Week 2 -- Bed rest! This little man has been causing problems since day 1! I am so anxious to meet him! I know it will be worth the last 35 weeks!!
The girls are on Holiday break and I do feel bad for them! They have been helping out with chores while I lay in bed. Thanks to Judy, Sandi, Mom, dad, McKenzie, Kerstin, Sid, Scott, Michelle Gorman, my neighbor Joyce Brant, Kim Evans and anyone I forgot to mention! Meals, cleaning, laundry and everything seems to be getting done! Not much longer!

Kent Boyd came to the dance studio this week and taught the girls some of his moves! They LOVED IT!!

Winter Fun!!
Saturday I participated in a winter fest event for my Thirty - One business in Rockford! www.mythirtyone.com/amberjdavis Sidney came along as my helper!! =) On the ride home she informed me " Mom...I don't want to share the middle with Kerstin when the baby is born....I want to share the baby spot! "

Kerstin also performed at Winterfest and did a great job! Monday she get's to meet Kent Boyd who was runner up in a National Dance competition - So you think you can dance last year. He has also appeared on some Disney channel show they watch! She really LOVES dance and we are blessed to have such a great studio in town!

Kerstin with some of her friends. She stayed over at Macy's house after the event!

SNOW DAY!!!!! - Monday there was NO SCHOOL! So we cleaned toy boxes, closets, played in the snow and made cookies! Oh...and stayed in our PJ's all day!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

We had a friend take some quick pics before a wedding we recently attended! Knowing our family dynamics will change in a few months but still wanting a Holiday pic! I am cutting my Christmas card list short this year as I anticipate sending birth announcements in a few weeks! If you don't receive a card please know you are in our thoughts and we wish you much happiness in 2011! Love to all!

We turned our nursery into a den last winter and now this winter back to a nursery. It's very simple. THANKS to my sister April who made our quilt. I searched the world over for 'red tractor' bedding with no luck so we found material and it's so amazing! WE LOVE IT!

When we remodeled last winter I removed the 'closet' to add bookshelves so I am using totes to store toys and clothes.

Trick or Treat!!!

Kerstin played a 'little old lady' in her reading class play a few weeks ago. She did a great job memorizing her lines!

Washington DC Trip 2010
McKenzie's 6th grade class went to DC for a week. We spent 2 nights sleeping on the bus (YUCK) but the rest of the trip was AMAZING! What a great city. The architecture, history and memorials really make you appreciate everyone who has given so much for our freedoms! McKenzie took over 500 pics and is going to make an album. If you'd like to see more we can send you the snapfish link!

We watched the changing of the guard at Arlington and our school had a wreath laying ceremony.

The Hope Diamond!

battlefield! I think we walked 800 miles that week!

Friends and Family,
Greetings! I want to let you know that I have become a consultant for Thirty-One. Thirty-One is a company that sells storage totes, bags, purses, baskets, stationary and more. The fabric prints are very cute and durable, and most items can be personalized with monogramming. I will soon start my monthly e-mailing list for specials, sales and promos! Check it out!

This is a HUGE step for me personally and professionally. My Longaberger business has been slow and the company continues to change! I LOVE working in the direct selling industry and Thirty-One is a new company with a lot of opportunities! I have set a 90 day goal to see what happens! If it's not successful I'll have my kit of amazing products and will move on! I continue to sell Longaberger and hold the title of Team Leader!

I would also be happy to send you a catalog, schedule a holiday party, or set up an online party for your friends. There are always new monthly specials on products and good deals for hosts. October offers blankets (value of $29 or $34) for just $10 with a $450 party!

Please share your thoughts with me!
Thanks for your support!
Love,
Amber
