Absentee Reporting for duty...

Alright, I'm back! How is it that I failed to blog for 5 months? What a slacker. Okay, pop my wrist...punishment over. The period of absenteeism is over! :)

Now to catch up on the life of the Cartwrights! :)

Since I last posted we've made some big decisions & have moved to the OBX to join in ministry here at a local church. We couldn't move until we finished up the afterschool program we were running in EC. So, school got out on June 8th and on June 10th we packed up a U-haul and moved to our new place!

These plans of course were made a few weeks (maybe months) prior & it just so happened that the VERY week we were moving, we found out some BIG NEWS!
On June 6th, 2012 this happened...
That's right! The "couple of Cartwrights" that my title is based on is changing to THREE Cartwrights!
We are due on January 30th, 2013 and on Aug. 27th we found out that we are welcoming a little BOY into our family! :)
  

I have a friend who had a nickname for her little guy before he was born & we loved that idea, especially before we knew were were having a little man! So we (mainly aunt Kara) came up with a nickname for the little one and I'm displaying it here: 
Don't mind the motion-sickness bands and the general nauseous-ness that I can see seeping out of my very pores. This was a first trimester (also known as puke for the fun of it time period) but thankfully that has passed! 


And here I am as the bump is just starting to show...although anyone who's been pregnant knows that I felt like I was showing long before this! haha :) 

We are now passed the halfway point and tomorrow marks 21 weeks! 
January will be here before we know it! 

WE CAN'T (but can, of course for his health) WAIT TO MEET OUR LITTLE GUY!


And on other fronts: Joe and I both have part-time local jobs & Joe of course is involved in the family ministry here at our church. We are loving life & appreciate prayers that the next few months of our pregnancy go smoothly and result in a happy, healthy little boy come January!

And here is my promise to not wait 5 months before blogging again! *pinky promise*
