A Very Late Fall Update

Tommy: My little buddy is finally in a big bed. I held off as long as I could because I had nightmares of him getting out of his bed at night so I kept puttting it off. Luckily for me he is doing amazingly well and has only fallen out once! Yeah for the T-man.

Kassie: My Munchy Munch, which is my nick name for her, had her first dance recital. It was at a retirement home, the "big" one will happen in June. She is such a natural and can memorize the routines really well. Her long skinny legs can really get shakin'! Yeah for Kass!

Katherine: Well, I guess I'll make an official blog announcement . . . I am almost 17 weeks pregnant. Can you believe it folks? That's right, another little Richardson is due June 2nd. I have to admit the family has had wrinkled clothes (one day I actually had to iron Kassie's shirt because I was too embarrassed at how wrinkled it was), eaten nothing but nuggets and mac and cheese off paper plates, watched too much TV and dealt with a pretty grumpy mom the past few months!! But... we have survived!! Yes!! I have to count my blessing because I wasn't nearly as sick as a lot people, so I'm glad the worst part is over!! I'm still playing catch-up, but thankfully I accomplished my main goal for the holidays which was to get the family Christmas packages sent to Arizona!! So, now I am in the stage of pregnancy where I really don't look pregnant but just look like I've eaten way too many chocolate chip cookies and other delicious holiday treats! Yeah for me!

Lee: Leeford is a busy guy. He managed to get a week off at the beginning of December so he helped me paint Tommy's room and do a few other chores around the house. A week never seems to be enough to get anything done!! He doesn't officially get Christmas off this year. We're still not sure what he'll have to do Christmas, probably just round and be able to come home. But he does get New Year's off! Yeah for Lee!
