of fun together. Alright enough of this sappy stuff... Anyway, it was just one of those things you have to do that make you think a little. But she will love it and do great!

I'm Back!!

Aloha!
I have been unable to post lately because I have been very busy laying on the beach in Hawaii! Dave and I went with my family for a whole week to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday! What a way to celebrate! My parents were kind enough to pay for our airfare as part of our Christmas present, so it made the trip a little more affordable. Unfortunatly for Dave there was too much shopping to do so we still spent a fair amount! Anyway I have to let all of you know my gratitude for my wonderful in-laws who watched my kids so that Dave and I could really have a stress free vacation together! ( Also thanks to Scot and Kirsten for their help too!) Anyway so here are a few pictures from my trip, it really is just a few I took like 150, thank goodness for digital cameras!

The morning after we arrived in Hawaii, Dave and I woke up very early because of the time change and (okay I admit that I woke Dave up early because I had been awake for awhile!, He didn't mind being woken up in Hawaii though.) Anyway this is the sunrise that first morning, isn't is gorgeous?! This was taken in the backyard of our house that we rented, pretty cool!
This is us at the Hawaii Laie temple. It is beautiful! Unfortunatley we never made it to so a session but walking around was wonderful and as always there was such a sweet spirit there.
Yep, this is me learning the Hula at the P.C.C Shake those hips!! Dave enjoyed watching this!
This is what I enjoyed! We watched these guys do a show and the one next to me climb up the palm tree to get a coconut. It's okay to drool ladies, I know I did!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dave and I at the Lua at the P.C.C. This trip was so great for us! It is so nice to just be yourself with no stress and for me not to be the mom/slave/maid etc.. Anyway, we really enjoyed it! We also toured Pearl Harbor, went snorkeling, shopping, swimming, hiked Diamond Head, etc. If you want to see more pictures just let me know I would be more than happy to share! Although it was such a wonderful trip it was nice to sleep in my own bed and I totally missed my kids like crazy! Although everytime I talked to them they were having so much fun. Well, now it is back to real life and it is so cold here! My feet do not enjoy being in such confined places! Well, have a great day! Mahalo!

Random thoughts and Kindness

Well, its been a week since I have blogged, forgive me! Well today is my birthday! Yeah Happy birthday to me! It's pretty much like any other day but better. My wonderful sweet husband made me breakfast in bed! It was nice to have a peaceful breakfast. I watched the Today's show and learned all about Dr. Phil and Britney Spears, and yes those to do go together as of late. I also played referee for two four year olds, one of them being mine, what better gift could there be than that! No, it has actually been a great day. My friend Kathleen, knows all about my love of pants and got me a new pair of my favorites! That is a true friend! Jessica and Rachelle took me to dinner last night at Paradise Bakery! YUMMY! Another friend Jaime brought by a little gift as well. It so nice to have so many wonderful people who care! Also my brother Scot totally surpirsed me by his phone call, the first and only of my family to call so far. So yeah, it has been a pretty good day, too bad I have to get older to have a birthday! Fortunately I will always be younger than Dave! (I love you!)
So MOnday night when it snowed, I was totally sick and Dave worked late and the last thing that either of us wanted to to was to shovel the driveway. Well we heard someone shoveling about 10:00 that night and we just assumed that it was a neighbor doing their driveway. nope, someone shoveled our driveway, of course I wouldn't have told this story if it didn't turn out that way right? Anyway, if you read this, Thank you! If not, I just want everyone to know what wonderful neighbors we have!
Here is another random thing that Jenna said the other day. She was going to the bathroom, its okay to keep reading its rated G, She said, "mommy do you know where the toliet goes to?" I said "what?" She said " the toliet goes to outer space, that is where all of my poop and pee goes." Well I had a good laugh and asked her where she learned that and she said that she just knew it! So now I know where the toliet goes to!

Sorry, this has been a very random post! But at least I posted something! Have a great day! Thanks for visiting~

I had a problen with the pictures in my earlier post so here are the pictures that go with the post!

sleepless nights and craziness...

As my title suggests I am suffering majorly from lack of sleep. Luke has been sick for like four days now and fortunately in on the mend! So in between getting up with him and trying to hang out with Dave and staying up to watch Hairspray way too many late nights! This makes for a very ornery mother ( sorry kids). So today has been "one of those days".

Well, on to happier and nicer things.. Jenna and I went to the U of U gymnastics meet on Friday. It was a fun Girls Night, as always. However now my little four year old would like her very own MP3 player! I don't even own an MP3 player ( that is perhaps another issue for another day!). Jenna spent the evening listening to High School Musical and Hannah Montana with her cousin Emma. Thanks Emma!( that was said with just a hint of sarcasm) No, it was fine and made for a fun night.
Saturday Jenna and I accompanied Beautiful Bride to be Biz to the Bridal show at the JSMB. It was a lot of fun, so much in fact I am considering getting married all over again! (What do you think Dave?) Jenna had the time of her life as well, she said,"There are a MILLION treats here!" Yes she ate so many treats that day! We all got to sample the yummy food and I was very glad that I hadn't eaten lunch! So I thank Jeff for not going to the expo so that Jenna and I could enjoy it thanks Jeff!
I saw two new movies last weekend as well. The Bourne Ultimatum and Enchanted. Both were excellent. Again Jenna and I had girl time and she loved it and giggled all the way through Enchanted up until the end where she had to go to the bathroom, it figures that she would have to go right at the climax of the movie, isn't there some sort of law that supports that?
Well, anyway those are my ramblings of my weekend. I am just so glad that Luke is finally feeling better and I have my Hairspray fix in so now I hope to get a good nights sleep!

Milk and Mashed potatoes

So I was thinking now that I have a blog, I can just write down all the crazy things that my kiddos do. I certainly think they are funny, you can decide for yourself! So anyway, last night at dinner I made beef stroganoff and mashed potatoes. We were eating in the usual way, with lots of mess and chaos that happens when you have kids, especially a two year old boy! Well, I was just finishing up and took a good long drink of milk, because well it does a body good! As I tasted my milk I started spitting it out and Jenna and Dave and Luke are just laughing at my luck. As I look into my glass, there was a huge lump of mashed potatos in the bottom of my glass! YUCK! I had to get a big drink of water to rinse my mouth out. Meanwhile everyone was laughing hysterically! I will give you one guess as to who put those mashed potatoes into my drink....maybe a cute little two year old? Anyway it was a good laugh and I hope that it will bring some into your day! Have a good one, but I reommend staying away from mashed potatoes in your drink!

Jenna and Dave's snowman

Just before Christmas, it snowed so much and Jenna and Dave built the snowman. It was pretty funny! they tried using Craisins but they wouldn't stick( I just couldn't get rid of the craisins). So they just used sticks and stuff and it turned out pretty cute!

my family just before christmas

New Blog!

Well, I have finally done it! I have entered into the blogging world, thanks to my sister in law. She kept telling me how wonderful it is to have a blog, well we will see..... Anyway we are doing well in the Plowman family. With the new year comes lost of new things. Jenna will be starting Kindergaten this year, a very exciting first! Dave is finally finished with his MBA and now has lots of free time to play his new Wii(our third child). Luke is also doing well. He loves to play with his new Geotracks that he got for Christmas. And me, well,I tend to keep myself busy with one thing or another. I am just counting down the days until Dave and I fly to Hawaii( without kids)! So here is just a little bit about my family. There will be more fun plowman facts/stories/pictures to come! Thanks for visiting my new blog!
