Cleaning...
So, as everyone knows, cleaning is a constant chore... Now, more than ever before, it is a NEVER ending process! Mattie Anne can make such a big mess for such a little person! We began working with her and a couple of months ago we started to have a lot of success with picking toys up and throwing things in the trash. She will do anything for a "good girl" and clapping! It has become pretty convenient, especially when the trash can is in another room...Mattie Anne is more than willing to take it for you! She even thinks its fun! How Awesome! We are better parents than we ever thought we could be. So, since we had such a good response with picking up toys and throwing away trash we thought it was time for Mattie Anne to pick up some more responsibilities around the house...I mean what else are children for? See below for pictures of Mattie Anne doing her household chores...and before anyone calls child services...look at the expression on her face :)

10 months later...
So, I'm not so good at the blog thing anymore! Is has been 10 months since my last post... So, a lot has changed!
I'll start with the most interesting one of us...Mattie Anne! She is almost 1 1/2! She is talking up a storm, her favorite words are dog and kitty cat. I'm afraid she is going to bring every stray she sees when she is older...she loves animals!!! She started saying Jesus! It was such a blessing! Matt and I, when we put her to bed, read a book and then sing Jesus Loves Me (You). Last week when we were in the chair after we read the book she said Jesus and now she says it when she gets tired or it is bed time! How sweet! She also loves holding hands when we pray before meals, she has even reached out for our hands when we sat down! She won't say Amen though... I need to start a list of all the words she is saying...Maybe another post... She loves to dance, her version of dancing is spinning in circles. Last weekend it was actually in the 60s so we were able to go to the park! Mattie Anne loves slides! She even went down the big one that is like a tube that her daddy had to take her up to reach. She came out backwards, on her stomach, and giggling!
On to my wonderful husband! He is especially wonderful today because he got the day off from work and is doing laundry!!! Laundry is our worst downfall! We both hate it! So, Matt has put in his rank list and we will find out where we will match in the middle of March- less than 6 weeks away! Talk about your life being on hold! I can't wait to find out so we can start the mad rush to buy a house and move and fit all that around having a new baby! For those that don't know, he is applying for residencies in Pathology. He is interested in transfusion medicine, which would be a fellowship after the 4 year pathology residency.
So last but not least...Me! So, I'm pregnant for those that don't know. I'm 23 weeks. Everything is going great! I'm really busy at work with a new trial. PARTNER- percutaneous aortic valve replacements. The valve is inserted through the femoral artery (in the leg) up to the aortic valve in the heart and deployed. It prevents patients from having to have open heart surgery. It has been a wonderful trial to work on!
Well, I have tons of pics that I need to add. But I thought if I at least wrote something that would get me started! Hopefully I'll have pics soon!
