Really BIG News

OK. . .breaking news!!!! I'm pregnant!!

Hopefully you all read everything I write, because I'm actually not pregnant. Just kidding. Did anyone actually fall for that anyway?

So here's some big news in the Rogers' household. AKA Sunday night photos -- so you won't be terribly impressed by any photo skills.

1. We got a new car -- in case you missed mention of it earlier. YIPPEE! It only took a year to convince my husband I needed a new one, but I love it. Leather seats, built in DVD player, rear assist parking, room for the all the kids in my sweet carpools. . . but the best part has to be the remote start. Holy cow! How did I ever make it through the summer without remote start before? I love getting into a nice cool car!
Like I said -- it's Sunday night, so you get the "run into the garage and take one picture" shot. I did spend a few hours in the 1oo+ degree weather cleaning out my garage so it was nice and clean for my new car.

2. Sadie is now sleeping in a CRIB! A real crib in a real room. WOO HOO! The first night back from vacation, we stuck her in there and she did great. It's been a week and she's doing awesome. Of course we had to move all of the toys into the guest room, though. That took up my entire Saturday -- but it's DONE.


3. NURSERY! Oh yeah, we're legal now.
For all you non-LDS -- it means she gets to start going to the children's class for hours of church. Dustin is thrilled since he usually has her for those 2 hours while I do Primary. He might be able to listen now!

4. I finished all of Ellie's school shopping. We're all ready -- shoes, back pack, lunch bags, school supplies, uniforms. . . even a winter coat. I've been picking stuff up on sale for almost an entire year, and it's finally all ready to go. Ellie even picked out her outfit for the first day of school. One more week! I want it to be known that I only paid full price for 2 articles of clothing.

5. Nate has finally started dressing himself. He was having trouble getting his shirts on, but he's finally got it. Oh, and today I told him he had to take a nap after lunch. Right after lunch I ask Dustin where Nate is -- sure enough, he put himself down for a nap. The "jammies" he picked out for himself tonight. Picture taken in the already messy playroom.

6. HOLY COW! I almost forgot one more piece of big news. My Hungarian name day is coming up. I came across this random piece of information reading a friend of my sister's blog. Turns out that Name days are a big deal in Hungary. Even bigger than your birthday. People give you presents and flowers. . . So I just thought I'd better warn you all because my name day, according to this chart, is July 22nd! You only have a day to prepare!

And so there you have it! Big news on a quiet Sunday night. And all of you who I talked to on the phone tonight know that it wasn't all that quiet here, but I'd like to pretend it was.
