House we have an offer on :)

Here is a video Craig made about the house we have an offer on. We're so excited. If all goes well with closing it will be ours soon :) YEAH!!!

Weird Pregnancy Dreams

So I'm blaming the hormones on my recent but frequent weird dreams. I'm either married to someone else and remember that being married to Craig was so much better and I need to just figure out how to get back, or....I forget who I am married to and know that there must be someone, but the name just doesn't come to light. A couple of them I've been married to ex boyfriends which is incredibly odd (it's never the same one. They seem to be on random selection). Luckily, I still wake up happily next the right guy.

On a similar but somewhat different note, some of you may not have caught that the baby in my belly has 3 lower appendages and is thus providing a whole new array of hormones for me to try out. I'm not the nice happy pregnant person I was with Suede. Craig would probably say I'm quite the opposite...and I must say I have to agree. Carrying boys does not agree with me :) Luckily I love the thus far unnamed anyway. Oh the things we do for our children.

Suede's First ER visit

So it seems as if I'm doing a monthly blogging. I'll try to keep it up a bit more. A couple weeks ago Suede had her first trip to the ER (to all of our great displeasure). She couldn't keep anything down, so when nothing prevailed, her Dr. sent us to the ER to get some IV fluids pumped into her veins. So sad, but it did the trick and she was up and running just minutes after. They put Dora stickers on her IV so she kept saying, "Dora owe" :(

Clawson-Sowby Family Band Premier

We performed for our ward (church) Christmas party this year and everyone from my brothers family, our family, and my parents performed. We practiced a lot and the kids did awesome! Craig and I have been teaching the Violin and Cello and it was their first time playing in a group.

London-Violin
Mason-Rockin cello and dance moves

Hannah-Kazoo
Noah-sweet wood block and oral metronome

We're planning on hitting the road in 2009. We'll let you know of our tour schedule :)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

Things the Season Brings

I spent the morning in the Emergency Room with my niece and my sister-in-law, more out of curiosity than support. The Christmas season brings so many wonderful traditions and memories, some of which involve crafts (for ambitious moms like my sister-in-law). Thus the 3 cornered beads that you string on pipe cleaners come out in red and green to create beautiful ornaments. Hannah, my niece, decided to decorate her nose this morning and forced one of these oddly shaped beads up her nose so far it was hardly visible. No amount of blowing would budge it and when the pediatrician said it was too risky for them to dislodge it, we were off to the hospital. I really wondered how they would manage to free this tiny piece of Christmas cheer, so I had to go along. Plus, someone needed to take the pictures for posterity's sake. It took quite a few tries for the PA, with a nurse, a tech, and my sister-in-law restraining the 3 year old. Tis the season to make new promises, and she faithfully promised all involved she would never stick anything up her nose again. :)

Is There A Dr. In The House?

Well, I have to say that my hiding under a bushel for my fears of not being able to control my future are finally over. In the past months that I have neglected this poor blog I have re-taken the MCAT, finished my medical school applications including what seemed like hundreds of entrance essays. I have had 2 interviews so far, and today I got a phone call with my second acceptance. Thus, I can now come back out of my hiding space and tell you all of the happenings in the Sowby household. Dr. Sowby will be in the house.... just give it quite a few years for me to finish up :) The important thing is that I am finally on my way! Move over House, Dr. Sowby is on the way up. So far my acceptances are to a school in NYC (HARLEM) and one in the sticks of Tennessee. I'm not sure how I feel about living in the city of cement in a tiny apartment, but Craig hasn't decided yet which he prefers. NY would definitely do well for his line of work, but the school in Tenn. is in the middle of the mountains with great hiking trails. It's a tough call for him :) Anyway, I have fully repented of my folly and will keep up with the updates.

P.S. On other big news, baby #2 is on it's way at the end of May. Man do we have some changes coming to us! I obviously think this is not merely news for a Post Script, but am always unsure on how to break such news. Thus, I have resorted to the PS. Plus, those that get bored up top won't have patients (like my Dr. joke?) to find out the exciting news thus entered:) haha!
