We're Losers....Sorry!

Sorry that we at the Brian Hobbs' family are such blogging losers lately. I am promising you change for the future, though. We will soon be posting exciting new photographs for your viewing pleasure. In the mean time, here is some of our exciting news:

We're having a baby in 7 weeks!!! We can't wait for our little boy to be born. We had a great baby shower last weekend and got an awesome haul for the little guy. Then we finally broke down and got a crib for him to sleep in...Madison didn't like the idea of sharing her bed with him. Some children are just so ungrateful.

We bought a house! We're waiting for closing as we speak, and are really feeling scared. We were supposed to close on the 27th of this month...but we've hit some snags with paperwork taking two and three weeks to process, so we're looking at closer to March 12th now. I guess it is all okay, although I'm getting really anxious because there are things to get done in the house before the baby comes! If anyone feels like coming out here to help me paint a nursery and sew curtains, I would be so happy to have you! Our new place (well, new to us) is so cute, and we are really looking forward to having a place of our own where we can put nails in the walls and not worry about Madison drawing on things.

Brian is a super awesome teacher and was chosen to go to this sweet conference in March. He is one of only two teachers here chosen to go...it is a conference on technology in the classroom, and he is going to get some cutting edge information plus some continuing ed credits....so we are way stoked about it. Plus, it is totally paid for...plane tickets, hotel and food. We love free things!

Madison is going to be playing soccer. We are signing her up this month and she will start probably the first of April. She's so excited, as is her Uncle Ryan, who keeps trying to buy her cleats and professional gear, which they won't let her wear because they don't even hold practices for the 4 year old teams...just games. I think it will mostly be just a pack of wild four year olds running up and down the field, not really knowing what's going on. But it will be fun and exciting, and a way for her to have something special to do since Mom and Dad will be a tiny bit distracted by her new baby brother.

I think that is all of the exciting news we have for now. I promise to put up some awesome pictures of our new place and of our cute Madison. We also have some sweet 3-D sonogram photos that Brian is going to upload for me of our little man, and I have some cute pictures of Nanci and I as huge preggos together. I promise it will be worth the wait!!!
