Jonathan and Katrina’s website
As soon as I say “We have big news!” people always seem to know that we are pregnant! So guess what world…there is going to be another baby Smith! We are so so so excited and thrilled with anticipation to have a child. We have had two doctors appointments now–today we saw the baby’s heart beat! We are due on our exact date of our 5 year anniversary: May 26. What a miracle.
It’s a beautiful crisp fall season here in Maryland! The leaves are starting to turn color and I am ready for hot cocoa and bundling up on the couch with a book. It’s hard to stay focused!
Jonathan is working hard balancing work, school and family. No matter what small detail I am stressed about he is loving and supportive. I am so thankful. Last week he attended a small convention and symposium on digital libraries at the University of Maryland. He really enjoyed it and had several things to enlighten me with!
I am teaching flute lessons at two private high schools in Maryland and have several students of my own. It has been a huge job and it is really rewarding learning all the different personalities! Last month I also auditioned for several orchestras in the area. Thank you for your support and prayers. Even though it was stressful, it was a great experience to go through. I have found that in order to simulate your body’s response to that kind of stress, you must do about 30 jumping jacks to get your heart rate going then try to play a soft sustained passage. Your heart and lungs are just screaming for attention while you have to focus on the music. What a challenge.
We are looking forward to visiting California for Christmas time. I hope that posts are more frequent–keep emailing us!
Woah! Big change, huh? I’ve switched our website over to a different program. We had previously been using Mambo, and while great it was just too much for what we wanted to do. So now we’re using WordPress, blogging software that I’m quite comfortable with since I use it on my own blog.
Sorry about the basic layout and electric blue, but I thought it would be best to just get the site up since I’m not sure when I’ll have time to make it pretty. Hopefully it will be easier for us to update, so you can expect to hear more from us!
You can still see all of our picture via the Photo Gallery link to the right. However that hasn’t been updated in a while either.
Sayonara.
