I don’t have an official belly bump picture for this week as we were in sunny California visiting my mom and step-dad for a long weekend.

I hadn’t realized just how much I missed my mom (and family in general) until we got there and then of course when it came time to say good-bye.  Good-bye’s are never fun.

Ignore my weird hair thing going on…

 You know another nice thing about California in November?  The beach.

Things I’m thankful for:

Family (Now I just need a way to visit them all several times a year).

A husband who is kind, generous, thoughtful, and patient.

Cats who miss us terribly when we’re gone and give the best snuggles when you’re feeling down.

Warm memories to last through the winter months.

And last but definitely not least, I am thankful for the life growing inside me. In just a little over 4 months I’m going to be a Mom.
