Having tried everyday for the last 2 months to get on blogger, I was shocked when this afternoon the internet finally let me connect! I've been quickly scanning all the blogs I so love to read and now I am taking a quick moment to tell you about life. I honestly don't know if anyone even reads this anymore, but here goes just the same :-)
On Tuesday, yes this Tuesday, We begin a slightly crazy, super exciting trip up to Northern Ireland. We are finishing up our year here in Morocco, spending a month or so in N. Ireland to have Baby #3 and then hopefully arriving back in the states in time for Turkey day!!!
Since I am 36 weeks prego this week (wow, I can hardly believe that!) I am too prego to fly. So we'll be hopping on a ferry up to Spain, taking two trains up to Paris. Spending a few nights in Paris to catch our breath and to see a city I have always wanted to see. Then a train across to London via the Chunnel! A bus up to a city north of London to see a good friend, and finally another train and ferry combo until we arrive in Belfast! Whew. But wait that's not all! We'll be met by friends who will then drive us to the house we've rented for our time in Ireland! Can you believe it?! All with two toddlers and a very pregnant me!
Needless to say the boys are EXCITED. Everyday I am reminded that we'll be going on a boat and then two trains in just a few days. Josiah is often telling me that I should save some yummy food item for our trip on the train, or maybe I should make some PB and J so we'll be ready. He is too cute! Benson isn't really sure what its all about, but his brother is excited so he is too.
After we arrive in N. Ireland we'll meet with the Doctor and set up a date for a c-section so we can finally meet Baby #3. Its all pretty exciting, but kinda weird too. This trip is so big, I don't think it will really hit me until after we arrive that we're about to have another little kiddo! It will be fun to have a little "Irish" boy or girl and we've been trying to come up with some good "Irish" names. Haven't fully decided yet, but hopefully once we meet #3 we'll have one all picked out :-)
I hope to keep you better posted from here on out. Not sure what our internet connection will be like until we arrive in the States, but I will do my best :-) Anything will be better than here in Morocco! So, come on back and start reading about our crazy adventures!

I am here Dan!
I check in once a week or so... and was SO excited to read a new post! Hug Tommy for me, and drink some good Irish alcohol once you pop that baby out!
We're praying for you my friend! Can't WAIT to see you all again and to meet Baby #3!!!
Just sitting here with Elena wondering WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU at this moment? Can't wait to see you all in 9 short days! Did I ever tell you I was told the Irish think it is important to feed Guiness to pregnant moms?!?! NOW I know WHY you're going ;)
love, MomG (I don't know why this automatically signed in as Becky)
DANI!!! Can't wait for you to get back! Enjoy the adventure. Sounds like your boys will. And #3 will have adventures soon enough. Never a dull moment for you guys! Irish names: Mary Katherine (of course) or Michael Patrick (or Patrick Michael). Or just any name with an O' before it! See you soon!!
