The Move

In keeping with tradition, now that I am in the third trimester we have moved! Across the street. And we are trying to unpack and "settle in" as MariAnn called it. I hope you are settled in MariAnn, and I hope to feel settled too soon. We are quite satisfied with our relocation decision and I for one am looking forward to decorating the boys room! How fun does that sound? To have two boys? I know, I know, how can I even pluralize boy without some trepidation. Well let me have my fun because I am ready to look on the bright side. No guilty looks at my husband as I enter the house, my arms laden with packages of delightful girly clothes and paraphernalia. No, not yet. I am not ready to spend my lack of fortune on a daughter. Instead I am planning to run around chasing little boys and dirt and wreaking havoc while we are still renting.


Quote of the weekend, "Mommy happys?" Thomas is learning to add "s" to words. Yes- we are in the homestretch! Less than 2 months of pregnancy to go and Mommy is happy!


Here's a copy of our new address letter sans address that I emailed out to a few token family members and friends. If you would like our new address just email me or comment with your email and I will send it to you.

Thanks for reading and happy September!!


Dear Family and Adoring Fans,

John and I would like to formally announce and otherwise proclaim to each of you individually (but that would be a waste of time) that we have moved. Across the street. Hereafter, please mail all packages, cookies, and other miscellaneous items including chocolate to the address below. We wanted to make this announcement advantageously before our birthdays and Christmas arrive.

Here is our new address:

John and Paige Wilson
yada yada yada


For those of you who wonder why the new address is almost exactly the same as our old address please see above where I said we just moved across the street. A huge thanks to those of you who already knew this information because you helped us move.

We are happy to have moved to a 2 bedroom apartment which is smaller than our 3 bedroom apartment because we are trying to save money and savor the days when we are NOT rich. Which days will be in the future. Yes I have a crystal ball. No you may not use it. It's great to stay in the ward, and to have the same landlord. Overall everything about moving except the moving part has been very enjoyable, and the only difficulty we are having is finding new places for all of the stuff we have collected thus far in our marriage.

Since this is an update I will mention that John is doing very well beginning his Masters in Information Systems Management (looks impressive, no?) and Thomas is also being impressive mostly by learning new words and getting into things like Ajax, mommy's make-up and the DVD player. This is a quite demanding semester but John is (hopefully) equally dedicated and he's already put in hours of reading in. He is also enjoying his work experience at BYU Broadcasting. It's a wonderful time to be in school, and we are grateful for he has a steady job where his talents are recognized. We are all healthy and looking forward to having a baby boy at the beginning of November if he doesn't come on Halloween. We don't have a name picked out yet but that doesn't mean we're not excited.

Thank you for reading this! Have a great day!
Paige

Have to admit, "settling in" takes sometime!

I'm so glad you have some much energy to keep up with "boys". = )

Granola Recipe adapted from a Smitten Kitchen Recipe

My friend just made these and gave ME some!  I feel so honored!  They were really crispy and clustery- new word?  So I'm sharing them with you.  Love, Paige   6 c. Old Fashioned Oats 2 c. shredded coconut 2 c. Rough chopped Almonds (I pulsed in the food processor 5-6 times) 1 c. Wheat Bran 1 t. kosher salt 1 t. cinnamon Combine all dry ingredients then add these wet ones. Stir until covered. 1/4 c. Olive Oil 1 c. pure maple syrup 3 egg whites  Whip until they are frothy and pour into oat mixture. Stir until combined.  Spread on a lined baking sheet, pressing it down gently. Bake for 40 minutes at 300. Turn large portions of granola like you are flipping a pancake. (trying to keep it clustered) Bake for 15 more minutes at 300. Check to see if its golden brown all over. If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
