Both Andrea and I have been so busy with out other sites this one started collecting some dust. Andrea has been hitting it hard on her new natural baby product and cloth diaper site, littlesquigglers.com. I of course still have yourappletrainer.com for my business but I have been playing around with some new sites.

The first is mactrainer.tumblr.com This simple blog I am using to help Mac users around the web by posting short little how-to screen-cast videos for free. So far I’ve been able to help a lot of people on Twitter and Facebook.

My other more ambitious project is stwoknews.com This site was born out of frustration for our currently local news coverage online. You can read my rant post for more details.

2010 is the year both Andrea and I will work hard at our core businesses. Everything else we are throwing up against the wall to see what sticks.

This refresh is a work in progress so stay tuned for more little tweaks and changes.

We have updated our photo gallery and will continue to do so throughout the year so make sure to check out upcoming weeks and months of our family photos!

Last weekend Ainsley got to meet her other Grandparents and just fell in love with them, it was great to have Chris’ parents here in Stillwater, OK. We also had Ainsley’s baptism since Chris’ folks were down so we have added those photos as well to our gallery!

My brother Philip and his wife Aleia are expecting in July and unfortunately I had to miss her shower last weekend but I will make sure to get up to Kansas City once they welcome their new baby into the world!

We hope everyone is doing great and we will try to keep you updated!

Love,

Andrea (Freckles)

So Chris, baby A., and myself had an amazing weekend and a very stressful start of this week! Grammy & Grampy Maciula took the whole family to the Lion King in OKC, and The Mantle for dinner! It was extraordinary.
Saturday, April 25th: First the food at The Mantle was excellent, served well, and the atmosphere was great! Second, the VIP seats that we had for the Lion King were amazing. I was crying the first five seconds from the awe inspiring sounds and sights of the play! Ainsley was turning and jumping all around during most of the show! It truly was an experience that we will never forget!

Then Monday we had our normal Non-Stress test where they monitor the baby and look at her heartbeat to make sure she isn’t stressed, we then had another ultrasound to look at her size and weight, she is estimated at nine pounds. Then we saw Dr. Henry and my blood pressure was sky high so he sent us to the hospital. We had to stay overnight where they monitored baby and mommy and then we were sent home Tuesday afternoon.

Now I am taking blood pressure meds, and supposed to be on full bed-rest until she decides to come; this means bathroom, bedroom and doctor’s visits. So please pray that baby Ainsley is developed fully and will come soon!

So if you have problems getting to us. Sorry. But I’ll try to make it as quick and painless as possible!

Chris and I are doing well, just trying to prepare for Christmas Holiday celebrations! Baby Peters is doing good and is so very excited to have a cousin Baby Mac joining it about a month after Baby P enters the world! Congrats Philip & Aleia!!!!! Grammy Mac is all a twitter!!! God truly has blessed us and our families this year! 

I sent out Christmas cards to most of the family members and friends that I had addresses for, so hopefully those will be arriving soon! If you don’t get one, I am sorry, I probably messed up your address! 

If you are in Stillwater this holiday season my mom and I will be singing at 6:30pm Christmas Eve at St Francis, so come listen and sing along! 

I guess that is all for now, I am so very ready to find out what sex Baby P is, so that I can start preparing more! January 5th only a few days away.

As for our friends, we have had a few very close friends that we consider family have very great losses in their lives, so please keep them in your prayers. We adore and love you Linda & Harvey and Amanda & Andrew, we know that God’s will seems to be confusing at times but overall remember his love and we are here for you to lean on. 

God Bless Everyone and Have a Happy Holiday!!!

p.s.  My 30th Birthday is on the 30th, I can’t believe I am already done with my twenties, but I feel great and what a wonderful birthday it will be!!!!

LOVE,

Andrea Maciula Peters

Ah, how we love the holidays! Chris, the girls (dogs), Baby P. and I all got our tree decorated and we received a really beautiful Nativity set from my parents. So we are all set for our Christmas Celebrations! Chloe and Abby (the dogs) are still not a congealed team but I am hoping that they will be someday! We go for our next prenatal visit with the doctor on Monday and hopefully we will get a heartbeat and some other goodies to post on here! In January we should get to know the sex of Baby P. We are excited about that!!!!! Well we hope you all are enjoying God’s Blessings this season! Happy Holidays!
