It's a boy?

Well, I have officially passed the point in my pregnancy where I threw up with both of the girls... without throwing up! I never thought I could be pregnant and digest all of my food. I haven't even had really bad nausea, which is also amazing. So if only I could get over my CONSTANT need to eat and falling asleep on the floor while playing with my children at 3:00, I wouldn't even know I was pregnant!

Happy Pie Day!

My sister in law posted on facebook today that it was National Pie Day. That was all the excuse I needed to bake a pie.












So Happy Pie Day from the Saemenes Family!

Sorry you weren't here to share it with us D!

My Year of Reading with Intention

I read a total of 40 books this year. I am proud of myself for the number and for quite a few of the books I read. Not all of the books would exactly qualify as "intentional" and I didn't read all of the ones off my list... but I count it as a success nonetheless.

My favorites-
The Help- Kathryn Stockett
The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde
The Raging Quiet- Sherryl Jordan (This is actually a YA book that I have read a few times but is still one of my favorites)
Pride&Prejudice & Zombies- Seth Grahame-Smith and Jane Austen
Watership Down-Richard Adams
Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins

There were some others that I read that I liked, but these are my favorites. I am excited to start my 2011 book list. Let me know if you have any recommendations!
